Welcome to South Australia
Wine and Wilderness
South Australia is the country's wine heartland and the jumping-off point for some of its wildest country. Adelaide is ringed by the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, the Adelaide Hills, and the Fleurieu Peninsula. Beyond them lie Kangaroo Island's wildlife sanctuaries, the Flinders Ranges, and the arid heart of the Outback.
