Other things to note:
As for all buildings in American River, our house water supply is solely from its own roof catchment into the tanks beside the house.
PLEASE USE WATER SPARINGLY by:
- having short showers or small baths
- put plug in sink to wash dishes rather than running water over dishes under the tap
- only start the dishwasher when it's full
- only wash full loads of clothes in the washing machine
- don't leave taps dripping.
Be mindful of your electricity use and turn off all appliances when you go out, including lights, heaters, air conditioner, exhaust fan, clothes dryer, stove, oven, television, bathroom heat lights and fans etc.
Things to do in American River:
Take a 5 minute walk down cement steps from beside our house, to the foreshore. The wharf is a further 10 minute walk where there is good fishing from the wharf and a boat ramp alongside.
See the resident seals lazing on the side of the wharf. You’ll also see pelicans, seagulls, cormorants, herons and other water birds.
There's a children's playground and tennis courts near the wharf also.
There are several good eating places in American River including:
The Glossy Black Restaurant
Wanderers Rest
Reflections Restaurant at the Mercure Hotel
The Oyster Farm Shop
The Deck Café
The General Store sells basic groceries, coffees and hot pies etc.
You can also buy fishing bait and bags of firewood at the General Store.
The bigger supermarkets are in Kingscote (the main town on KI) and Penneshaw.
The American River Art & Crafts Centre on the esplanade is well worth a visit also.
You need a car when visiting Kangaroo Island as there is no public transport.
