South Australia (overview)
  • Kangaroo Island: the essence of Australia – protected wildlife, dirt roads, sheep farms, stunning beaches and few people.  Buffeted by the waves of the Southern Ocean, KI (Australians love to shorten a name!) boasts one of Australia’s most spectacular coastlines.
  • Clare Valley: this wine region was described by James Halliday as one of Australia’s most beautiful wine producing regions.  The Riesling Trail is a favourite cycling route, linking local towns and passing restaurants, cafés and cellar doors.
  • Arkaba Station at the foot of the Elder Range is possibly the most beautiful outback property in the country and the best place from which to experience the Flinders. Either stay in the homestead or join the Arkaba Walk, swagging out under the stars in style!
  • Gawler Ranges: in our book there really is only one way to visit the Gawler Ranges and that is with our local safari guide, Geoff Scholz.  His patch includes the outback ranges of South Australia as well as the coast of the Great Australian Bight. A safari might include trekking across great salt pans, swimming with sea lions in Baird Bay, traversing giant sand dunes by 4WD and learning the difference between a kangaroo, a wallaroo and a wallaby.
