Kangaroo Island is Australia's third largest island - after Tasmania and Melville Island. It is 112 kilometres (about two hour drive for us) southwest of Adelaide at the entrance of Gulf Saint Vincent. At its closest point to the mainland, it is 13 kilometres offshore from Cape Jervis, on the tip of the Fleurieu Peninsula in the state of South Australia. The island is 150km long and between 900m and 57km wide, its area covering 4,405 km² . (wikipedia)
We stayed at American River.
As KI is so big, we took our car over on the 45 minute ferry ride.
Marshall and Kim toasting to the holiday while waiting for the ferry
Thursday was really hot and so we spent it in the pool - drinking heavily hehe.
On the Friday we went to Seal Bay - and went on a guided tour along the beach... sea lions are pretty intense! They go out and hunt and swim for three days, then rest for three.
Then we went to Vivonne Bay which is apparently one of the best beaches in the world
And this was the sunrise over American River on the day we left (about 7am)
And back to reality - thats the South Australian mainland.
We had a great time on KI and are really looking forward to coming back sometime soon.
