Dive with Great White Sharks off the Eyre Peninsula or explore the systems of caves and sinkholes of the Limestone Coast. Fossick for precious fiery opals at Coober Pedy, ride on an ancient steam train, go jet boating and explore the coastal wetlands.

Enjoy miles of uncrowded beaches, dramatic limestone cliffs, rocky islands and secret coves. Cycle through the Barossa, or cruise the mighty Murray. See giant whales and sea lions, swim with friendly dolphins, and watch the penguin’s parade as they return to their sandy burrows at dusk. 

Venture into the outback and experience the sense of wonder that struck Australia’s early explorers 200 years ago. Learn about the indigenous people of this fascinating country, and their beliefs about the interaction between all of the aspects of the environment, spirituality, and culture and how they are indivisibly entwined. See the majestic Flinders Ranges, and the captivating giant stone amphitheatre at Wilpena Pound.

South Australian’s are dedicated to exceptional food and wine. With resident winemakers Coonawarra, McGuigans, Brown Brothers and McLaren Vale - to name a few, South Australia has a reputation for producing high quality award winning wines.

Adelaide, the state’s capital is renowned as being the festival city, and has all the ingredients for a fabulous family holiday, without all the high priced theme parks that many other states are famous for. Boasting all of the facilities and services that you would expect from a large city, Adelaide does it in its own special way, without losing its unique character.
