SOUTH AUSTRALIA

South Australia, with it's huge semi-desert areas in the far Outback, is the driest out of all of the states and also the most urbanized. It hosts fantastic scenery and bushwalking in the Flinders Ranges, as well as wonderful landscape in the Adelaide Hills. It is possible to watch whales at the Head of Bight along the Great Australian Bight. The wild coast offers plenty for the tourist, as well as the relaxing Kangaroo Island.

Adelaide, 'The City of Churches', is the capital of South Australia and is a charming and well laid out city set on the banks of the Torrens River. Adelaide is a good place to explore the wine regions of the nearby Barossa Valley and the city has a justifiable reputation for its fine restaurants and shopping.
