From the rugged Outback to the glittering Southern Ocean, South Australia is known for its wildlife, food, wine and beauty.
South Australia is vast, spanning nearly half a million square miles. With a population of around one point six million people, that’s just four people per square mile.
Kangaroo Island is Australia’s third largest, and home to a remarkable range of wildlife. With over 800 native species of plants and rare sights like the endangered glossy black cockatoo, Kangaroo Island is typified by unspoiled wilderness and a magnificent selection of flora and fauna, including the kangaroos that give it its name.
Just over a thousand sea lions live and breed in the Seal Bay Conservation Park, one of the most popular tourist attractions of Kangaroo Island. Marine life thrives all across the shores of South Australia. The state’s coastline stretches for more than 3,000 miles, and after a flight of just 40 minutes from Adelaide the mighty Eyre Peninsula awaits.
Baird Bay is a small fishing village situated on the west of the peninsula. Snorkelling here isn’t a typical experience, as the the coastal waters are home to Australian sea lions and pods of dolphins.
Adelaide, the state capital city, was founded in 1836 as a planned, freely settled colony. It was a place where immigrants could settle free from religious persecution. Nowadays the city remains a vibrant, bustling cultural centre, home to thriving markets, a lively night scene and dozens of festivals a year.
From Adelaide’s beautiful architecture to a wealth of museums detailing its immigrant settlers, Adelaide does not shy away from its multicultural history. For example, the South Australian Museum houses the largest collection of Aboriginal ethnographic material in the world.
Climbing away from the coast and the bustle of the city are the quiet, rural hills of the Barossa Valley. The Barossa is world-renowned for its red wine, and over 150 wineries lie within an hour’s drive from Adelaide. But the Barossa is not only home to wine. It’s one of the world’s top culinary destinations.
The vibrancy of South Australia doesn’t end in Barossa. Follow the Stuart Highway north, beyond the hills and the vineyards of the Clare Valley to where green turns to red and the Outback begins.
For many the jewel in the crown of this region is the dramatic stretch of rock known fondly as the ‘Organ Pipes’. Gawler Range. Enormous, solid volcanic rhyolite is stacked in the cliff face here, ranging in size from stony grinning teeth to the elongated pillars that remind so many people of magnificent organs.
The rugged landscape of the Flinders Ranges epitomises the romanticism of outback Australia: big skies, incredible sunsets, and sun-baked desert as far as the eye can see.
In the summer it’s a hot, dry landscape. It might seem daunting at first, but look a bit closer and you’ll find the place teeming with life. The Flinders Ranges have also been inhabited by humans for thousands of years. Aborigines have walked in these hills since long before European settlers arrived, using the plants and the rocks for food and creating art.
The Flinders Ranges are now home to numerous towns and villages scattered along the highway. The area is accessible as a destination for hiking, cycling, camping and wildlife watching, giving visitors a taste of the iconic outback.
Rawnsley Park Station is a working farm that has managed to find a way to blend sheep farming and tourism. The owners provide scenic flights over the spectacular geological formation, Wilpena Pound.
Wilpena Pound is an ancient valley floor amidst mountains that have been eroded over hundreds of millions of years. Its golden walls are formed of highly resistant quartzite and sandstone. The area is protected from mining and most human impact other than tourism. Nowadays, 4x4s can be seen roaming along the ridgetops that command spectacular views of the timeless landscape.
Life can nevertheless be found all over the northern reaches of South Australia. The emu is a large, flightless bird, endemic to Australia and a close relation of the ostrich. Its long legs allow it to reach speeds of up to 30 miles an hour. It has become an iconic image of Australia.
Continuing up the spine of the country, we reach the northern regions of South Australia.
This is opal mining country, and the Painted Desert may seem barren, but can be extremely lucrative for those willing to work. The town of Coober Pedy is the opal mining capital of the world, known for the way its people live underground in dugouts to escape the fierce desert heat.
We’ve travelled from the crystal waters of the Southern Ocean to the dry beauty of the outback, covering one of the most magnificent states in Australia.
The Explorers’ Way crosses the state border, slicing the country in half as it continues into the Northern Territory.
The peace to my heart and to my anxiety it brings seeing this beautiful city with almost no people. I can’t wait to live there. Just 1 month to go ❤
Sheesh, nothing about the Adelaide Hills. Most spectacular thing SA has. Full of beauty, sights and nature.
Best state in Australia.

