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 © SATC Photography 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. © SATC Photography 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? © SATC Photography Port Lincoln Port Pirie Barossa Valley Peterborough Clare Valley Renmark ADELAIDE Mannum Kingston South East Mount Gambier Edithburgh Hahndorf McLaren Vale Victor Harbor KANGAROO ISLAND Pound Whyalla Elliston Port Augusta Streaky Bay INDIAN OCEAN Wilpena Ceduna Lake Frome Great Australian Bight Lake Torrens Yalata Penong Woomera Lake Gairdner Andamooka NULLARBOR PLAIN Adelaide Coober Pedy Innamincka Lake Eyre (North) William Creek Lake Eyre (South) Marree Oodnadatta SOUTH AUSTRALIA Distances are approximate, in kilometres and based on direct routes.
