LIFESTYLE IS KING in South Australia. Adelaide is Australia’s Festival city – a place to celebrate the arts and fabulous wines. The Barossa Valley is renowned as the wine capital of Australia but there is a great drop to be had no matter which way you head. Clare Valley is where the bush meets the vines and the Rieslings are hard to beat.

Coonawarra country has more big reds to try as well as limestone caves millions of years old. A short ferry ride takes you to Kangaroo Island where sandy bays and wildlife watching are hard to beat. Coober Pedy – the world's opal capital – has its underground dug-out hotels while the Flinders Ranges bring the Outback to your doorstep – just a four-hour drive in Aussie terms.
