Places To Visit On Kangaroo Island



Eucalyptus Distillery


And no it’s not a form of alcohol unfortunately, its oil extracted from the leaf of the eucalyptus tree, this is the last working distillery in South Australia. They offer tours and have many products for purchase made from Eucalyptus oil including shampoo. It’s believed that aboriginals used Eucalyptus as a form of medicine.

Honey Farms


There are two companies that produce honey on the Island and it’s all good. Stop by and sample some of the several different varieties that are available, most visitors that do try end up purchasing some to take home with them. If you like it that much inquire about their mailing options.

Sheep Dairy


Well I think some one made a mistake with this one; I thought it was cows that you milked not sheep. But seriously they do make some great Cheese and Yoghurts; I would say the Haloumi on a barbeque would be my favourite. They also have gourmet baskets with a range of their product’s, this would go great with that chicken and Champaign you are having on the beach later.

Fresh Seafood


If you are after fresh seafood well there are only two places on the island for that and they are both in Kingscote. They have a large variety of locally caught seafood, so call in and try some fresh Kangaroo Island seafood.


Marron Farm


Marron are fresh water crayfish, they were introduced to the Island and farming them has become another one of the islands industries. There is only one farm that offers tours and they also have a café so you can experience marron at there freshest.

Wineries


There are several wineries on the Island and the number seems to be growing. If you like your wine, well you might want to allow a whole day to see them all, it can take a while tasting.  A better idea might be visiting one or two a day while you are touring around, they are spread through out the Island.
