Experience South Australia
Our favourite things to see and do
Adelaide Central Market – Buzzing with life and colour
all year round this is a great place to wander sampling the
freshest of local ingredients. There’s a huge range of food on
offer, all under one roof and surrounded by some great cafés.
The market is open Tuesday – Saturday.
Kangaroo Island – One of the best places in Australia to see

native animals in the wild. You may find kangaroos, koalas,
platypus and sea lions. It has pristine beaches, dramatic
coastal scenery and fresh seafood, and is a 30 minute flight or
2 hours drive and a short ferry ride south of Adelaide.
Beaches – Glenelg, Henley and Semaphore are some of the
most popular. Catch the tram from the city to historic Glenelg
(our favourite) just 12km from the city centre, or if you don’t
mind travelling a bit further the beautiful Fleurieu Peninsula
is just 45 minutes from the CBD.

Wine – You can’t come to Adelaide without sampling the
superb wine. There are household names like Penfolds, Wolf
Blass and Jacob’s Creek plus countless boutique estates.
There’s the Barossa, Adelaide Hills and McLaren Vale all just
an easy drive away, then Coonawarra 4 hours drive south.
Hahndorf – With its rich German history and buildings
dating back to the 1800s. Spend the day exploring art and
craft stores, German bakeries, cheese cellars and cellar doors.
Sea Life Encounters – Swimming with sea lions may
sound a tad scary, but what an experience. Getting up close
and personal to these puppies of the sea on the Eyre Peninsula
is an experience you’ll never forget. If you are looking for a
thrill, then why not cage dive with the great white sharks at
Neptune Island. See these majestic predators up close, a little
too close for comfort perhaps?
