Australia’s best kept secret, South Australia, known as the ‘festival state’, lays claim to some unexpected facts. 50% of all Australian wine and 80% of premium wine comes from South Australia. The state boasts the finest nature reserve, Kangaroo Island, a ‘zoo with out fences’ an Eyre Peninsula, superb for aquatic experiences. The opal mining town of Coober Pedy is the only underground city in Australia, and William Creek is the smallest Australian town on the world’s largest working cattle station. You’ll also find some of Australia’s most diverse wildlife and be amazed by the planet’s oldest landscapes, all easily accessible from the elegant and graceful gateway city of Adelaide.

Southern South Australia has a Mediterranean climate, with mild winters( Jun-Aug) and warm, dry summers (Dec-Mar). Very hot conditions can be experienced during summer in the northern/outback parts of the state, where the days can be extremely hot but the desert nights chilly.
