Trail blazing
The views of the Southern Ocean render some hikers speechless, or it could just be the attention required to avoid limestone potholes along the way. Opened late last year, the five-day, 61-kilometre Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail promises to boost the island’s appeal among hikers and food lovers. The luxe Southern Ocean Lodge is working on trail options; KI Odysseys runs a guided two-night walk; Auswalk Walking Holidays has a guided six-night itinerary with stays in the historic lighthouse keeper’s cottages; and SeaLink has walking packages of one to five nights. Or DIY and sleep at the new campsites. kangarooislandwildernesstrail.sa.gov.au
