South Australia Places to Visit
Adelaide

The Barossa Valley South Australia offers great wining and dining! Only an hour drive north east from Adelaide, one could easily spend a number of days exploring what Barossa Valley has to offer:
Eyre Peninsula has some of the most beautiful and accessible coastal scenery of the state. Crystal clear lagoons with white sandy beaches backed by huge sand dunes:
Fleurieu Peninsula, to the south east of Adelaide is a favourite with Australians. With its many wineries, beautiful rugged coastline and pounding surf. See more:

There are wonderful national parks and state reserves in the state of South Australia, in fact, over 300 that you can visit. Wildlife and plant life are protected here, as are the unique and special landscapes:
Take an idyllic river cruise on a paddle steamer, explore the Flinders Ranges, take a wilderness tour. Take the ferry to Kangaroo island with its strange rock formations, wine taste your way across the myriad of wineries in Coonawarra, Barossa Valley, Clare Valley, McLaren Vale and the Limestone Coast.
