Road trips in South Australia

One of the most popular trips from South Australia’s capital of Adelaide is to the Barossa Valley. Famous for its wine, small country towns and rural scenery, it is hard to go wrong with this as a first road trip in the state.

For those looking to drive far further, striking north and over the state line into the Northern Territory will bring them to Australia’s “Red Centre” at Alice Springs and Uluru — the heart of the country’s outback. It is a long drive, with at least a week or so recommended to get the most out of the drive.
