Further to Pierrette's message about the bus and ferry service, the web site is: http://www.sealink.com.au/ferry.html

It contains all the timetable and price info. I am sure it would make more sense to hire a car on the Island and not pay to transport it across, unless you wanted to explore around Adelaide by car beforehand. The Fleurieu peninsula and the Adelaide hills are very pretty.

We travelled by ferry from Cape Jervis to the Island. it was very comfortable. We stayed the night before at a nice B& B - Cape Jervis station. The children enjoyed looking at the farm. We had a good home cooked meal there. Two links: http://www.capejervisstation.com.au/ http://www.farmstaysa.com.au/farms/capejervis.htm
