NATIONAL PARKS<br />
There is something for everyone to enjoy in one of over 350<br />
National Parks <strong>and</strong> Reserves in South Australia. To start your<br />
South Australian parks adventure, here are our favourites to<br />
add to your bucket list.<br />
Ikara-Flinders Ranges National Park<br />
Known as Ikara to the Adnyamathanha people, this ancient <strong>and</strong><br />
rugged l<strong>and</strong>scape is one of South Australia’s most iconic<br />
destinations. Visit from April to October when the temperatures<br />
are cooler to make the most of the extensive bushwalking <strong>and</strong><br />
camping experiences.<br />
Innes National Park<br />
The rugged coast of Innes National Park offers plenty of white<br />
s<strong>and</strong>y coves nestled amongst cliffs to explore <strong>and</strong> is a paradise for<br />
beach-lovers during spring <strong>and</strong> summer. Anglers can fish for<br />
salmon from the shore at Browns Beach, or try for mullet, tommy<br />
ruffs, squid or even snook from Stenhouse Bay jetty.<br />
Belair National Park<br />
Set in beautiful natural bushl<strong>and</strong> Belair National Park is just 25<br />
minutes from the Adelaide city centre. It's SA’s oldest national park<br />
<strong>and</strong> has woodl<strong>and</strong>s <strong>and</strong> lakes to explore via walking <strong>and</strong> mountain<br />
biking trails. It is home to Old Government House, a significant<br />
heritage building whose gardens have undergone replanting <strong>and</strong><br />
restoration <strong>and</strong> have recently been re-opened to the public.<br />
Naracoorte Caves<br />
These World Heritage listed caves are one of the world’s most<br />
important fossil sites. For half a million years the caves acted as<br />
pitfall traps <strong>and</strong> predator dens, bones collected – layer upon layer,<br />
year after year – creating a rich fossil record of the ancient<br />
animals. With the caves staying at a constant 17 degrees<br />
centigrade, Naracoorte Caves is a destination for all seasons.<br />
Self-guided, guided <strong>and</strong> adventure caving tours are available<br />
year-round.<br />
