South Australia

South Australia is a land of dramatic contrasts, from rugged outback to pristine coastlines. Kangaroo Island is a wildlife haven, home to sea lions, echidnas, and, of course, plenty of kangaroos. Australia’s largest Outback mountain range – the Flinders Ranges is where you’ll find spectacular gorges, ancient landscapes, and have the chance to spot adorable yellow-footed rock wallabies. This region is best explored on a road trip.
Further north, The Breakaways Reserve looks so much like an extraterrestrial landscape that several space movies have been shot there. And back on the coast the Eyre Peninsula is where towering cliffs meet crystal-clear waters teeming with dolphins and great white sharks.
