Cape Torrens

About Cape Torrens

This 1,108-hectare wilderness on Kangaroo Island's northwest coast protects pristine coastal ridge vegetation and scenic cliffs typical of the northern coastline. Originally dedicated in 1971, the area retains virtually undisturbed native forest and woodland of exceptional biological integrity. The coastal complex of Acacia and eucalypt scrubland provides critical habitat for the endangered glossy black cockatoo. With no internal tracks and minimal modern intervention, this represents true wilderness on Kangaroo Island.
