 South Australia
South Australia is in the unique position of bordering all the country’s mainland states. The fourth largest state (including the Northern Territory) and the driest in Australia, SA has a predominantly flat, low-lying terrain consisting of large tracts of desert, broken by the Flinders and Musgrave Ranges, and gigantic saline lakes. In contrast to the arid lands of the north and west are the gulf lands, which include the Eyre, Yorke and Fleurieu peninsulas, fringed by quiet beaches and fishing towns; the rolling hills of the Mount Lofty Ranges; and the dry south-east plains watered by the Murray River.
Many of the state’s varied attractions are within a three-hour radius of its capital, Adelaide. There are many reasons to visit South Australia, including spectacular scenery, fishing, fauna, and national parks; however, wine and food touring are often at the top of the list. South Australia’s wineries are legendary: the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley and Coonawarra are sought out by many visitors. While the outback is quite isolated, it still has much to offer including the opal fields of Coober Pedy and Andamooka, and lake Eyre, Australia’s largest lake.
