The surf picked up, but so did the wind as competitors went to battle in the 2 - 3 foot (1 meter) blustery waves at Vivonne Bay, Kangaroo Island. |
Pure Ligurian HoneyKangaroo Island is home to the only known pure strain of Ligurian bee in the world. The bees descended from the Italian province of Liguria, imported in twelve hives in the 1880s and protected from other breeds of bee by the island's isolation. The honey produced is of outstanding quality and no trip to Kangaroo Island is complete without sampling it. At both the Island Beehive and Cliffords Honey Farm you can taste the honey and learn more about the Ligurian bee. |
Island IndulgenceTake your tastebuds on tour through the island's growing range of gourmet produce - from award-winning sheep milk cheeses at the Island Pure Sheep Dairy to pure Ligurian honey, freshwater marron and olive oil. Taste the boutique wines of this young wine region at one of our spectacular cellar doors, before tucking into the finest local produce at one of many great restaurants and cafes. |
