South Australia is the fourth largest state within Australia and the only one to share borders with all each other states (with the obvious exception of the island state of Tasmania).
With a population of 1.5 million people, the state comprises less than 10 per cent of the Australian population and ranks fifth in population among the other states and territories. The majority of its people reside in the state capital, Adelaide, with most of the remainder settled in fertile areas along the south-eastern coast and River Murray.
Spend your time in the states classy and elegant capital where you’ll find stylish architecture, boutique shopping, sandy beaches, nightlife, fine dinning and some of the country’s best café strips. Or venture further and escape to Australia's iconic wine regions (such as Barossa, Coonawarra, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Adelaide Hills and the Riverland) where your tatsebuds will be tantalized. Experience the thrill of swimming with dolphins and sea lions, or be a spectator and watch for whales at the head of the Bight. Just a few hours drive north and you’ll explore the rich red hue of the outback as the sky becomes huge and the land rises up to the ancient peaks of the Flinders Ranges. Or perhaps you prefer to simply recharge on South Australia's awe-inspiring, 649km stretch of the Murray River, enjoy a fishing expeditions in the crisp morning air.

South Australia's Wine Region - Barossa, Clare Valley & McLaren Vale
Straddling the centre of the Australian continent, South Australia is the wine industry’s powerhouse State, producing most of the nation’s wine and boasting some of the oldest individual vines in the world. The venerable old vines found in South Australia’s Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills, through their isolation, survived the great phylloxera plagues that wiped out the vines of North America and Europe, and somewhat later, devastated Australia’s eastern vineyards. Quarantine restrictions were introduced, saving South Australia’s vines from phylloxera, and ensuring the State retained its grape growing status.
