If you have never been to South Australia for a holiday, it's time that you did. Some of the attractions on display here rank with the best that Australia has to offer. The state has a temperate climate and scenery that ranges from pure desert through fertile agricultural country to wild and windswept coastal regions. The scenery changes so much from region to region that it is like visiting a number of different countries. The capital is Adelaide and this is one of Australia's most cosmopolitan cities. It has a busy domestic airport with regular flights from all other Australian capitals. It is a superb place to have a campervan or motorhome holiday and the choices for organized tours through South Australia are really tempting. There are plenty of things to do in Adelaide but it is also the jumping off point for the "Ghan" which is the transcontinental passenger train that terminates in Darwin and crosses the country via Alice Springs and has options to tour out to Ayers Rock.
The Barossa Valley is Australia's oldest and most famous wine growing districts. The produce from this region is revered around the world and grange hermitage is consistently voted among the top ten wines in the world. In this district you will find plenty of great retreats and resorts so you can spend a few days exploring all of the cellar doors. The Clare Valley is right next door and it also provides similar options. Kangaroo Island lies off the south coast and this is a must see destination when visiting South Australia. This is a wonderful place to visit and see the unique wild life and flora and fauna. The coastline is spectacular with windswept headlands and beaches and some of the boutique style accommodation and tours are really special.
The Yorke peninsular lies between the Gulf of St Vincent and Spencer Gulf. This is a really special region and one that should not be missed. The Ayre peninsular lies to the west of Spencer Gulf and is home to great fishing ports like Port Lincoln. This is the Tuna fishing capital of Australia and a huge fleet of modern fishing vessels operates from here. If you are a seafood lover, this is a great place to visit.
There are many other must see places in South Australia. The Murray Riverlands (with the town Murray Bridge), Mt Gambier and the Limestone Coast, The Adelaide Hills, Wilpena Pound, Lake Eyre and the opal mining town of Coober Pedy are just a few that spring to mind.
