- It’s What We Do
Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third-largest. It boasts 1600km of roads covering nearly 4500 square kilometres. Surely a lump of relatively untouched paradise perched just off South Australia would be made for adventure riding? There was only one way to find out. Andy Strapz loaded up and headed on over for a look see.
I’d been invited to take over a complete stranger’s house on Kangaroo Island for a week, so partner Janette – The Pillion In A Million – and I jammed riding gear in the van and drove into the night for a midday ferry from Cape Jervis, about 90km south of Adelaide. The ferry wasn’t cheap at around $400 return for two people and the van, and here’s a warning to the queasy: it can be rough at times, even though the crossing is only about 45 minutes.
The house was about 90 minutes drive from the ferry.
