South Australia Overview

South Australia is a state renowned for its abundance of
Wildlife, Outback and Wine easily accessed from the gateway of Adelaide. A city
of natural beauty and simple elegance, Adelaide, appeals to many North American
visitors because of its relaxed cosmopolitan lifestyle. Since the city of
Adelaide is laid out in a grid pattern, tourists can easily navigate their way
to recreational parks, historical sites, fine dining areas and outstanding
museums. A vacation to Australia is not complete without a trip to Kangaroo
Island, otherwise known as Australia’s Galapagos. The Island is regarded by
many to be the best location in Australia to see the broadest array of native
Australian wildlife in their natural environment. South Australia is synonymous
with great wine. The famous Barossa, only a short distance from Adelaide, is
home to over 80 wineries offering cellar door tasting. The Adelaide Hills,
McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and the Coonawarra also offer world class premium
wine touring. For those wanting to venture into the outback, explore
underground homes in Coober Pedy, the world’s opal mining capital, or hike one
of the many awe-inspiring peaks found along the mystical Flinders Ranges.
