From endless white sandy beaches to rugged Outback landscapes, and from the best food and wine in Oz to some of the most approachable wildlife in the world. South Australia has a huge amount to offer and it’s all within easy reach from the vibrant capital city, Adelaide.
See an incredibly diverse array of wildlife in its natural habitat on Australia’s own Galapagos - Kangaroo Island, or swim with sea lions and dolphins in the protected waters around the untouched paradise of the Eyre Peninsula. If you’re limited for time, just 20 minutes from the centre of Adelaide you can swim with dolphins or hold a Koala.
See yourself as a bit of a Crocodile Dundee? Then head into the Outback, and see how you fare in the spectacular Flinders Ranges. Explore these rugged landscapes by foot, bike, 4WD or even camel!
Take a day trip from Adelaide and sample the delights from any of the world renowned wine regions such as the Barossa, Clare Valley and McLaren Vale.
If edgy arts festivals, fabulous food and a laid-back vibe grab your attention then Adelaide is the place for you. It’s also renowned for its Mediterranean climate with an alfresco lifestyle and friendly locals and has a great nightlife on offer.
There's a high demand for skilled as well as non-skilled workers in South Australia, so finding a job is not a worry... & if you’re just out of uni this is a great addition to your CV.
