• Check out Mount Lofty in the Adelaide Hills for the best view of the city and its surrounding countryside. And don't miss the adjoining Botanic Gardens and Cleland Wildlife Park (website: www.parks.sa.gov.au/cleland), where you can feed roos (kangaroos) and emus.
• See a large collection of Aboriginal artefacts at the South Australian Museum (website: www.samuseum.sa.gov.au) in Adelaide. Tandanya - National Aboriginal Cultural Institute (website: www.tandanya.com.au) is worth a visit too for more insights into Australia's indigenous culture.
• Watch countless wildlife in their natural environment on Kangaroo Island. Possible sightings include penguins, koalas, wallabies, kangaroos, seals as well as the large sea lion colony at Seal Bay. Don't miss gorging on local island produce such as marron (freshwater crayfish).
• Step into the Naracoorte Caves National Park near the southeast border with Victoria and see stalagmites, stalactites, bats and fossils. The Wonambi Fossil Centre (website: www.parks.sa.gov.au/naracoorte/wonambi) brings it all to life.
• Set eyes on South Australia's best slice of the outback in the ancient Aboriginal heritage area of Flinders Ranges (website: www.flindersranges.com), a region of spectacular granite peaks and colourful gorges, dotted with eucalyptus trees.
• Ponder the edge of a continent as you advance along the Nullarbor Plain, lying flat for hundreds of miles but then suddenly dropping 90m (300ft) to form the Bunda Cliffs, which tower above the Southern Ocean.
• Gaze over Mount Gambier, a town that has been built around an extinct volcano. The town's many quirky and beautiful sights include sinkholes, limestone coastal area and the Blue Lake, which boasts crystal-clear waters that change in colour with the seasons.
