Yahoo!7 Destination Guide on South Australia

Adelaide
When the early colonists arrived and began building Adelaide they used stone. They wanted to build a solid, dignified city, a civilised and calm place, with a manner no other state capital in the country could match. Nowadays, much to the wowsers' chagrin, pubs and nightclubs outnumber the churches.
Barossa Valley
The Barossa Valley is a treat that should be savoured slowly, like the famous and fabulous wines that are produced in this region. Despite the area's compact size, the gentle hills and bountiful 25km-long valley produce huge amounts of luscious and fruity wines.
Kangaroo Island
Kangaroo Island is a glorious showpiece of Australian fauna. A wildlife wonderland of birds, native animals and ocean-based creatures, its untamed coastline, turquoise seas, and native forests are unmissable.
