Adelaide & South Australia

Stylish and vibrant, Adelaide is close to the outback, Australia’s most famous vineyards and amazing Kangaroo Island.

Two of the world’s greatest rail journeys converge here – The legendary Ghan and Indian Pacific. Stop for some retail therapy in this cosmopolitan city, which is surrounded by parklands. Stroll along the North Terrace boulevard and visit the many art galleries and museums. Explore more than 700 restaurants, cafés and pubs. The city has more restaurants per person than any other city in Australia. The Adelaide Hills and metropolitan beaches are just 20 minutes drive from downtown and are also hubs of great cafés and restaurants.

To get the most out of your time in South Australia spend some time in the city before heading out to the country regions. The Barossa, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale and are all just a short drive from Adelaide

South Australia is the wine and seafood capital of Australia, where the Murray River meets the sea and the gateway to Outback South Australia. The Flinders Ranges are unique and spectacular.

Kangaroo Island (“KI” to the locals) is a short flight from Adelaide or a ferry ride from Cape Jervis. You won’t find wildlife and wilderness to rival what you’ll discover on KI anywhere else in Australia. Wildlife surrounds Kangaroo Island. The ocean is teeming with fish, sea lions and little penguin colonies. Stand on the shore in the cooler months and watch migrating southern right whales and their calves. This place is like a zoo without fences, with rare bird life, tammar wallabies, short-beaked echidnas and plenty of kangaroos and koalas.

Being in South Australia, the food & wine here is pretty good too.!
