Here the visitor is able to go across to Granite Island on the horse drawn tram to see the penguins, or walk the main shopping area, to find that souvenier or post card to send home. The Steam train returns you to Adelaide late in the afternoon. In the Southeast of the state is Naracorte where a series of outstanding caves have been opened up to the public, well worth a day trip. Further south is Mount Gambier, another very interesting area where in an extinct volcano lies the famous blue lake. This lake turns blue at certain times of the year an amazing thing to see.
Picnic areas surround the lakes.
Just north lies the Coonawarra wine producing area where the soils and the skills of the vinigure in this area produce magnificent wines. In the far north is the Flinders Ranges where investigating the gorges with their waterfalls and strange rock formations make for an interesting and exciting camping holiday. The sunsets in this area produce fantastic changes in the colours of the rocks which have to be seen to be believed. Last Modified on Friday 15th.
