In today’s episode, we’re going to be travelling across South Australia from the stunning turquoise blues of endless coastlines to the dramatic rusty reds of the Flinders Ranges and Outback.
We’ll explore each destination in the company of an expert local guide - including a past winner of Wanderlust’s Guide of the Year award! They’ll take us from the city of Adelaide, and the wine country of the Adelaide Hills, to the wildlife paradise of Kangaroo Island and the rugged adventure of the Eyre Peninsula.
South Australia is a true microcosm of the country as a whole, and this episode will show you it through a local’s eyes.
Highlights include:
- Taking an e-bike tour around the wine country of the Adelaide Hills.
- Seeing koalas, baby ‘Joey’ kangaroos, and a host of other iconic Australian wildlife.
- Going snorkeling with sea lions, the ‘puppies of the sea’.
- Exploring the ‘Seafood Capital of Australia’ and the footprint free beaches that surround it.
