Adelaide & South Australiaaf Susannah Farfor

South Australia is a conundrum - so much to do; so little time! Adelaide´s feast of great restaurants and multitude of cultural entertainments compete with easy getaways such as the Barossa Valley or Kangaroo Island. And then there´s the Flinders Ranges and the otherworldly experience of the SA outback... Maybe you´d better stay an extra week?

DINE OUT - grab a quick plate of Coffin Bay oysters in an arty café, or linger over a succulent steak while you decide if it suits a McLaren Vale shiraz or a Coonawarra merlot

GRAPE WORSHIP - there´s probably a law against visiting South Australia without seeing some of Australia´s greatest wineries (if it´s not illegal, it should be!)

FIND YOURSELF - with 70 maps to help navigate from theatre to market to café, and Detour boxed texts to escape ´the crowds´

SHAKE IT, BABY - they don´t call it the Festival State for nothing! Find the nearest outdoor extravaganza and join in the end of that conga line
