Kangaroo Island bushfire emergency sees tourist lodges ravaged as firefighters battle 'unstoppable' blaze’

Fire crews in South Australia have spent the night battling an emergency bushfire on Kangaroo Island, which is threatening to engulf most of Australia's third-largest island.

Multiple scrub fires continue to burn across Kangaroo
 Island's western half, such as this one in Cape Torrens.

On Friday night, Kangaroo Island's Ravine fire was described as "virtually unstoppable" and the Country Fire Service (CFS) has issued bushfire warnings for the entire 4,400-square-kilometre island. 

At 3:00am Saturday, a watch and act warning was issued for the western end of the island, which includes areas west of Parndana such as Flinders Case, Vivonne Bay, Kelly Hill, Western River, Hanson Bay, Gosselands, Middle River and Stokes Bay.
