 Welcome to Kangaroo Island, our home, a place that's pretty unique. Our secluded location helps keep our industries and our natural environment free of disease. We protect our island as if our future depends on it because it does. Kangaroo Island is known for its disease-free soils. Together our growers produce about 16% of Australia's sea potatoes. The island is also home to the purest strain of the Ligurian bee left in the world. Not bringing honey products to Kangaroo Island will help us protect the unique Ligurian bee. Kangaroo Island's natural environment has had a tough time over the last few years. Now more than ever, it's important to protect it from plant pests. Pest animal species also threaten the island's native wildlife, like our beautiful K.I. Kidner. Marine pests don't just threaten our biodiversity, but also our fishing, agriculture and tourism, which are all lifelines for our locals. If you have any items you are unsure about, put them into the amnesty bins at the ferry terminal or at the airport. Remember our team work really hard to keep Kangaroo Island free of disease by conducting random biosecurity checks. Help us to protect our island home. Our best defence against biosecurity threats is you.
