South Australia

South Australia is the driest state of Australia. A lot of travellers just pass through South Australia pretty quickly to get to the outback, the Red Center of Australia or to Perth via the Nullabor Ranges. But there are lots of things to be seen and discovered in South Australia.
South Australia is renowned for its annual festivals, its famous wine regions and the spectacular Flinders Ranges. By the way the most renowned wines of Australia are produced in this territory and a lot of wines are coming from the Barossa Valley, a region north of Adelaide.

The northern part of South Australia is dry, dusty and very hot in the summer months. Here you can find lots of dried up salt lakes. The people who settled down in these regions have adapted to the conditions and some of them live underground. Not to be missed for an underground living experience is the opal mining town Coober Pedy.
In the south of the territory wine growing is flourishing and flower farms as well as fruit and vegetable farms have been established in this region.

You should not miss Kangaroo Island, about 16km south of the mainland. Kangaroo Island is the third biggest island of Australia and got a wildlife habitat with lots of native animals. Here they can live (almost) undisturbed.
