Adelaide is the perfect base to explore the best of what Australia has to offer including spectacular coastlines, desert-scapes, islands teeming with wildlife and some of the oldest mountain ranges on Earth. No matter what direction you head in, you’ll find something uniquely Australian.

CampingThe Flinders Ranges is one of the best places to go camping and experience the Australian outback. You will see open desert, lakes, wildflowers and wildlife, historic towns and rich Aboriginal and European history. Or head to the Yorke Peninsula and camp at one of the picture perfect beach spots along the coast. And if you want somewhere closer to home, Kuitpo Forest offers a nature escape with camping grounds and walking trails.

WildlifeGet close to Australia’s native animals in the Adelaide Hills. At Cleland Wildlife Park you can wander among kangaroos, wallabies, emus and koalas. Or hop on a ferry and head to Kangaroo Island, for native forests, beautiful beaches and wildlife sanctuaries. But you don’t have to go to a wildlife park to see Australia’s unique animals - there are plenty of places where you can see our native animals roaming free.

CoastlineSouth Australia boasts more than 3,800 km of stunning coastline. It’s the home of long summers and stunning beaches so take a trip down the southern coast and spend the day at some of the most beautiful, unspoilt and uncrowded beaches in the world.

As part of my studies I went on a field trip to the Gammon Ranges for ‘Outdoor and Wilderness Adventure Education’. We visited Nepabunna (Aboriginal town), met the people and learned their history. We also observed amazing wilderness and wildlife, including kangaroos and emus.
