여행 팁
교통편
Petrol stations
There are only 2 petrol stations and are located at the opposite end of the Island. It’s a good idea to fill up either in Normanville before the ferry ride or in Penneshaw which has 24 hour electronic payment facility. There is a petrol station in Kingscote which is 30 kms from American River.

Ferry ride
If it’s looking a bit windy and choppy, it is worthwhile to take a quell before you embark. Also a good tip to get there early for easier access to drive on.

Pet day care
Jan’s pet care is a wonderful service. Leave your fur babies with Jan who is in Kingscote so you can have a travel day exploring the National parks with Admirals Arch and Remarkable Rocks.
