About Cape Bouguer

Located on Kangaroo Island's south coast, this wilderness area forms a vital link in a high-biodiversity vegetation corridor and marks the gateway to the most untouched section of the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail. Proclaimed in 1993 to protect outstandingly high wilderness qualities, the area features pristine native vegetation and rugged coastal scenery. Currently closed following the devastating 2019-2020 bushfires, the park is undergoing natural recovery while protecting sensitive post-fire ecosystems.
