Adelaide kicks well and truly above its weight when it comes to food and dining out experiences, for some reason they know how to cook great there with lovely fresh foods and meats and seafood, and for the price its wonderful, HP you are bang on 10/10 post. Even average pubs that you drive past do some great meals...
 
Things to Do
So many choices
Get a taste of things at the Adelaide Central Market, Coopers Brewery and Bottega Rotolo cooking school. Indulge in Haigh's Chocolates. Cruise on the Popeye riverboat through the heart of the city of Adelaide - voted Australia's most liveable city.

Attend an event - there are so many throughout the year in both the city of Adelaide and in the regions. The Santos Tour Down Under is in January. The Adelaide Fringe festival, WOMADelaide and Clipsal 500 V8 supercar race are in March. Watch cricket and AFL at the newly redeveloped Adelaide Oval.

Visit the giant pandas at Adelaide Zoo. Their names are Wang Wang (male) and Funi (female), the only giant pandas in the southern hemisphere. You can even take a behind the scenes tour and help prepare their bamboo breakfast.

Head for the hills
Take a day trip to Hahndorf, one of the most famous towns in the Adelaide Hills. It’s Australia’s oldest surviving settlement and has a strong German heritage. Stop at nearby Cleland Wildlife Park to feed kangaroos and hold a koala.

Visit one of the many cellar doors in the region and enjoy a long lunch. Take your tastebuds on a ride with a wine and chocolate tasting experience like no other.

Hit the beach
Relax on a beautiful beach. Catch a tram from Adelaide to Glenelg for some fun in the sun. Enjoy al fresco dining on Jetty Road or Holdfast Marina.

Drive down to Adelaide's southern beaches and dive along the Port Noarlunga reef. Watch the sun set from the amazing Star of Greece restaurant at Port Willunga.

Visit our National Landscapes
Admire nature on Kangaroo Island. Visit Remarkable Rocks and Admirals Arch – these rock formations are incredible! See native animals thriving in the wild, like seals at Seal Bay. Explore stunning beaches and desert dunes.

Head down the coast
Stop by the seaside town of Victor Harbor on the Fleurieu Peninsula. Cross the causeway on a horse-drawn tram and see little penguins on Granite Island. Visit the South Australian Whale Centre or board the Cockle Train for a steam train ride.

Holiday on the Murray River, an Australian icon. Hire a houseboat in the Riverland and see the water up close. Drop a line and go fishing.

Eyre Peninsula
Just a little bit scary but a whole lot of fun
From coming face-to-face with the ocean’s most feared predator (in the safety of a shark cage of course) to stuffing your face with a one-kilogram king oyster or swimming with sea lions, the Eyre Peninsula is frontier territory that surprises and delights.

It’s a little bit scary but a whole lot of fun.

Find the magic in something a little bit scary on the Eyre Peninsula.

Explore the wonders that lie beneath the sea - swim with sea lions or cage-dive with great white sharks. Explore long stretches of pristine beaches or densely forested national parks. Teach the kids to fish and surf. Feast on the freshest seafood.
 
Flinders Ranges and Outback
An ancient landscape
A trip to the Flinders Ranges is something every South Australian should experience. A few days in this beautifully rugged, 540 million-year-old landscape will stay with you forever and change the way you look at the world.

Find the magic, and some perspective, in the Flinders Ranges.

Boy_exploring_the_Flinders_Ranges.jpg

The land is a country of thick, gnarled gum trees, growing alongside stony creeks. There are ruins of farms left by pioneers, beaten back by the harsh landscape. The Flinders Ranges is a ancient and unique part of the world.

Wonder of Wilpena
The story of why Wilpena Pound exists as it does today is fascinating and provides a sense of just how old the exposed earth is. Millions of years of erosion has created the natural ampitheatre, surrounded by ancient mountain ranges.

The landscape is summed up perfectly in this quote by Hans Heysen: “the bones of the earth laid bare”. It provides insight through exposure - layers, colours, vastness - an almost intimidating reminder that we are only on this earth for a short time.

A visit to the Flinders should be a ‘rite of passage’ for all.

Outback South Australia
It is where you’ll find Australians who live hundreds of kilometres from their nearest neighbour. They wait for the twice-weekly delivery of mail and goods from the outside world, brought by a postman and the few lucky tourists accompanying them.

There are magnificent mountains, glowing red in the sunset, with caps of lichen covered rocks and razored edges. Feel part of nature with emus and kangaroos passing by your campsite. Experience the peace and darkness at night in the bush.

Desert eyes
Wedge-tailed eagles soar above the horizon as you tackle the deep, red sand and spinifex of the Simpson Desert or Strzelecki Track. The eyes of the desert lizards will watch, as you stop to see the beauty of Lake Eyre in flood. Feel the burr of the cattle grids under the wheels of your car and mark your journey across this wilderness.

Waterholes and narrow gorges of red rock hide yellow-footed rock wallabies and tiny Lake Eyre dragons. Walk, explore and watch. Listen to Dreamtime stories under the shade of gumtrees.

A world far removed
It’s vast, ancient and seemingly empty. It is full of adventures and a world far removed from any modern city. There’s the strange beauty of the giant, natural amphitheatre, Wilpena Pound and the siren call of the opal fields.

It’s like stepping into a different world.
