Escape the frenzy of Australia's east coast in pleasant, relaxed South Australia.
The growing cuisine, culture and beaches of Adelaide are charming first time visitors venturing on a South Australia foray. Take your car hire in South Australia from Adelaide Airport to all that a South Australia road trip has to offer.
East of Adelaide city is the suburb of Adelaide Hills. The Hills captures an almost idyllic storybook landscape, teeming with culture, history and some of the best culinary fare in South Australia. A short drive away from the city, Adelaide Hills is a picturesque destination to take your car hire on your South Australia road trip.
Located within the Eyre Peninsula is the Gawler Ranges. A short distance from Adelaide, the ranges is home to Mt Ive Station, known for sightings of wild goats and kangaroo. A six-hour drive from Adelaide city, this destination is off the beaten track far beyond mobile reception, so be sure to take regular breaks and bring some handy maps. The various options for hotel stopovers backed by the clear night sky make for an unforgettable Australian Outback Experience.
Also on the Eyre Peninsula is the rock pool of Greenly Beach. A distance from Adelaide city, a better alternative would be to fly into the nearby port Lincoln, and pick up a car hire from Hertz Car Rental before continuing your journey. The beach is a popular swimming and surfing spot, with sand dunes and reefs for those who enjoy exploring or sightseeing.
On the Australian Outback lies Arkaba Station, where sunrises and sunsets become magical to witness. The station is home to the Flinders Ranges, overflowing with the magic of the Australian Outback. Be aware that available accommodation is minimal in that area, and it would be best to make reservations early. The Arkaba Conservancy is home to numerous forms and species of wildlife, with hiking trails available along with guided tours both on ground and via helicopter.
If you are looking for an exclusive getaway, the Great Australian Bight on the Eyre Penninsula is where you would want to go. Known as one of the most isolated parts of Australia, the Head of Bight is home to Australia’s most substantial natural creche. The creche is where southern right whales come to mate and give birth. The Bight is accessible by a short flight from Adelaide to Ceduna, followed by a few hours drive to the whale viewing area.
