King Island Accommodation Wildlife

Posted by Bob Dalton | No Tags | Uncategorized | No Comments on King Island Accommodation Wildlife

The wildlife on King Island is just amazing.

There are about 700,000 wallabies, not to mention an abundance of other fauna on an island that’s only 65kms long x 25 kms wide.

We recently had guests stay here from Canada, they were totally amazed at the abundant wildlife on King Island; yet we would have thought that a wild and rugged country like Canada would have more to show than us – Blessed we are!
