Rank : 9.3 (average on 26 votes)

Coordinates : -35.733136, 137.919617 (Open in Google Maps)

Subjects : Koalas, kangaroos, wallabies, bandicoots, possums, echidnas, platypus, sea lions, seals, penguins to name a few but you can see much of the Australian fauna characteristics.

Recommended equipment : Okay any goal. From wide angle for landscapes led to a medium telephoto or telephoto for animals. Sometimes the animals are so close that have pushed a tele (500mm) is counterproductive because you can not focus. I would like the 100-400 zoom to take advantage of the various situations that arise.

Best months : Throughout the year.

How to get there : You can take the ferry from Cape Jervis and arrive in the town of Penneshaw or start domestic flights every day. However it is not cheap to get there. To give just one example, the ferry across the strait takes about 40 minutes but well costs 95 AUD per person (approximately 70 Euros) and only with a deck so no car.

Visits : Admission is free and so is of course to all the parks of the island. The only thing to payment are specific tours like the one that you can book at Seal Bay Conservation Park. There you can walk on the beach, accompanied by a ranger, side by side with sea lions: a truly exciting.

Notes : Not all of the main roads are paved. If you want to rent a car keep in mind that when it rains need a 4x4. Also, just because an area is not densely populated, it is best to bring along everything you need for your stay such as water and food because the shops are very few. Be careful if you drive at night because the animals, and especially the possum, pour into the streets in large quantities.
