South Australia Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Kangaroo Island Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Kangaroo Island day trip
To be honest, I was a bit regretful when I arrived in Adelaide on the first night. It was not dark at seven or eight o'clock, and there were not many people on the street. Apart from the diligent Asian shops that were still open, everything else was basically closed. I was thinking it would be better to stay in Melbourne for a few more days!
But the next day I went to Kangaroo Island and felt that this Adelaide trip was worth it! It's really beautiful! Once again regretting that my driving skills are not good and I dare not drive around the island for a few more days. A day trip is only enough to see a few sights, and there is no chance to play many sand and water activities.
But I still took a lot of photos
On the island, I saw seals lying dead, sea lions quarreling, koalas crossing the road, and large lizards on the side of the road, but I didn't see many live kangaroos on this Kangaroo Island. In Australia, you will see kangaroo corpses on the side of the road from time to time, which is a bit scary.
Australia | Must-visit attractions and guide to exploring South Australia
Australia is surrounded by the sea on all sides and is the only country in the world that covers an entire continent. It has many unique flora and fauna and natural landscapes. Australia is also the country with the largest number of free-range sheep and the highest export of wool in the world, known as the "country riding on the back of sheep". •
In this article, let's focus on the southern part of Australia.
👍🏻Unmissable attractions👇🏻:
•
🔖Adelaide
In the Adelaide city area, must-see attractions include the South Australian Art Gallery, Adelaide Central Market, and Glenelg Beach.
•
🔖Handorf German Village
Go to the German village to search for delicious food. The traditional German cuisine here, such as German beer, German sausages, and salted pork knuckles, are all delicious and not to be missed. At the same time, the galleries, handicraft shops, and various souvenirs scattered throughout the village are also dazzling.
•
🔖Kangaroo Island
The name sounds cute! The island's attractions are mainly located in national parks and conservation parks, including: Battleship Arch, Magic Rock, Seal Bay, Kelly Hill Caves in Flinders Chase National Park, lighthouses at various capes, Prospect Hill with a panoramic view of the entire island, Little Sahara on the southern coast, Murrary Lagoon where many waterbirds inhabit, and Parndana Wildlife Park. Of course, shipwrecks and lighthouses are also well-known attractions on the island.
At the beach on the north shore of Kangaroo Island, you can swim safely, and at the same time, you can choose to dive and observe the underwater coral cliffs and rocky reefs along the American River or the Western River Bay.
•
🔖Barossa Valley wine region
If you want to taste wine, go to Barossa, you won't be wrong! As one of the oldest wine regions in Australia, Barossa can be said to be synonymous with high-quality wine. The rich red wine and fortified wine here are well-known. If you are not interested in the local wine, you can also choose to take a hot air balloon to overlook the vineyards, dine at well-known restaurants, and visit nearby villages and national parks, which are all good choices!
•
🔖Philippine Peninsula
Between May and October each year, the coastline of the Phil Peninsula is one of the best viewing points for watching southern right whales and their calves migrate. It is also known for its leisurely lifestyle and top fishing spots, as well as for its near-shore surfing for surfers of all skill levels. It is also a paradise for divers and snorkelers, with mysterious shipwrecks and fascinating marine life. When you come to the Phil Peninsula, you can experience a variety of water activities and diverse marine culture, and enjoy delicious food and wine.

G'day, Mate.
Nanao Travel | Return to the beginning and start again
On the way to Kangaroo Island.
I reach my hand out of the window.
Feeling the wind of South Australia.
Escape from between your fingers.
The moment when the sun sets in the west.
The small animals that appear by the roadside accidentally.
Let's stop the car and raise the camera.
This moment is really beautiful.
Golden light spreads over the vast earth.
Nearby and faraway wild kangaroos.
Some are running, some are searching for food with their heads down.
Some curiously stopped and looked towards our direction.
Towering trees with lush branches and leaves.
Mottled shadows of trees, sunlight peeking through the cracks.
As if returning to the primitive forest.
Return to the beginning of humanity.
Life is countless cycles.
Year after year, from new beginnings to new endings.
Everything seems to have changed, yet it feels like nothing has changed at all.
We went to Kangaroo Island just to get a glimpse of the Seals at Seal Bay Conservation Park and we weren't disappointed. There were lots of little pups playing in the shallows. The guide was very informative too. Loved it. #wintergetaway

