Naturally, kangaroos have their place in the habitat here, but so do long-nosed fur seals, platypus and koalas, among many more resident species. Then there&#8217;s the food, another of the island&#8217;s great draws with an extraordinary wealth of locally grown and sourced produce.

Testament to this is the island&#8217;s name, which was adopted in 1800 by Captain Matthew Flinders due to the land&#8217;s abundance of roaming kangaroos. These kangaroos are still here to this day, along with the world&#8217;s third largest colony of long-nosed fur seals at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.environment.sa.gov.au\/sealbay\/home\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Seal Bay Conservation Park<\/a>, which \u2013 alongside a colony of Australian sea lions \u2013 bask on the white sand shores.

Within the park, over 7,000 fur seals breed around Cape du Couedic alone; wallabies and kangaroos can be seen along the park&#8217;s trails, with koalas hidden in the eucalyptus trees; and platypus can be spotted basking in the park&#8217;s waterholes.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s also the island&#8217;s isolation and the islanders&#8217; reverence for their natural environment that affords Kangaroo Island its wealth of local produce. Continuing the legacy of many previous generations, islanders grow produce on the verdant land, fish in the surrounding waters and produce small-batch artisanal food and wine. In the island&#8217;s laidback hubs, such as the small town of Penneshaw, people tuck into freshly caught lobster, oysters that have been foraged from the seabed, sheep&#8217;s cheese made by local farmers, and the island&#8217;s own honey, washed down with wine from the vineyards dotted along Fleurieu Peninsula.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-6571\" src=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/\/2016\/07\/RemarkableRock_KangarooIsland_iStock_swissmediavision_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg\" alt=\"Things to do on Kangaroo Island\" width=\"750\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RemarkableRock_KangarooIsland_iStock_swissmediavision_www.istockphoto-1024x682.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RemarkableRock_KangarooIsland_iStock_swissmediavision_www.istockphoto-1536x1023.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RemarkableRock_KangarooIsland_iStock_swissmediavision_www.istockphoto-330x220.jpg 330w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RemarkableRock_KangarooIsland_iStock_swissmediavision_www.istockphoto-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RemarkableRock_KangarooIsland_iStock_swissmediavision_www.istockphoto-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/www.trafalgar.com\/real-word\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/RemarkableRock_KangarooIsland_iStock_swissmediavision_www.istockphoto.jpg 1698w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>One of Kangaroo Island&#8217;s great culinary prides is marron (freshwater crayfish), which are best eaten at their source, <a href=\"http:\/\/andermel.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Andermel Marron<\/a> farm.
