South Australia

Wildlife and wine are top of the list on a visit to South Australia, but the state also offers rugged outback landscape, the pristine Kangaroo Island and stunning coastal marine parks.

Many visitors don’t give South Australia the time it deserves. There is so much to see, eat and do here you could easily spend several months checking it all out.

Hopefully, our South Australia road trip guide and articles on things we have done when visiting inspire you to head there soon.