Glenelg Beach Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
Nice weather for the Beach in SA
#vianasjourney
It’s a good weather to visit the beach today. Took a free tram to Glenelg Beach from Stamford Plaza. I said free because according to the staff at the station, they won’t charge you if you come back in less than 2 hours. The area doesn’t look like how it used to be. Last time there were many colourful tents on the beach side and there’s also a ferris wheels which looks amazingly beautiful during sunset. I’ve asked a local and she said it was there in summer and they removed it in winter. Guess I better come during summer next time. But still, it’s a nice visit, also it’s free ride.
👙Beachy Time 🏖️🇦🇺
Glenelg Beach is a MUST visit in ADL. it’s a perfect get away from the city.
it’s located 30-40 min tram ride away from the city.
Now that it’s summer in the Aus it would be perfect to visit the beach and have a picnic 🧺 or swim in the ocean 🦈
The beach does get quite busy during the day so preferably going there in the afternoon closer to the evening would be a better idea if you wouldn’t want to burn your skin.
There’s also a Lott of nice restaurants and cafes that are worth visiting.
🌊👙☀️⛱️🏖️🏝️🩳🐚🩱

Adelaide’s Golden Beach (Glenelg Beach)
Glenelg is the most popular and most family -friendly metropolitan beach in Adelaide. It’s also the easiest to access. Just hop on the tram from the city and get off at Moseley Square, just metres away from the water at Glenelg Beach.
It is a lovely beach that will shine in sunset that you never seen before.
Jetty Road is a bustling mix of quality cafés, clothing boutiques and restaurants. End your day in luxury at the plush Stamford Grand hotel or Seawall apartments, overlooking the beautiful Glenelg beach.

Adelaide Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
After visiting Melbourne and the Northern Territory, we came to Adelaide. 🤔️Adelaide is very quiet city with annual temperatures ranging from 10 to 28 degrees. It is really one of the most liveable cities I've visited. 👍🏻Here, self-driving is a good choice. You can go to the national park of South Australia, go to Kangaroo Island , or go to the zoo to see cute kangaroos!

Adelaide Soft, Alpaca, Australia, Softfoot, Alpaca, hh/
The farmer, who was a mechanic, bought the land 20 years ago and built an alpaca here. Wild animals and a kingdom full of love.
Attend one hour of Tour, you can follow the farm's Chinese guide, drive four-wheel drive to the jungle and farm hinterland, chase the kangaroos in groups, and feed hundreds of alpacas. The alpaca sprouted, and when I saw the grass in the plate, I immediately sang it, and I immediately rushed to grab it, and I was very strong. I couldnt lift it with the hand of the pot. The guide tells us that the alpaca's hair can't be touched, it will be very unhappy, and the hairstyle is a sign of their self-confidence. It turns out to be really ecstasy.
In addition to the animals, you can also visit the natural scenery on the farm. The story of the farmer's grandfather creating the Love River for the artist's grandmother is very moving. The whole park is full of lakes and mountains, and the natural scenery is pleasant. Grandma cooked the dessert for us. Grandpa showed us the beloved toy excavator. The daughter showed us the whip. It was a very happy afternoon. I really want to hold an alpaca back to China
# More than travel ##[]#
Adelaide at sunset, set an EcoCaddy to explore the city scenery and street art, is a special experience, this bicycle similar to the Chinese tricycle is actually very foreign, there are navigation road map and seat belt. The guy who rides the bike is handsome and talkative. He is very fluent in learning Chinese. He only taught "We go." It is very standard.
Follow the car all the way to string, enjoy a lot of good-looking old and new buildings, drill into the colorful graffiti wall alleys, occasionally the locals enthusiastically into the camera's picture... The afterglow is very warm, just like The wind in South Australia is not anxious, falling in love with the slow pace and coziness here.
I thought that the winter in the southern hemisphere was cold and bleak, but I never wanted to meet the sun and the bright sunshine.
The sides of the road, the rolling hills, the endless grape fields, meet in the colorful colors.
The winter in South Australia ,so nice

