looking for adrenaline pumping adventure,
pristine beaches, the best food and wine
around and amazing festivals and events that
bring a city to life? then south australia
is just the place.
Apart from some amazing wines and beautiful beaches
where the only footprints will be your own, you’ll find
the Outback town of Coober Pedy where residents live
underground, a lake that changes colour to bright blue
in summer, an island that’s considered one of the world’s great
wilderness destinations… the list goes on and on. You’re going
to have to try it all for yourself to get a true taste for what
adventures lie in every corner of the state.
Between white sandy beaches and forested hills lies Adelaide,
the capital of South Australia. It’s a place of hidden treasures
with a friendly and relaxed atmosphere – it’s also a spot that
knows how to have fun. The festivals and events, bustling
restaurant strips and laneways packed with small bars are
certainly proof of that. It is the perfect place to start any
South Australian backpacking adventure.
