Kangaroo Island was hard hit in the devastating bushfires and the road to recovery has been a hard one. Australians can help support the local community with the launch of a new recovery tour.
Kangaroo Island Odysseys new one-night/one-day ‘Kangaroo Island Road to Recovery Tour’ operates daily and if booked for travel from the 5th to the 31st August 2020, travellers can enjoy a ‘Hot Deal’ rate of only $599 per person twin share including a free breakfast.
Out of the ashes witness the amazing regeneration and regrowth of the flora and fauna that is bringing a whole new sense of beauty and life to the island. This tour visits the bushfire affected areas at the western end of Kangaroo Island, including Bunker Hill, Remarkable Rocks, Cape du Couedic and Admirals Arch, all in Flinders Chase National Park which re-opened recently only to Certified Tour Operators. The tour also visits the fire damaged areas of Vivonne Bay Beach and Point Ellen at Vivonne Bay and the North Coast of Kangaroo Island.
Despite the devastation, the beauty of the island shines through. See tree trunks and roots shoot with buds, and ash beds now full of nutrients which have greatly enhanced the proliferation of seedling germination. With the once dense scrub now gone, see for the first-time hills and terrain that has been hidden for years and now show an incredible heat produced mosaic pattern on the landscape.
Kangaroo Island is also home to some amazing wildlife and this has not been forgotten with the tour as guests will be visiting Seal Bay Conservation Park for a guided beach walk amongst wild Australian Sealions. The tour visits the beautiful Stokes Bay in the afternoon to spot kangaroos, koalas and possibly Australia’s rarest cockatoo, the Glossy Black Cockatoo. Throughout the day guests will enjoy many opportunities for unique wildlife and native vegetation regeneration photography.
