The Nullarbor
9
Day Adelaide to Perth - Crossing the Nullarbor is
a mind blowing experience. The vast distance of 2800 km between
the two cities of Adelaide and Perth makes for one of the world's
greatest road journeys. In some places the road runs very close
to the edge of the continent and to stand there looking at the
Great Australian Bight is an awesome "end of the world"
feeling, there are caves to explore, outback pubs and historic
ruins and remains of the days when whaling was an industry along
here.
You can drive it yourself and burn a lot of petrol or book on
a 9 day camping adventure, more

Wine tasting
The Barossa Valley

A visit to Adelaide without a visit to at least
one wine growing region would be like going to north Queensland
without seeing the Great Barrier Reef. The city is surrounded
by wine growing country where you can spend some very enjoyable
days discovering the many top quality wines, and what better way
to do it than to book on a tour where the busdriver will get you
safely home again after a hard day's sampling. There's a variety
of tours to choose from;
Adelaide

Valley small group touring
