The state's capital is Adelaide, a cosmopolitan city with an abundance of restaurants and parklands.
North of the lush metropolitan and agricultural areas, is classic 'Outback Australia'. Sparsely populated, dry and arid, it has the occasional town popping up in the middle of nowhere.
A short drive north is the Barossa Valley which is renowned for the wines it produces. South of Adelaide it the Fleurieu Peninsula, ideal for day trips or relaxing holidays. The Eyre Peninsula is a rugged coastline that stretches to the Western Australia Boarder.
