Tremaine Avenue, Hindmarsh Island SA 5214, Australia

The island enjoys a Mediterranean climate similar to Adelaide, with hot, dry summers and mild, cool winters. This climate supports a range of outdoor activities year‑round.
Visitors often encounter kangaroos in the forest and grassland areas, blue‑tongue lizards beneath pine needles, and Australian white ibises along the coastline. Other common species include purple swamphens, Australian magpies and barn owls.
Yes, the Lawari Conservation Park lies at the island’s eastern end and the Coorong and Lakes Alexandrina and Albert Wetland (a Ramsar site) encompasses the whole island and adjacent waters. The Currency Creek Game Reserve is about 2.1 km away.
