South Australia

Renowned for their cruisy atmosphere and laidback lifestyle, the beaches of Yorke Peninsula are great places to go swimming, surfing, fishing or on a family picnic. Innes National Park is an amazing place to visit - serene, yet full of wildlife, with bushland, rugged cliffs and secluded ocean beaches.

The Fleurieu Peninsula is a paradise for divers and snorkellers, with dramatic shipwrecks and stunning marine life, including the famed Leafy Seadragon. And it's alive with vibrant and creative festivals, events and art. If you continue south-east from there you will reach the Limestone Coast -  with picturesque port towns such as Kingston SE, Robe and Beachport, where watersports are the order of the day. Impressive volcanic craters and mountain lakes, such as the Blue Lake at Mount Gambier. And the spectacular caving sites at Naracoorte Caves.

South Australia's section of the beautiful Murray River contains plenty of water for you to enjoy a river holiday, despite current low rainfalls throughout Australia. Set along the shores of the mighty Murray River, the Murraylands is a favourite South Australian aquatic playground.

There's nothing that quite compares to a holiday on a houseboat, cruising up and down the river at your leisure in your own floating hotel.

The Flinders Ranges and Outback provide a dramatic departure from the hectic pace of big cities, but it's surprisingly accessible. And once there, you'll experience things that make home look boring.  If you're in the mood for an exhilarating adventure holiday, then venture into the uplifting Outback.

It's an island seven times the size of Singapore. It's a microcosm of different landscapes and environments, with desert dunes, stunning beaches, forests, farmlands, and native wildlife in the wild.

It's Kangaroo Island - and only a stone's throw away from the coast of South Australia, making it your ideal holiday destination.
