Welcome to Adelaide, South Australia's capital city.  You will be met at the airport and transferred to your accommodation.

Cosmopolitan Adelaide brims with culture, flavours, events and entertainment. From spacious boulevards to vibrant suburbs, sophisticated architecture to lush gardens, the city has it all.

Adelaide's reputation as a foodie destination is well deserved. Famed for culinary creativity and outstanding produce, there is something here for every palate.

Adelaide is the Festival Capital of Australia - from comedy and cabaret to food and fashion, there's always something on no matter when you visit.

"Crossroads of Australia" and Gateway to the Flinders Ranges - Port Augusta is situated on the quiet waterways at the head of the Spencer Gulf, in close proximity to the spectacular Flinders Ranges. Off to the west and south-west lie a range of hills which once marked the territory of the Nukunu Aboriginal tribe, and to the north-west are two remarkable flat-topped mounts, peacefully lying underneath the sky's vast blue canopy. Port Augusta offers all the conveniences and facilities expected from a modern city.
