Things to do in South Australia
Exploring the wilderness
The main reason people come to South Australia is to get outdoors, with small group and tailor made trips offering you the chance to drink in big skies and plentiful wildlife. High up on the list are the Flinders Ranges. Some 450km north of state capital Adelaide and over 600 million years old, these reddish brown peaks and escarpments were once higher than the Himalayas and include the incredible natural amphitheatre of Wilpena Pound. The Flinders Ranges were once used by the Adnyamathanha peoples for their red ochre deposits, which they used in medicines and cultural practices, and today, sacred caves, rock paintings and carvings can be found throughout the region. It’s also home to a variety of wildlife; you’ll see emus and wallabies wandering the landscape and wedge-tailed eagles soaring through the skies.A rugged coastal area backed by the Flinders Ranges, the triangular Eyre Peninsula is rich in beauty but low in tourist numbers. While it stretches all the way into the outback, it’s best known for its bays and beach towns, where you’ll be able to sample the local seafood, which includes excellent oysters, tuna and whiting. It’s also one of the world’s best places to encounter marine life. You can choose to join an excursion to swim with sea lions and dolphins, or – if you’re of a more adventurous bent – opt to go cage diving with great white sharks.
Sleeping in the open
Many tours in this region up the ante on the wilderness front by making camping an integral part of your journey. After a busy day exploring the wilds, you’ll bed down in swags, in true Aussie bushman style, and evenings will be spent around the campfire, with stars puncturing the skies above and koalas keeping you company in the surrounding trees. On such trips you’ll either be bush camping with no facilities or staying in simple campsites with basic facilities.Road trips in South Australia
The vast open landscapes of South Australia make it a perfect place for a road trip, whether you’re on a small group tour travelling in an air conditioned minibus or taking the wheel yourself on a self drive holiday. You’ll travel for between anything from three to 15 days and in most cases, you’ll cross state lines, heading west to Perth across the barren Nullabor, for example, driving east along the Great Ocean Road to Melbourne, or heading north to the dramatic monolith of Uluru. You could even combine a self drive trip with a few days spent in Tasmania or divide your time between the roads and the iconic Ghan train.Our top Australia Holiday
