note kangaroo island has bush fires at the moment. Accomodation has been lost and the national park damaged- up to you whether you think it’a still worth a visit


Following up nancypants comment, I just checked on one of my favourite lodges. Sadly, their website says "Baillie Lodges regrets to advise that Southern Ocean Lodge on South Australia’s Kangaroo Island has sustained significant damage by bushfire and the property is now closed." At least a quarter of the island has been burnt and many thousands of animals, including many koalas, have died. Desperate! .
Yep, damage to Southern Ocean Lodge certainly qualifies as significant.

Still, the lodge can be rebuilt.

Decimation of the islands large (and Chlamydia free) population of koala's is a significantly greater concern.
