What is happening on Kangaroo Island

Love your local

Eat, drink, shop, spend and stay local

In regional areas the local people know how important it is to stick together through good and bad, to reach out and lend a hand to your neighbour, to support each other and in turn the community. Country people are the first to bake a cake for the trading table, donate to the meat or chook raffle, send hay to farmers in need and run fundraisers for their local sporting clubs. Now we need everyone to support their local businesses and regional communities.

Every time we buy something, no matter how small we breathe life back into our towns. By visiting regional areas and buying local produce, or eating at their cafes and pubs we are giving those small business operators a hand back up.

Our island businesses are really keen to welcome tourists. They have great products and experiences just waiting for you.
