Let's Explore South Australia

Although I don't have children, I understand how difficult it can be to find ways to keep the whole family entertained on holiday. Adelaide is filled with family-friendly activities - many of which can be done on a budget!  So here is a list of kid-friendly activities. Read it, share it with others and enjoy!!   Popeye cruise Take a leisurely sightseeing cruise down the River Torrens.

On today's agenda, we will discuss some of the top spots to visit on the Limestone Coast - Many of which are located in my hometown, Mount Gambier. UMPHERSTON SINKHOLE  One of my personal favourite places to visit when I travel back home is seeing this beautiful sunken garden. Stunning views from the platforms at the top of the sinkhole, but immerse yourself walking down into the sinkhole, within the hanging vines and garden beds. Plenty of room to bring a picnic rug or utilise the BBQ facilities within the sinkhole. If you find yourself there at dusk - you'll see some of the local colony of possums (they enjoy being fed fruit - no bread!).  The Umpherston Sinkhole was once a limestone cave formed by the erosion of limestone rock by sea waves and formed naturally as the roof of the cave collapsed. Being located just a few minutes off the main streets of Mount Gambier, the cave is super accessible and is open 24/7.  MOUNT GAMBIER BLUE LAKE  With its vibrant blue ...

With Adelaide being the capital of South Australia, it's often the first place that people think of when visiting South Australia. With Adelaide's reputation as a laid-back, cosmopolitan city, it's easy to enjoy. But one of the most attractive things about Adelaide is that it is the gateway to many of South Australia's best destinations.  With South Australia's relatively compact size, from only a few hours out of the city, you can experience world-class wine regions, beautiful beaches, diverse wildlife, historical sites, and much more! These destinations are as much diverse as they are beautiful and are not to be overlooked!  1. Barossa Valley Barossa Valley really does live up to its well-renowned name of being Australia's most well-known wine region. With over 150 wineries in the Barossa and about 80 cellar doors, there is plenty of wine experiences to be enjoyed. But wine isn't all that Barossa Valley has to offer. There are historic villages and picture...

 Hello everyone and welcome to the Explore SA blog! I am very excited to share my love for the beautiful state of South Australia and to show you what's on offer! This week, I will share some of my favourite spots to grab a bite to eat (or drink) in the Adelaide CBD and surrounds! Sitlo Located in 3 spots in the CBD, Sitlo, a traditional Vietnamese restaurant is a must-try spot! From specialty handmade Steam Buns (Baos) to Banh Mi, Pho, and my favourite noodle bowls, Sitlo is guaranteed to stand out with its fresh and fashionable atmosphere. Picture: Sitlo Every time I've gone to Sitlo, whether it's for lunch, dinner or even a small midday snack, I'm always excited for my next visit.
