"Lonely Planet has named South Australia’s Kangaroo Island the No 2 must-visit
region for 2024 – pipped only by the western Balkans’ Trans Dinarica cycle
route.
Kangaroo Island/Karta Pintingga, which is still recovering from bushfires that
burned through 38% of the island in 2020, was picked for its food, wine,
wildlife and beaches.
“It’s blessed with amazing beaches, offers delicious food, wine, and spirits
experiences, and delivers on the drama when it comes to outdoor adventures,”
said Lonely Planet’s Chris Zeiher, who wrote the Kangaroo Island entry. “And
then there’s the wildlife!”
KI is Australia’s third biggest island, accessible by a 45-minute ferry ride
across Backstairs Passage, which lies between Fleurieu Peninsula, south of
Adelaide on the Australian mainland, and Dudley Peninsula.
Last year Lonely Planet picked KI as one of Australia’s top 20 travel
experiences and this year Tourism Australia named Stokes Bay the nation’s best
beach."