Coffin Bay National Park Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in Apr)
South Australia's most special coastal scenery.
Ancient granite cliffs, long beaches covered with white sand, rugged sea otters, limestone cliffs and islands carved out by the Southern Ocean and the southwest monsoon.
There are also a lot of wild animals in the national parks. If you are lucky, you can see them in the natural environment.
Location: The Coffin Bay National Park
I would like to call the Eyre Peninsula the South Australian version of 'Shangri-La'
🌊 The Eyre Peninsula is known for its ruggedly beautiful coastline and pleasant beaches. The scenery here is like a magnificent painting: blue skies and white clouds, clear waters and white sands, romantic pink lakes, the Sky Realm, and magical boulders, all of which are breathtaking. Trust me, in the hustle and bustle of life, there must be such a place where one can relax and resonate with nature!
✅ Must-visit attractions on the Eyre Peninsula:
📍Coffin Bay National Park
Coffin Bay National Park, which boasts the extended coastline of the Eyre Peninsula, is not only a pilgrimage site for water sports enthusiasts but also an ideal place for relaxation. Here, the rocks echo the azure waves, and when the sunlight sprinkles on the sea, the waves shimmer with golden light under the reflection, making the entire coastline glitter like a mermaid's dwelling~ Strolling on the beach, feeling the sea breeze. Whether it's the brilliant light and shadow at sunrise or the soft afterglow at sunset, it's all incredibly beautiful!
📍Lincoln National Park
Lincoln National Park covers an area of 216 square kilometers, encompassing steep cliffs, winding bays, dunes, pristine white sandy beaches, and various camping facilities, making it an excellent destination for travel and adventure!
Memory Bay, shining like a gem, is located here. With its soft sandy beaches and blue sea, worries seem to drift away with the waves. True to its name, it's unforgettable at first sight. However, Memory Bay is a protected area, and only 15 vehicles are allowed in per day, so be sure to apply for a permit at the visitor center in advance.
📍Lake MacDonnell
Finally, I get to write about my favorite spot! Lake MacDonnell is one of South Australia's most beautiful pink salt lakes. Driving on the embankment, one side of the lake is pink, the other side is emerald green, and further down the bridge is the blue lake water, forming a stunning tri-color lake. Here, it's as if you're in a world interwoven with fairy tales and dreams. Trust me, don't miss this place; you'll be able to take countless life photos!
📍Lake Gairdner
If there's any place that can rival Lake MacDonnell, it must be Lake Gairdner!
Lake Gairdner stretches unbounded into the distance, with a vast horizon as if there is no end. The red sand dunes echo the glittering lake surface, and just by standing or sitting here, one can feel infinitely relaxed. When it rains, the lake surface becomes like a giant mirror, clearly reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, hence the nickname 'South Australia's Sky Realm'.
There are so many beautiful sights that, in addition to the above attractions, there are ancient stone formations like Murphy’s Haystacks, the spectacular natural Talia Caves, and secluded Greenly Beach surrounded by cliffs... To truly experience everything in one go, a few days would definitely not be enough!
❤️ The more I talk about the Eyre Peninsula, the more I want to go again! If you also want to start exploring a new travel map, this is really a niche and treasure-filled place~
In the trip to the Eyre Peninsula, the expectation is no more than the oyster farm in Covent Bay. Coffin Bay, the name of the world's seafood diners, is synonymous with top oysters.
The best way to eat oysters is to enjoy it within 20 minutes after opening the shell. The sweetness of the meat is brought to the savory taste of the sea itself, and the taste of the ingredients itself is maximized. And we, but it took 1 minute.
On the last day of the Eyre Peninsula, I went to Coventry Bay National Park. The car, along the dense forest road, has been rushing from the bushes from time to time.
The end of the road, the eyes suddenly open, it is the charming blue, deep and shallow, layered, changing colors. The sea of Australia is so beautiful that it has never lived up to it.
I am alone, walking along the long sandy beach, wanting to see the other side of the reef, hiding what kind of heaven and earth. On the other side of the sea, it is still the sea, just met the Michael family fishing. A car, a dog, two people who love each other, so simple and pure happiness, envy.
Michael said that this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, with groups of dolphins chasing the shore in the summer. Still regretting the winter at the moment, I have to lose my hand. When bidding farewell, the dark shadows of the waves were present, and a large group of dolphins chased the waves and played.
