The lush valleys deliver the perfect conditions for growing an abundance of flavours. The state\u2019s famous wine regions &#8211; namely Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, Clare Valley, Coonawarra and the Adelaide Hills &#8211; are where you\u2019ll find plentiful cellar doors inviting you over the threshold. You\u2019ll succumb to the temptation at one of the state\u2019s food and wine festivals, of which much of South Australia travel revolves around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For those looking to get in touch with nature, the rugged Outback, wild landscapes of the Eyre Peninsula and hiking opportunities in and around the Flinders Ranges can be combined for an active South Australia tour. To mix it up, the vibrant capital of Adelaide followed by a few days on Kangaroo Island, where you\u2019ll be surrounded by an abundance of free-roaming native Australian wildlife, presents the perfect combination.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While it\u2019s not the first draw, the verdant coastline and sparkling blues of the ocean just add to what makes this part of Australia a joy to travel around.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fine landscapes, fine wine, fine food and fines festivals; need we say more? Read on to find out everything there is to know about South Australia travel.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Best Time to Visit South Australia<\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The driest of all the states in the country, South Australia gets very hot! Over 75% of the population of this state are based in the capital city of Adelaide &#8211; escaping the heat, anyone?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The southern part of the state, including Adelaide, has a much more Mediterranean climate with sea breezes helping to keep everyone cool. Whereas in the north, it\u2019s much drier. Regardless, it can get very hot in both north and south during the summer. Adelaide temperatures can reach 46 degrees in the summer (from November to February). The winters (March to September) in South Australia tend to be cold and rainy. However, when we say \u2018cold\u2019, we mean \u2018cold for Australians\u2019 as it\u2019s still around 20-30 degrees.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Skin cancer is rife in Australia with some of the highest rates in the world, so make sure to wear sun protection. You can buy huge bottles of sun cream all over the country &#8211; applying suncream is a practise heavily encouraged by locals!<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">[vc_row css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509035681059{background-color: #f2f2f2 !important;border-radius: 5px !important;}&#8221;][vc_column][vc_column_text css=&#8221;.vc_custom_1509350069266{margin-bottom: 10px !important;}&#8221; el_class=&#8221;post-cta&#8221;]<\/span><\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\"><b>Don&#8217;t Miss Our Exclusive Offers!
