Located on Kangaroo Island, of the the 3 biggest islands in the country, American River is also historically an address of one of the first cities of settlement. The small airport located in the city ties the city to both Australia and the rest of the world with direct and connective flights.
Especially during summer months, flooding with tourists who want a beach and sun vacation, there are facilites for all types of preferences. In places to be seen in and around the city, the one that stands out the most is the house made by Nils Ryberj who moved here from Europe. This place was once so famous that it almost became one of the most important symbols of the island. If you plan to come here during summer months, be sure to pack clothing to protect you from the sun and heat.
