Hike the Kangaroo Island Wilderness Trail

Alexis Buxton-Collins spent his twenties working as a music journalist and beer taster before somehow landing an even dreamier job as a freelance travel writer. Now he travels the world from his base in Adelaide and contributes to publications including Qantas, Escape, The Guardian and Lonely Planet. Alexis has never seen a hill he didn't want to climb and specialises in outdoor adventures (he won the 2022 ASTW award for best nature/wildlife story for a feature on Kangaroo Island). When he's not scouring South Australia for the newest wineries and hikes, he's looking for excuses to get back to spots like Karijini and Ningaloo.

    The trail wasn’t there when we were there in 1998. We flew over and took a boat (ferry, I think) back. Spent 3 days with a guide, staying in a private home (B&B if I remember correctly). The guide spent several days a week painting, and several as a guide. Can’t remember his name, but would love to know if he still lives there. Most fascinating and unique island I’ve ever been. Too old to travel now (90). At least I have my memories and SOOO glad we took the time to see the world.
