Adelaide – traditional Country of the Kaurna people of the Adelaide Plains – has been ranked one of the world’s most liveable cities. Major tourist attractions include Adelaide Central Markets (one of the largest undercover fresh produce markets in the Southern Hemisphere), the famous Adelaide Oval, Adelaide Zoo, South Australian Museum, Adelaide Festival Centre and Art Gallery of South Australia … all within an easy flat walk.
Adelaide is also home to premier dining destinations including world-class restaurants, pubs, and bars in its bustling laneways and a strong focus on locally sourced farm-to-table dining experiences.
We also recommend the Adelaide Kaurna trail - a 2-3 hour walk where you can visit places of cultural significance and learn about Adelaide’s rich Kaurna heritage. Kaurna people were officially recognised as native title holders over the Adelaide Plains in March 2018. The historic judgment was 18 years in the making and the first to be granted over a capital city.
Beyond Adelaide delegates can explore one of South Australia’s iconic wine regions (e.g. Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale, or Adelaide Hills); the unspoiled wilderness of Kangaroo Island; the breathtaking outback of the Flinders Ranges and the seafood capital of Port Lincoln.
Adelaide is surrounded by world-renowned wine regions like the McLaren Vale - only 45 minutes from Adelaide. This South Australian gem boasts more than 80 cellar doors and vineyards, top-notch restaurants and beautiful accommodation options. But McLaren Vale isn’t just about the wine; beyond the vines are long stretches of beach, rugged coastline and local wildlife and art exhibits like Salvador Dalí at D'Arenberg Cube. Here you can explore a surrealist exhibition and sale featuring 25 authentic Salvador Dali bronze sculptures and graphic artworks. Don’t forget to check out the top floor with panoramic views over region.

Explore the Outback at the Flinders Ranges. Long regarded as one of the most magnificent destinations anywhere in the world and certainly near the top of many bucket lists, the Flinders Ranges offers visitors a seemingly endless range of experiences. Experience the geological grandeur forged over more than 540 million years.
The magnificent natural amphitheatre of Wilpena Pound is the centrepiece of Ikara–Flinders Ranges National Park. Also known by its Adnyamathanha name of Ikara, meaning meeting place. Its red ramparts, measuring 8km by 17km, hold spiritual significance for the local Aboriginal people and have inspired artists for generations. Wilpena Pound is a glorious site to behold, covering eight times the area of Uluru. Wilpena Pound is a paradise for bushwalkers and campers. Ancient gorges invite exploration, beauty reveals itself at every turn, and sunsets look like they have been painted on to the uninterrupted horizons. You can also experience this ancient landscape by plane, hot air balloon or four-wheel drive or camp under the stars.

Kangaroo Island, located 13km off the South Australian coast, is a premier nature-based destination renowned for abundant wildlife, including kangaroos, sea lions, dolphins, whales (seasonal) and koalas, alongside dramatic scenery like Remarkable Rocks. Get up close with wildlife, undertake a snorkelling experience or ocean safari or embark on a food safari and discover fresh Island produce.

Dive into Australia's seafood capital of Eyre Peninsula. Sitting on Boston Bay – the largest natural harbour in Australia – it’s little wonder Port Lincoln draws crowds for its famous seafood, pristine beaches and abundant wildlife. Explore epic beaches and dine on fresh seafood in Coffin Bay and Lincoln National Park, slip into waders and out into the waters of a working oyster farm, dive right in and come face-to-face with Great White Sharks. Port Lincoln is a 7 hour drive or 50 minute flight from Adelaide.
