South Australia

Take a morning dip with dolphins just 20 minutes from your hotel in Adelaide`s city centre. Drink wines loved the world over in Barossa, Coonawarra and the Clare Valley. Journey to the heart of the Outback, just a few hours north of Adelaide, or fly south to Kangaroo Island to get up close and personal with sea lions, kangaroos and koalas. Feast on festivals like the world-renowned Adelaide Bank Festival of Arts, the Adelaide Fringe and WOMADelaide. Adelaide is South Australia`s elegant, easy-living capital, where the people will make you feel at home and you`ll get all the buzz of big city living without big city bills. From here it`s less than an hour to 200-odd cellar doors, the house-boating heaven of the Murray River and the sparkling beaches and cliff-top restaurants of the Fleurieu Peninsula. Hug a koala. Sip a Shiraz. Hike through the hills (or trek the awesome, 1500km Heysen Trail). Or drive a cow in the Outback on the Great Australian Outback Cattle Drive in 2007. Experience it all in South Australia.
