MISCELLANEOUS - South Australia

Probably the two main subjects that immediately come to mind about South Australia are ‘wine’ and ‘Flinders Ranges’. However this underrated State also has lush coastal pastures and superb uncluttered beaches, along with a vast and beguiling Outback. There is also the gracious capital city of Adelaide which hosts the superb Adelaide Festival www.adelaidefestival.com.au during March in even numbered years.
