South Australia, with it's huge semi-desert areas in the far Outback,
is the driest out of all of the states and also the most urbanised.
Adelaide, the capital, has been called 'the city of churches'.Although the
churches are still in Adelaide, times are different now. The main spirit of the
city is demonstrated through Adelaide's Festival of Arts. It has a liberal
attitude and Maslin Beach was the first nudist beach.
It also hosts fantastic scenery and bushwalking in the Flinders Ranges, as
well as wonderful landscape in the Adelaide Hills. It is possible to watch
whales at the Head of Bight along the Great Australian Bight. The wild coast
offers plenty for the tourist, as well as the relaxing Kangaroo Island.
Unforgettable holiday experiences come easy in South Australia. In spring
it's hiking among wild flowers in the Flinders Ranges and Outback, or sampling
fine wine and food al fresco at restaurants and cellar doors across 15 wine
regions. It's catching the year's first crabs on the coast or hiring a houseboat
to relax in the sunshine.
Across the Nullabor Desert to the west, the stark treeless landscape
contrasts with the spectacular coastline only a few kilometres to the south
where the Southern Ocean crashes onto the coast, creating diverse patterns in
the rock face and sheltering the whales which come each season to breed in the
spacious waters.
The Fleurieu Peninsula and Barossa Valley are renownd wine producing areas
with interesting little towns and villages each offering its unique atmosphere
and lifestyle to the visitor. Victor Harbor has recently become a significant
whale watching centre as these norw protected giants return in larger numbers to
their traditional breeding grounds.
Kangaroo island off the Peninsula, is now one of the most famed destinations for
visitors to the state and offers pectacular scenery and unique wildlife
experiences.
