Thanks a lot Veronica It depends how you weight time/value/quality. given that 1 hour on a bus = 6.66' hours real time and 1000km @ 100km/hr = ?? air fares are cheaper if booked days ahead or by agent package http://www.virginblue.com.au/ http://www.southaustralia.com/home.asp http://www.southaustralia.com/transport.asp http://tinyurl.com/2nd5y or others at http://www.google.com.au/ |

Hi,I wanna see Kangaroo Island when I'll be there... My wife Stefanie and I visited KI in November 2002 and had a great time on the island. so..which is the cheapest way to get there from Melbourne? Bus? Nah, take a virgin blue flight to Adelaide. Even Qantas has cheap rates available over the net. The take the sealink-bus and ferry to KI. (http://www.sealink.com.au/) Stefanie got a little seasick on the ferry. Women ... Pah ... :-) Any tours available on Kangaroo Island? Oh well, they have a pinguin parade and pelican feeding. :-) Not quite what you are looking for? We took a rental car, went to the national park visitor centre and booked two nights at the "campground". (Uhm, only a rectangle of stones to mark a place for your vehicle, a simple toilet and a water tank. No other "facilities", but lots of nature!) We had a wonderful time with possums and wallabies which "visited" us frequently. Imagine - we got up early and I started to wash myself as I heard a "hop-hop-hop"-sound getting closer: Five or six wallabies on their way to work. :-) Oh, I should mention: At the beach they have signs which say "Freak Waves". Believe me - they mean it! You walk across the beach, don't care to much about that sign, and - wooshhh - comes a wave that tears you away. Frightening! For more information on KI, have a look at the nice website http://www.tourkangarooisland.com.au/ki-tourism.htm For a couple of days...any suggestions will be very appreciated! Just another idea: We spend some days at Wilson Promontory, about 350 km south of Melbourne. If you carry a tent and sleeping bag you can hike through wonderful nature there, too. No possums, but wombats, kangaroos, emus - and I nearly stepped on a brown snake. (I'm still not quite sure, who got more frightened - the snake or I?) Landscape is absolutely marvelous. www.airportrentacar.com.au offers rather cheap "rent-a-dent". Bego |

Any tours available on Kangaroo Island? For a couple of days...any suggestions will be very appreciated! Thanks a lot Veronica Hi, the first time I went to KI I bought a package which included ferry, 2 nights' accommodation, and two tours which were operated by Sealink http://www.sealink.com.au/ The tours covered a lot of the island in a large a/c coach. The next time I went we took a hire car. Unfortunately the people as was with didn't want to see a bl**dy thing. Sorry, must try and forget how annoyed that made me. Have fun it's beautiful :-) -- Posted via http://britishexpats.com |
