Kingscote

Few cities in South Australia have a history as closely tied to the colony’s first European settlement as Kingscote. Founded in 1836 by the South Australian Company, it began at Reeves Point on Kangaroo Island and was briefly intended as the centre of the new colony before Adelaide was selected. The town stands on Nepean Bay and serves as Kangaroo Island’s main service centre, with the coast and the island’s wildlife areas close at hand. Reeves Point’s heritage precinct recalls the settlement’s earliest years, while Kingscote’s foreshore looks across the sheltered bay.
