Kangaroo Island

It's an island seven times the size of Singapore. It's a microcosm of different landscapes and environments, with desert dunes, stunning beaches, forests, and farmlands. It's a place where you get to see native wildlife in the wild.

It's Kangaroo Island - and it's only a stone's throw away from the coast of South Australia.

And when a panel of 522 experts ranked the world's islands by comparing their commitment to sustainable tourism and preserving the environment - Kangaroo Island came out on top. National Geographic Traveler magazine has applauded its natural attractions and sensitivity to the environment - why don't you see for yourself?

In the pasture lands, local farmers produce wine, sheep's milk cheese, and the best Liguran honey you'll get this side of Italy.

On the west coast of Kangaroo Island, where the raging Southern Ocean smashes against impassive rocks, teams of ecologists keep an eye on rare species of seals.

And in the east, people relax with a quiet drink and a great meal after a day of watersports, then duck out in time to see little penguins make their nightly pilgrimage to the shore.

That's the thing about Kangaroo Island - you have to see it all.
