South Australia is the perfect place for a road trip and the most underrated state in my opinion. From the stunning coastline of the Eyre Peninsula’s, multiple award winning wine regions, the wildlife of Kangaroo Island, and the red hues of the South Australia outback, the diversity on offer in this state is second to none. The state is known as the rock pool state and I will show you why later in this blog. It is a huge state with a lot of it being outback, you could spend weeks travelling around and discovering hidden beaches, national parks and heading off road. We only had ten days to explore this state and squeeze in the top sights to see in South Australia. HOW LONG TO GO FOR? You could spend a few months as I said travelling around and exploring the coast line, inland and the outback. A month is a decent amount of time and most travellers would get to see the majority of the state. You can break it up into two one week holidays exploring different areas or jam pack the highlights (in our opinion) in 10 days. CAMPER VAN OR CAR? You can see…

The cherry blossoms are in bloom in Spring (Sept- Nov) which make a gorgeous backdrop to vineyard photos. The night time is still chilly (lows of 7 degrees) but the days are sunny and dry in general. In non COVID times, September is when the calendar peaks with the Mudgee Food and wine festival which is…
