With winter almost upon us, it’s the ideal time to pack up, take a short getaway and start exploring this fantastic state of ours. And with so many great things to see and do, you’ll be spoilt for choice.
1. Be Amazed – Get down to Victor Harbor and prepare to be awed as Southern Right whales and their calves return to our shores during the peak winter period. Only an hour's drive from Adelaide, the southern Fleurieu Peninsula is a whale watcher's paradise, with the majestic creatures coming as close as 100 metres from the shoreline.
2. Get Festive – Adelaide comes alive during winter with the annual Cabaret Festival running from 8 – 23 June. Enjoy a night out on the town with dinner along cosmopolitan Rundle Street, followed by a performance that will have you singing all the way back to your hotel room.
3. Avoid The Crowds – Nobody likes to wait in a queue, so embrace winter and take advantage of this quieter travel period to get what you want, when you want it!
4. Go Back In Time – Immerse yourself in the history and culture of some of South Australia’s oldest towns, such as Port Pirie, the gateway to the magnificent Flinders Ranges.
5. Spoil Yourself – Enjoy delicious food and stunning wines when you leisurely explore some of the cellar doors around the Clare Valley, one of Australia’s premium wine regions. Treat yourself to some of the finest red and white wines as you warm yourself by the fireplace or chat to the local winemakers.
6. Rejuvenate, Don’t Hibernate – Resist the temptation to hide away like a bear this winter, and take the opportunity to get out and be active. Don’t let the colder weather stop you from having an adventure – a warm coat and a scarf is all you need!
7. Retail Therapy – Love the bright lights and sights of the city? Book a short stay close to the Adelaide CBD and enjoy a spot of retail therapy in trendy North Adelaide or along the Rundle Mall shopping precinct.
8. Discover – Visit the picturesque town of Naracoorte and take a tour of the World Heritage listed Naracoorte Caves, where you’ll discover ancient fossils and exquisite cave formations.
9. Relax – Throw away your watches and relax beside the mighty Murray River at Mannum. Go fishing, take a leisurely cruise on the PS Marion paddle steamer, or just put your feet up and watch the world drift by.
