Millions of travelers are attracted to Australia for a variety of reasons. Sure there are adventures waiting around ever Aussie corner, but sometimes you just want to sit back and relax. That's when it's time to visit South Australia.

Nestled between Western Australia and Queensland, this state is home to 1.6 million people. Even with that many people, however, it's still less than 10 percent of the entire country's population. With less tourists, infamous wine, delectable produce and an untouched environment, Southern Australia is the perfect spot to kickback in the outback.



Regions

Southern Australia is divided into nine different regions. The state's capital, Adelaide, is in the region named for the city. The Winery Areas include some of the state's most incredible wines. The Fleurieu Peninsula just south of Adelaide is home to coastal villages and the gateway to Kangaroo Island. Just off the coast of the mainland is Kangaroo Island with miles of natural beauty. The Limestone Coast is in the southeastern section of South Australia and contains Mount Gambier. The Murray River is the fruitful region around the winding river, and the Yorke Peninsula is so nice even the Aussies go there for holidays. The Eyre Peninsula is miles and miles of coastline, and Flinders Ranges has the Mount Remarkable National Park for exploration and adventure.
