Kangaroo Island is Australia's third-largest island, after Tasmania and Melville Island. Situated in the state of South Australia 112 km (70 mi) southwest of Adelaide, its closest point to the mainland is Snapper Point in Backstair Passage which is 13.5 km (8.4 mi) from the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Once occupied by Australian Aborigines, the native population disappeared after the land became an island following rising sea levels several thousand years ago. It was subsequently resettled from the early 19th century onwards, at first casually by sealers and whalers, and then as part of the colony of South Australia from 1836.
The island has several nature reserves to protect the remnants of its natural vegetation and native animals, with the largest and best-known being Flinders Chase National Park at the western end.
'The team at Trip Designs planned an awesome trip for my family to the Dominican Republic. All we had to do was email Milica the dates we wanted to go and a wish list of what we wanted included. She took care of all the research and once we were satisfied, she took care of all the details. We are not easy to please but we were with her services and loved our trip! We will be booking again with her soon enough for our future trips! Thanks Trip Designs!'
