KANGAROO ISLAND
From Cape Jervis, car ferries chug across the swells of the Backstairs Passage to
Kangaroo Island (KI). Long devoid of tourist trappings, the island these days is a boom-
ing destination for wilderness and wildlife fans − it's a veritable zoo of seals, birds, dol-
phins, echidnas and (of course) kangaroos. Still, the island remains rurally paced and un-
der- developed − the kind of place where kids ride bikes to school and farmers advertise
for wives on noticeboards. Island produce is a highlight.
