Kangaroo Island is missing something

If you look at this picture, do you also feel like this island is desperately missing something? You are right. Australia's Kangaroo Island is missing over-development.

That might slowly be changing though. A luxury resort is about to open here on March 29 and save those poor koalas, wallabies and kangaroos from their intense loneliness.

Southern Ocean Lodge will offer 21 suites with sunken lounges and outdoor terraces, a spa with treatments based on Aboriginal medicine and spirituality, and a restaurant with a view of Hanson Bay, NY Times reports.

Nightly rates start at 900 Australian dollars a person, about $825. How is that for a religious experience?
