Introducing South Australia
South Australia (SA) entices visitors with an annual smorgasbord of festivals and events, from the Robe village fair to the world renowned Womadelaide. Once here, this enigmatic state uses wide beaches, emerald green waters, superlative wineries, native wildlife and the majesty of its outback landscapes to seduce visitors into extending their stays. Lulled into its soothing and beguiling rhythms, SA’s concoction of pleasures soon work their way under your skin.
Perfectly positioned Adelaide, perched between white sandy beaches and forested hills, is dripping with some of the country’s best cultural offerings, not to mention gourmet wining and dining – a good place to start is the fabulous bustle, colours and aromas of the Central Market. The city has a hefty appetite for hedonism too, evident in supreme annual arts festivals, particularly the Adelaide Fringe, when the city explodes with creativity. And don’t miss a cricket match played on Adelaide Oval, one of the most beautiful grounds in the world.
