Romantic Getaway Vacation With A Twist
A romantic getaway vacation to Kangaroo Island, Australia, is like a vacation like no other. The natural beauty of the landscape is enough to get you in the mood for romance.
A Zoo Without A Fence
Kangaroo Island, the third largest island in Australia, is literally crawling with wildlife. Kangaroo Island is 96 miles across, which means it is packed with places to see and things to do. You will be mesmerised by the landscape of rugged coastal cliffs, calm water bays sheltered by steep headlands, the vast bushland and rolling hills of farmland. The Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch are among Australia’s most fascinating coastal landmarks. The Remarkable Rocks are wind-sculpted rock formations that sit atop a smooth granite dome. Admirals Arch is a perfect sweep of sea rock under which the sea pounds.
Separated from the Fleurieu Peninsula by the Backstairs Passage straits, Kangaroo Island is like a zoo without fence. You will see kangaroo hopping along the roadside, get up close with the sunbathing seals at Seal Bay and see up-close the koala cuddling a tall gum tree at the Hanson's Bay Koaola Walk. Visit the island largest national park, Flinder Chase National Park at the western end of the Island and you will get the chance to see more of the wonderful native wildlife such as kangaroo, wallabies and birds at Rocky River. This is a great place for a romantic getaway for nature lovers. Flinders Chase National Park is well known for its amazing wildlife experiences. You can find an abundant wildlife bushwalking along trails that open up to stunning beaches. For something different, you can live the life of a lighthouse keeper and stay in a cottage at the Cape du Couedic or Cape Borda lighthouses.
