Australia's unspoilt Kangaroo Island

Kangaroo Island is one of earth's last unspoilt refuges, where the koalas aren't being cuddled - they're relaxing at home in native trees - and the seals aren't performing - they're lazing beside you on the beach.

Half the native bushland on Kangaroo Island remains just as it was when British navigator Matthew Flinders put a name to this untamed wilderness in 1802, and more than one-third of the island is national or conservation park.

This is one of the best places in Australia to view some of the countries most amazing wild animals and birds up close, particularly along the rugged coastline.

And of course, there's the wine and food, with popular driving holidays on Kangaroo Island including wine, cheeses, oyster and lobster tasting.
