BRILLIANT SAWhen you're the wine capital of Australia, the art of blending comes naturally. But here in South Australia we blend far more than wine ... Adelaide
In the gracious, friendly capital of Adelaide, you can swim with dolphins 20 minutes from the city centre, sit on an endless sandy beach all morning and head to the hills for wine tasting in the afternoon.

Forget five-star lodgings in the Flinders Ranges and Outback - it's more like five billion. Chart tomorrow's course around tonight's campfire. Fly over a salt lake the size of Holland.

Kangaroo Island
If wildlife and wilderness are your thing, Kangaroo Island is your destination. Walk among sea lions as they doze on the beach. Meet the locals (that's echidnas, fairy penguins, platypuses, koalas and the island's own species of kangaroo). Marvel at Remarkable Rocks and Little Sahara. And relive it all over a glass of fine island wine. Read more ... Limestone Coast
Like many of its sensational wines, the Limestone Coast is a perfect blend - brilliant white beaches, famous Coonawarra reds and rolling green farmland. Eat lobster caught earlier that day; buy wine at the cellar door for a sunset picnic on a deserted beach; hike around Mount Gambier's mysterious Blue Lake; or find bats, stalactites and ancient fossils in the Naracoorte Caves.
