When to visit

The best time to visit South Australia is during the spring months of September to November when the weather is mild and the flowers are in bloom. Summer (December to February) can be hot, especially in the outback areas. Autumn (March to May) is also a pleasant time to visit with mild temperatures. Winter (June to August) can be cold, especially in the southern regions.

Getting around

Getting around South Australia is easy with a well-connected network of roads and highways. Visitors can rent a car to explore the state at their own pace. Public transportation options include buses and trains, with Adelaide having a free tram service within the city center. Domestic flights are also available for travel between major cities.

Traveller tips

Make sure to try the local wines in the Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale regions. Pack sunscreen and a hat for protection from the strong Australian sun. Keep an eye out for wildlife such as kangaroos and koalas when exploring the countryside. Respect the Indigenous culture and heritage of the land. Be prepared for varying weather conditions, especially if traveling to remote areas.
