Details About Kangaroo Island
Destinations » Australia/New Zealand » Australia/New Zealand » Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island is with 1,740 square miles the third largest island off the coast of Australia. It is 96 miles long and 34 miles wide, and known for its outstanding natural beauty. Due to its remote location, Kangaroo Island was less affected than the mainland by the impact of European development. To this day, the island is rich in diverse flora and fauna seldom found elsewhere. As one of the world's last unspoiled wilderness places, about 30 percent of the island has been designated as National Parks. Its large sandy beach and dune area is home to Australian sea lions where they come to rest and nurse their young.
