The third-largest Australian island is around 110 km South-West of Adelaide, 16 km from the mainland. Today, Flinders Chase Nationalpark on the western side covers 20 percent of the island. The island is a must-see for animal lovers, since you can watch wild kangaroos, koalas and emus up close. The island is also home to a huge variety of parrots. Another of the island's main attractions is "Remarkable Rocks". These sandstone rocks lie on the brow of a granite cliff-face directly by the sea and erosion has shaped them into the most bizarre forms. Kangaroo Island also has beautiful secluded sandy beaches and crystal-clear water. Anyone who loves swimming, fishing or sailing has come to the right place.
