Nature
Some people talk about getting back to nature. Here in South Australia, we never left it.
From the botanic gardens in Adelaide, to the national parks and forests throughout South Australia, nature has never been more accessible.
You'll see native wildlife in its natural habitat. You'll get to walk among Australian flora. And you can talk to our park rangers and learn about our special ecosystems, and how we preserve them for future generations.
For geology buffs, South Australia's limestone cliffs, volcanic craters, and caves tell the story of the world's oldest continent. There are even fossils of megafauna (really big animals) that are millions of years old.
If you want a fresh look at the environment you can take tours through our wetlands, or stay at our eco-friendly accommodation. Or if you're just looking to get away from it all, a walk along a bush trail is a simple but rewarding pleasure.
