There’s an unmistakable sanctity about Kangaroo Island. It feels sheltered from the modern world, a time capsule of Australiana resting peacefully off our coastline. From the locals who raise their finger and nod their head as they drive past, in a gesture of hello. The fisherman sitting next to you at the bakery, their hands weathered and cracked by decades of salt and sun. Expansive and uninterupted bushland that nourishes thousands of kangaroos, koalas, lizards, birds and bees. There's more wildlife than there are people, so you know it's really their island and we are just welcome guests. The smell of sunscreen and the sound of easy laughter. It is a scene so pristine, that it calls on you in ways you don't expect. It asks you to tread lighter, to leave no trace and protect what is pristine. Experience this sanctuary for yourself year round by boarding a flight or ferry, or join a tour with a local who calls this place home.
