South
Australia
South
Australia offers friendly locals, superb wines, abundant wildlife,
and large tracts of Outback. Join us for an "authentic"
Australian experience.
Adelaide
Nestled between the sea and the Adelaide Hills, this
South Australian capital is a graceful city of wide streets,
elegant buildings and lush parklands. Cultural and epicurean
pursuits are high on the agenda and its mild Mediterranean
climate encourages outdoor activities.
 Art
and culture
Adelaide has a well-deserved reputation for its
art and culture; enhanced by the Adelaide Festival and bi-annual
Adelaide Fringe Festival.
An
epicurean treat
Adelaide is heaven for chefs who take full advantage
of the area's fresh seafood produce and award-winning wines.
The city's Central Market – Australia 's largest- is a gourmet
treat crammed with cheeses from Kangaroo Island, sausages,
seafood, olive oils and wines from the nearby Barossa.
 Wine
Country
With more than 300 wineries and 200 cellar doors in
17 wine regions, most roads in South Australia lead to wine
country. Small family-run boutique wineries sit alongside
major national companies in the state's major wine producing
regions of Riverland, Barossa, Clare Valley, Coonawarra, McLaren
Vale and the Adelaide Hills. Most regions are conveniently
located within a 90 minute drive from Adelaide .
Flinders
Rangers and the Outback
From the deep red gorges and
richly vegetated hills of the southern Flinders Rangers to
the starkly beautiful deserts and dazzling salt lakes of the
north, this is adventure country. Tiny towns, outback pubs
and Aboriginal history compete with dramatic colours and wildlife
for your attention.
 Opal
mining magic - Find your own or buy the world's most beautiful
opals at Coober Pedy, Australia 's unique "underground"
town. Join the miners who shop, eat, sleep and pray underground
all to escape the hot desert temperatures.
Outback
pubs and hotels- Stopping for a chat at one of the Outback
hotels or pubs is a must!
Adventure
Activities
Dive
the wrecks and with great whites
Ranging from sinkholes to cage dives, South
Australia is scuba diving paradise. For the best wreck diving,
try the shores of Kangaroo Island. The South East's Piccaninie
Ponds are great. And don't miss diving with the Great Whites
at Port Lincoln on the Eyre Peninsula.
The
air up there
With so much contrasting scenery, see the best of
South Australia from the air. Hot air balloon over the Barossa,
glide over the Murray River, or go for the ultimate adrenalin
rush with a tandem sky dive north of Adelaide.
