Adelaide

Adelaide

Once considered a sleepy city, Adelaide has undergone a rapid transformation with a burgeoning small-bar scene, world-class art and music, and a festival calendar to rival that of any other Australian city. Discover its laneway secrets, take in the stunning flora at the Adelaide Botanic Gardens, and find delicious treats around every bend.

In the city centre, Adelaide’s laneways and side streets are being transformed with hidden bars and eateries. Along Peel Street enjoy a whisky at Clever Little Tailor or espresso martini at La Moka. Hains & Co is a sailor-themed bar tucked down Gilbert Place, specialising in gin and rum. One of Adelaide’s hottest bars, Proof, can be found on Anster Street, which pairs classic cocktails with tasty share plates and gourmet toasted sandwiches. Underground bar Bank Street Social is the go-to for local craft beer and Australian spirits, while La Buvette Drinkery serves French apéritifs with a side of escargot. Get your caffeine hit at Coffee Branch on Leigh Street, and dine on playful, modern Australian cuisine at Peel St.

Fleurieu Peninsula

Fleurieu Peninsula

See Second Valley and Rapid Bay on a three-day road trip through South Australia’s coastal playground: the Fleurieu Peninsula.

Just over an hour’s drive from Adelaide lies South Australia’s coastal playground, the Fleurieu Peninsula. Here you’ll find some of our very-best beaches, plonked mere minutes away from world-famous restaurants and multi-award-winning wineries. Treat your senses to the ultimate mix of food, wine and coast.

Eyre Peninsula

The Eyre Peninsula is Australia’s major seafood hub. More than 65 per cent of the nation’s seafood comes from these waters, including green-lipped abalone, scallops, prawns, oysters and tuna, which you can enjoy at the region’s many seafood restaurants. It’s also a place of extreme natural beauty, with a multitude of landscapes and outdoor adventure on offer. Swim with dolphins and sea lions, cage dive with great white sharks or take an intimate whale watching tour.

Flinders Ranges

The Flinders Ranges

Driving through the Flinders Ranges and Outback, you’d be forgiven for thinking you were navigating the unexplored face of Mars. Towering ancient cliffs and deep craters border dusty red roads. Take an aerial tour of Kati Thanda–Lake Eyre or drive along the Aboriginal Dreaming Trail. Marvel at Wilpena Pound, a shockingly large amphitheatre, created through erosion over millions of years, or look up at night for a sky show like never before. Be surrounded by ancient mountain ranges, spectacular gorges and sheltered creeks only five hours drive from Adelaide or a short plane trip with Rex to Port Augusta, Coober Pedy or Wilpena Pound.

Rediscover the Flinders Ranges and Outback for yourself.
