South Australia is bordered by the Indian Ocean and every other mainland territory, offering it a unique ability to deliver a memorable holiday. You can explore your inner sailor just off the shores of Adelaide, or head north to some of the most arid terrain on the continent. Some of the best wine on the planet originates in SA, at least if you ask a local or wine aficionado. In fact, more than 200 cellars make their home in South Australia, and you’re bound to be invited to pair your favourite bottle with a fine local cheese.
When to Visit
The climate in South Australia is Mediterranean, so it’s hard to find a bad time to visit! Coastal towns are packed in the summer, when the temperature is about 28 degrees C. If you’re not afraid of some arid heat, you can trek the outback Outback from December to February, when the temperature can reach the high 30s. For great rates on resorts in South Australia, take your holiday in spring or autumn. Average temperatures are still in the mid-20s, and you may face less competition in all attraction queues.
What to See and Do
Culture addicts and outdoor adventurers alike can find tons to do in South Australia. In Adelaide, the central market, botanic gardens, zoo, and more can keep you busy for days. Meanwhile, a trip to Barossa Valley introduces your palate to great wine. While you’re in town, take time to appreciate the Gothic architecture and German-inspired food. To the east, Flinders Ranges is an ancient mountain range peppered in rich colours and hiking trails. With so much to see, car rentals in South Australia are an excellent way to pack your holiday itinerary full.
