It has an area of 383,920 miles², and 2,295 miles of coastline and occupies 13% of the Australian continent. Welcome to South Australia! Between Spencer and Saint Vincent gulfs, the region is scattered with plains and terrain only 985 feet above sea level. It runs along the South Seas where its capital, Adelaide, is located. Crossed by the River Torrens, it has numerous cultural sites. You will find, for example, the "South Autralian Museum", which traces the history of South Australia, or the "Tandanya National Aboriginal Institute" or Tandanya Multicultural Centre, managed by Aboriginals themselves. Once outside the city, go to one of the 19 National Parks in the region. Do not miss the famous eucalyptus, koalas and kangaroos!

  To do

  There are different ways to visit the region, including four major tours. Firstly, the Ghan train, which links Adelaide to Darwin, a two-day journey. Then, the "Explorer's Way": departing from Adelaide to Darwin but by crossing the Outback via a road. As for the "Great Ocean Road", this is one of the longest coastal roads in the world. As its name suggests, it passes through towns and villages along the Australian coast. Finally, another coastal road allows the link between Nullarbor and Perth, notably by passing the "Clare Valley" wine-growing region and Eyre Peninsula.
