'australian tourist destination' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't tell whether this works.

'savage koalas adorning' is the wordplay.
'savage' indicates anagramming the letters (to savage can mean to attack or destroy).
'koalas'+'adorning'='koalasadorning'
'koalasadorning' with letters rearranged gives 'KANGAROO ISLAND'.