Good old South Aussie !
Fantastic food, wine and people !
I'm from Kenya and I must admit this video has made me fall in love with South Australia 🇦🇺. It is my hope and prayer to relocate there permanently
Thats cuz you dont know what its like to live here
@@alphillips5478 I want to experience this first hand.
thanks god, it has opened.
I've lived most of my life in Adelaide South Australia and I stumbled across this video whilst planing a 4wd and camping trip to the Flinders and I must say I love how well you have shown just how beautiful SA is and how much it has to offer! Now please shhhh and keep it a secret!
TheAussieSamurai that's right. Don't tell everyone. We be overrun

Now that's the most South Aussie remark I've read today!
Love it will be taking a wee holiday there with the help of God. It looks lovely the people the market's. The life of the place .looking to find a nice place to retire .great video.❤ ❤❤
Looks like all seasons in one place
(Without winter) fill this space!
Fantastic miracles are free!
With any colour any tree
In South Australia can be seen:
Red, yellow, orange, blue and green
Would be enjoyed by human eyes!
This is the very paradise!
We only envy locals here:
But our feelings are sincere:
This beauty can be found nowhere!
We only dream of getting there
For feeling heaven here on Earth!
This land will give us lots of mirth!
The fairy tale near Adelaide,
These colours which will never fade
Are coming from Australia's heart!
They fill in us an empty part
With new emotions none of us
Had ever felt so deeply. Thus,
These colourful fantastic hills
Near Adelaide make feel us chills
Produced by this unreal view!
I'm sure new miracles are due
To have us all astonished once
So, let's not lose this only chance!
A lot of people may not even realise how beautiful South Australia actually is until they go there. I was down there on holiday almost four years ago and it was much nicer than what I expected it to be. We were driving up Mount Lofty on the Princes Highway and I think about the first 10 minutes of the highway was just typical Australian bushland with eucalypts and several huge man-made cliffs. Then, as soon as we got to the end of the last man-made cliff, which is just where the Crafers exit is, the scenery changed dramatically; it was as if we drove into a completely different part of the world altogether. Just after we passed that exit I saw this plantation of huge green pine trees straight ahead of us. The sun was shining down of them and I remember thinking to myself that this would have to be one of a few examples of some of the most beautiful scenery I had ever seen in my life. I have been to other places though, such as Japan, and thought the scenery was absolutely breathtaking.

I live in Adelaide - you're welcome back any time! :P

Very true. Often SA gets overshadowed by NSW and Queensland because of its bigger population e.g. Hunter Valley Wine and what seems a more interesting abundance of nature e.g. Blue Mountains or Daintree Rainforest etc. But SA is beautiful and unique in its own way.
South Australia is awesome....from the coast to the outback and everything in between.

Living 60 years in South Oz & it's a great underrated part of the world...I would encourage all people to consider a visit here if they are planning a trip down under! Our wildlife, food & wine are beyond amazing.
You missed so much in this video. Almost nothing in the south of the State. But please keep SA a secret. We don't want to lose what we have here. Paradise on earth.
Australia, what amazing country, and amazing video.
loved living there for a few years. going back to visit in a few weeks.

Still worth watching in 2022. I have lived in Adelaide for nearly 70 years.There is nowhere else that I would rather live. It feels strange to see no body including tourists wearing masks, before the COVID pandemic began in early 2020.
I'm from SA and it is absolutely awesome
Beautiful scenery lovely beaches worth visiting
500 million years? wow...
Wow, it's beautiful. Like !!!
Best place to live. I've lived in Melbourne, Sydney, Queensland and Western Australia. But Sth Australia is the best. Port Lincoln is gorgeous plus it's the best place to shark cage diving on the ocean floor...
Beautiful country side
AMAZING
So many wonderful places to explore and thats just in SA! Perfect climate and soil for our very famous wine region.
I live in Adelaide. It’s a rather quiet, but still beautiful place.
Could not agree more
great place to bring up kids, most of us had backyards with fruit trees (no need to buy from the shops!). In the seventies our ordinary back yard had beautiful apricot and peach trees, plus orange and mandarine trees. A mature fig tree was also there, but when i was a teenager only the new Australians appreciated figs! how i wish i had a place with those trees now....Living in a flat is a different thing completely.
new Austrealians from the Mediterranean area in those days, were cheerful hardworking Greeks and Italians! a great addition to our city and state...
Beautiful.. definitely on my bucket list 👏🙏
sa is great
amazing places
So much not covered but brilliantly represented with limited time! Yank saying that!

If you want to see lots of kangaroos, South Australia is a great destination. Just be forewarned, they aren't automobile-savvy. Brilliant place in any case.

