In a U.K Sunday Telegraph they called Kangaroo Island one of earth’s last unspoilt refuges. The Island is approximately seven times the size of Singapore but literally covered in wildlife. Koalas relaxing at home in the native trees and seals lazing on the beach. Echidnas, Platypus, Goannas, Australian Wallabies and of course our native Kangaroo plus the Kangaroo Rat all thriving in their natural habitat. The majority of the Island remains as it did when it was discovered By Matthew Flinders in 1802.
