South Australia (SA)
There is something for everyone in the wonderfully diverse state of South Australia. Whether it be an eco tour of the remote islands and reserves in the south, a relaxing few days taking in the wine and festival culture of Adelaide and surrounds or heading for the deep north of the outback, this state has it all.
The Barossa Valley and wine making is identified as distinctly South Australian. From the great Southern ocean and Kangaroo Island to the strange underground opal town of Cooberpedy in the north, South Australia offers the complete spectrum of landscapes, climate and culture that is the true Australian experience.
On Kangaroo Island, put your face into the southern ocean breeze as you gaze out over the naturally sculptured Remarkable Rocks, knowing there is nothing but water between you and Antarctica.
Stay with the locals in charming bed and breakfasts or be pampered in world class accommodation. Enjoy the natural and wholesome cuisine proudly produced by the local island farmers.
Explore the islands wilderness reserves and acquaint yourself with the many species of native animals that thrive on the island due to its isolation: kangaroos, koalas, possums and the shy platypus.
Adelaide
Adelaide's Central Market is vibrant and a good indicator of the city's health and vigour. Located in the city centre, is the largest undercover market in the southern hemisphere. The great cafes and restaurants make it the perfect place to experience a wide variety of food and wine prepared by some of Australia's best chefs.
Adelaide is the festival and arts centre of Australia. With festivals occurring regularly throughout the year in the city parklands or within its historic buildings, the charm and elegance of this laid back city makes a visit pure pleasure.
A short drive north of Adelaide is the famous Barossa Valley wine region with its distinctly Mediterranean feel. There are 15 wine regions with accompanying cellars, gourmet restaurants, markets and quaint home stays contributing a distinct ambience to the touring of Australia's premiere wine producing district.
Every state in Australia offers an outback experience and South Australia is no exception.
In the Flinders Ranges a few hours north of Adelaide the adventurer can explore its centre piece, the Wilpena Pound and then push on north through rugged country, past great salt lakes toward strangest of outback towns, Coober Pedy. Here the local population lives underground in cool and comfortable dug-outs while mining the elusive but beautiful opal gems.