Im in aurstulia
i live in adelaide
Last Friday around 1615, on the Mt Barker to Adelaide section of freeway, two enormous gum trees fell across the freeway. I was travelling in the other direction and witnessed the aftermath at 1630. There's not been a word of that on main stream media in South Australia. I'm hoping it's not because it was the first afternoon of school holidays and considered bad for tourism? Potentially horrific outcome. I'm concerned for the 50 odd vehicles crammed up against those trees. Ambos were on their way as I neared Barker. Be hard for them to get through from that end however. I smell a rat with the lack of coverage. There was nothing on any traffic sites.
What about the S.E of S.A.
hhha, tuc toi nhuc nha dzay, am am len, am i nhieu len nua :D:D: phat ixt cho nai mat day
While this was good and only so much you can di in a half hour, but what about the murray river, a big part of our wonderful state, and the region called the riverlands that line this mighty river, this was an oversight and the only blemish on an otherwise great show, this is just my opinion however
hello my friend, Australia is beautiful, i for you number one zero five two please for me...?
Which place is 0:31 please?
did he say 500 million years?
Yes he did. I wonder if he took any photos of when he was there back then?
@Zip Zenac totally not an argument
@Zip Zenac mental asylum.... That's a totally rational thing to think about somebody who disagrees with you on something that's not at all conclusive scientifically. I dunno, maybe the problem doesn't lie with dumbfuck creationists?
The rocks aren't rhyolite, they look like columnar jointed basalts on the video

Good stuff. Shame you use miles instead of kilometres. Stupid imperial system. WHY does both the UK and USA insist upon using the imperial system? They are not even the same, US and UK gallon are different.
Plenty of people that grew up on the metric system that do not know it properly.
Anything is stupid if you do not understand it
Learn both,i used to do engine recon,use both,irrigation use both,its not that hard ,
Another point on the K.I Koalas. Their infected with high rates of Chlamydia, sucks to be them!
That is the Indian Ocean. The Southern Ocean is below 60 degrees.
Australians believe that the Indian Ocean ends and the Southern Ocean begins at Cape Leeuwin, on the south western tip of Western Australia. Schools teach it in Geography and Australia charts it’s maps the same.
If Australia wants to be a world power they need a population of at least 75-100m
Wtf are you talking about why would Australia wanna be a world power?
We don't want to be a world power.
@dennis771 the arable, food producing land is mostly a fairly small strip of a few hundred kilometres inland, mostly in the southern and eastern parts of the country. The top half of SA has less than 10 inches of rainfall a year, most of the Centre of Oz is a broad expanse of desert. So in short, we can just about support the population we have right now . In fact, around the time of the Millenium drought several cities including Adelaide, had to instal Desalination plants just to keep coastal residents from running out of drinking and washing water! That was only 12 years ago.
@@pipfox7834 That’s fair. Japan & Indonesia have small amount of food producing land than Australia but 10x the population; do you care to explain that?
it's eastern grey kangaroo not western grey
South Australia:
Because of its small population, SA is a ''closed shop''
A white elephant - stifled by a self-serving and selfish legal fraternity who want to keep it that way.
People have jobs here because of who they know or who their parents were.
Limited chances for advancement unless your white, preferably English and preferably born here.
Some university staff are not ''qualified'' - eg an Associate Professor Psychiatry who doesnt have a medical degree!
Whole families have jobs in same university - some in the same department! You can see why (on a world basis) South Australian Universities score poorly.
Rule of Law is a joke. With 13 political parties here - NOT ONE has a policy on law and order.
The last state/territory in Australia to get an Independent Commission Against Corruption (ICAC) and the only one where the public cant attend! That has now changed except there are no public hearings held!
Courts are as ''crooked as a dogs hind leg'' upto and including the Supreme Court and not all Judicial Officers actually have a law degree!
You can blame Labor SA for its exploitation of this state and its people for further its own selfish goals
You are better off elsewhere
Most inaccurate travelogue ever. Beautiful scenery though.
dude.
All this video can talk about is the outback and >100 people living small town isn't it.... though I cannot blame you on that...
great Docco on SA BUT if you are going to write about anything in Australia ,please be Australian and not American ,,,we do not have Ranches we have huge Stations, cattle Stations and Sheep stations.
welcome to Newzealand everyone!
This state is boring compared to other states. Don’t bother visiting
Eeediot
Unless you want to keep peeps away
Truth!
Yes!
Please let folk like you stay clear.
Beside the horrible internet; boring life style; bunch of obrigins on the street asking for money; horrible driving road quality; cheap asian boss taking advantage of the workers from the restaurant; low population; all the same for all shopping area; police only hiding behind the concer trying to catch overspeed drive instad of answering 911 call fast; unreasonable traffic light timing; lack of free parking; over heat at summer; raining during winter; over charge for tax on first, second, or third job; wasting tax money on making a bloody over price bronze piguen for tourist during covid time; spending super long period of time(6mth-1yr) on private and public construction with tax payer money on one of the highest hourly rate work in Australia, while in Aisa country can be done in 1-7 days; un-reasonable design for infrastructure; outdated connection, over-priced internet, electricity, water; over ptoective on so call "heritage building" even if it looks worse than a cheaply built Xhore house during the 80s. Emm..... I guess everything is cool for SA
Australians dial 000 for emergencies, not 911.
