South Australia

South Australia, with it's huge semi-desert areas in the far Outback, is the driest out of all of the states and also the most urbanised.  Adelaide, the capital, has been called 'the city of churches'.  Although the churches are still in Adelaide, times are different now.  The state is well-known for it's wineries. The main wine growing region is in the Barossa Valley.  It also hosts fantastic scenery and bushwalking, it is possible to watch whales at the Head of Bight along the Great Australian Bight and the wild coast offers plenty for the tourist, as well as the relaxing Kangaroo Island.
