Today a private guide and vehicle collect you from Southern Ocean Lodge for a full day exploring the western wilderness of Kangaroo Island. Venturing into Flinders Chase National Park the rugged coastal landscapes unfold across dramatic lookouts and remote shorelines where kangaroos and wallabies move freely through heathland and woodland.
En route back to the lodge the day takes on deeper meaning with a rare behind-the-scenes conservation encounter with ecologist Heidi Groffen from Land for Wildlife. Meeting at one of her active research sites a guided walk into the bush reveals how private landholders across the island are working to protect and restore critical habitat in the wake of devastating fires.
Heidi shares insight into monitoring programs focused on endangered species including the Kangaroo Island dunnart and pygmy possums and you have the opportunity to view trail-camera footage revealing wildlife currently active in the area. A genuinely moving and thought-provoking conclusion to an extraordinary day in the wild.
