South Australia is a state defined by extreme wilderness. It's home to the 100km-long Bunda Cliffs facing the Great Australian Bight, the empty expanse of the arid Nullarbor Plain and the red dunes of the Simpson Desert.
Its capital, Adelaide, nicknamed “City of Churches” and known for its rich culture, is neighboured by Barossa Valley vineyards and sheltered beaches of the Fleurieu Peninsula.
The city's Adelaide Festival is a bi-annual international arts gathering with spin-offs including fringe and film events.
