After the devastating fires of 2019 and 2020, Kangaroo Island is coming back to life more beautiful than ever
The islands have a special charm that does not leave you indifferent: lighthouses, fishermen, shipwrecks, idyllic and solitary beaches and wildlife.
Kangaroo Island it is certainly no exception and, in addition to an Aboriginal past, it can boast breathtaking views, refined beauty and good food.
Unfortunately, so much wonder risked being canceled forever due to the devastating fires of 2019 and 2020, a physical and psychological wound from which recovery will be slow and painful.
But the strength of the islanders can be seen even in such difficult moments and Kangaroo Island truly deserves the return of visitors starting from the enchanting Snelling Beach, a magical place where you can get in touch with yourself, and Seal Bay, one of the island's major attractions with the Seal Bay Conservation Park home to the rare Australian sea lion and a lookout offering views of Cape Gantheaume where, with a bit of luck, you can spot whales swimming offshore from May to October .
Of unparalleled beauty, Kangaroo Island, although with the wounds of the fires still visible, also enchants the visitor with its Flinders Chase National Park, a true pearl of the island of over 300 square kilometers. It offers seventeen trekking routes for all tastes, one of which is the most evocative.Heritage Walk which allows you to admire kangaroos, wallabies, koalas, echidnas, parrots and goannas, all in the wild.
Also here stand out the two most admired geological monuments in the area, Admirals Arch, stupendous natural arch created by the force of nature, and the Remarkable Rocks, imposing granite formations of unparalleled charm.
Another point of notable interest is Cape du Couedic with the romantic lighthouse that stands out on the windswept promontory and where the friendly seals rest on the cliffs.
But that is not all. Kangaroo Island is also renowned for its gastronomic specialties, including the delicious native oysters bred according to environmental sustainability criteria and the top quality honey produced Clifford Honey Farm, a true sanctuary of Ligurian bees. An absolute must-try is the delicious honey ice cream.
Kangaroo Island is slowly reborn to give the world, again and again, its timeless beauty.
