Hopping across to Kangaroo Island Philip King of Twogether Touring recommends Kangaroo Island for a few days’ riding.

Have a chat with the friendly folk at Sealink Ferries to get a ticket, expect professional service as your bike gets tied down on board one of their ferries, then sit back and relax. They’ll have you riding up the short hill into Penneshaw around 45 minutes after pushing off from the mainland at Cape Jervis.
