You step off the coach into a salty wind that seems to push your thoughts seaward; the ferry horn fades and Kangaroo Island unfolds — low granite outcrops, scrubby mallee, and beaches that look like they were left for you to discover. The itinerary moves from Adelaide’s river-lined terraces and Barossa vineyards to the island’s wind-sculpted coast: Frenchman’s Rock, Cape Willoughby’s classic lighthouse and the granite forms of Remarkable Rocks.
