Off the tip of Cape Jervis, South Australia, lies Knagaroo Island.
What tips and hints do you have to share with those that are visiting here?
To get the ball rolling, here's a few of my thoughts:
When should I visit? Anytime, but the warmer weather will enable you to enjoy the beaches and wildlife more. As it is coastal, it's often not quite as hot here as on the mainland.
What can't I bring?No rabbits or honey products.
Will my mobile phone work?

Should I bring my car?
It depends how long you are staying for as the ferry can be quite expensive for a day or so, it may be cheaper to hire one on the island. If bringing a hire car from the mainland, check the exclusions as many will not allow you to travel on unlaced roads, meaning you would miss lots of attractions.
Can I get petrol easily?Yes, but it will be 1.5 times the price as on the mainland so fill up before you come over.

Are there shops and restaurants?
Not a lot, enough for your basic supplies and there's a few restaurants in Penneshaw and kingscote, but it's pretty much self catering in most other places.
The supermarkets are generally more expensive than on the mainland, so it may save some money to bring supplies with you.

Do you need to book accommodation early?Yes, in holiday periods, accommodation can book out easily.
However, we've usually found a campsite for our caravan easily each night without much pre booking.
Can you think of any other tips and ideas to add in here?
