Southwestern Australia

A three-day driving tour of Australia’s southwest corner.

After two days in Perth and Rottnest Island, we hired a car and headed south for a quick, three-day triangular route along the western coast, through the forests of the southern coast, and back across the inland plains and their vast pastures and fields of grain. In this blog post, I’ll write an even quicker summary of our tour of this beautiful corner of Australia. Read on!

Kangaroo Island

We spent two days but should have spent a week!

Kangaroo Island is a large island off the coast of South Australia, roughly south of Adelaide [location].  It has small villages – perhaps 4,500 year-round residents farming, working in the national parks, or in the tourist industry – and a lot of wildlife.  We saw kangaroos, fur seals, sea lions, koalas, birds, and a lot of beautiful bushland.
