Whether you want to build your own person retreat or a tourist destination BnB, or simply buy in to the land bank you can enjoy the blissful isolation of Australia's natural beauty on Wedge Island.

The island, due to its location at the entrance to Spencer Gulf, played host to an Royal Australian Air Force base during World War II. The island is also home to many native animals and wildlife, including seals, rock wallabies and the hairy nosed wombat. A seal colony basks on the rocks at one end of the beach and penguins nestle in the caves and crevices at the other. Rock wallabies can be found on the cliffs, while ospreys hover in the sky overhead. Emus live in the grassland and everywhere there are signs of the hairy nosed wombat and bettong.
Wedge Island is situated only 165kms west of Adelaide, 38kms north west of West Cape on Yorke Peninsula and 30kms south east of Thistle Island, in the Gambier group of Islands in the Spencer Gulf.
