Destination overview

If you like beautiful beaches, award-winning wine, colonial beauty, events and long sunny days, you will love South Australia.

The state is famous for its extreme and rugged wilderness including the fiery red dunes of the Simpson Desert, the 100km long Bunda Cliffs and the arid Nullarbor Plain.

With 18 wine regions to choose from, the wine lovers are truly spoilt for choice. The most famous, the Barossa Valley is home to some of Australia’s best drops. Its fertile soils, mild summers and wet winters produce some of the best Shiraz and Cabernet you can get your hands on.

The coastal capital city of Adelaide is abuzz with activity all year round, hosting a number of major events from music to food and everything in between. Visit the Adelaide Zoo, choose from more than 700 bars and restaurants, have a round of golf or take a tour through the Adelaide Gaol.
