South Australia is the fourth largest and driest State of Australia. With massive semi-desert areas in the far Outback, the State is home to about 1.5 million people and about 80% of them reside in the capital city of Adelaide. South Australia developed as a freely settled and a planned British province, unlike a convict settlement.
And now, it has grown into a major tourist center with Adelaide as the central point for the visitors. Adelaide is popularly known as 'the city of churches'. It is home to some excellent beaches, parklands and shopping avenues. The Adelaide Hills nearby give a perfect backdrop to the city.
The wineries of Barossa Valley are extremely popular in this part of Australia. The Flinders Ranges are an ideal spot to indulge in some bushwalking and sight seeing. The Great Australian Bight is famous for whale watching.
Though large parts of the State are deserts, yet agriculture is possible in some parts of South Australia. These include Fleurieu, Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas.
Besides, South Australia is home to some of the finest rivers, lakes and islands. Prominent ones include Port River, Cooper Creek, Marne River, Murray River, Lake Albert, Lake Alexandrina, Lake Torrens, Lake Frome, Kangaroo Island, Flinders Island, Granite Island and Neptune Island.
