Commence touring of Kangaroo Island, heading first to Cape Willoughby and Cape Saint Albans for our first shoot.

Travel via the American River Aquatic Reserve, Pelican Lagoon Conservation Park and Duck Lagoon at Cygnet River for some beautiful birdlife shots. Keep your eyes in the treetops in case of any local Koalas.  You may observe the birdlife on the Lagoon from the shelter of the bird hide. You can investigate old relics from the past, or just wander on the scenic walking trail which takes you along the banks of the Lagoon and the Cygnet River.

Cygnet River is the longest river of KI that flows into a delta before the sea into Nepean Bay.

Sunset this evening, being just before the equinox, is 7.30pm, so we can make the most of the extra daylight and into golden hour.

Enjoy a picnic dinner we’ve prepared earlier, at Duck Lagoon.
