South Australia spoils you with opportunities to observe and interact with Native Australian wildlife. But the premium destination has got to be Kangaroo Island, just a 30 minute flight from Adelaide, the capital, and is a wildlife paradise. It can easily lay claim to Australia's answer to the Galapagos, due to the vast aray and huge amount of wildlife on the IslandA third of the Island is made up of National Parks and it is the best place in Australia to find Australia’s unique wildlife existing in there natural habitat. On my short visit we saw kangaroos, koalas, wallabies, eagles, black cockatoo's, penguins, sealions, fur seals and platypus. 3 of the most amazing experience I had:1 - I got to walk on the beach amongst the wild seals, with our guide, and being able to watch them frolic in the ocean or practise their fighting for the king of the beach title. 2 - We also got to see the Rare Yellow-tailed Black Cockatoo flying in formation in the centre of the island as we stopped at Stranraer homestead for Morning tea. 3 - And finally at our Lunch stop on one of the days, while the BBQ Fish was cooking we got a visit from a Tammar Wallaby, up close. Notoriously shy animals this guy wanted to see what we were up to so came quite close for a Photo op. I reccomend you get out there and visit this island, and South Australia, make it part of your holiday to Australia. Great for wildlife, sealife and birdlife and added to great fresh food and wine can be found to boot.
