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.

Driving through the island you will see a lot of road kill which is so sad so please respect the animals habitat and don’t drive at night. There is a lot to see on this amazing island and there are not enough adjectives to describe just how magical it is. HOW TO GET THERE By sea: The ferry leaves from Cape Jervis, about a 2 hour drive south of Adelaide. Kangaroo Island SeaLink’s vehicle and passenger ferry service operates daily (except Christmas Day) between Cape Jervis and Penneshaw, Kangaroo Island. The ferry takes just 45 minutes and you can bring your…
