Lisa Grainger for the UK Times Luxx Report discovers the spectacular rebuild of Southern Ocean Lodge and the rejuvenation of the iconic Kangaroo Island after the devastating bushfires in 2020. Constructed using environmentally friendly materials such as fire-retardant local stone, steel, double-glazed glass, and concrete, Southern Ocean Lodge relies predominantly on solar power. The lodge also harvests rainwater for both consumption and fire protection, and features a garden adorned with fire-retardant native plants.
“The highlights are still the same — and as spectacular as ever. I spend every hour I can soaking in the wild, end-of-the-earth atmosphere. At dawn I walk for hours: on cliffside paths, where osprey chicks flap on a rocktop nest and wedge-tailed eagles dive for fish; beside rock pools in which anemones are buffeted by waves and sandstone whipped into fairytale-like turrets.”
