Spectacular coastlines, vibrant marine life and iconic outback landscapes

South Australia enjoys the distinction of being Australia's first freely settled state. Perhaps that's one reason why our guests find it such a liberated, vibrant and culturally diverse place. Or maybe it's just the abundance of festivals and fine wines that give it such a carefree atmosphere.

What also makes South Australia so unique are its stunning natural landscapes. There’s the grandeur of the Flinders Ranges and Wilpena Pound, a magnificent natural Amphitheatre. Further north, there’s the spectacular Kati Thanda - Lake Eyre National Park, Australia’s largest salt-lake and the 13th largest lake in the world. Offshore lies beautiful Kangaroo Island, a sanctuary for Sea Lions and Fur Seals and home to the Remarkable Rocks.

There’s simply so much to see in South Australia, and Outback Spirit’s award-winning adventure tours are the best way to do it.

End of tour.

We had the best time – saw so much majestic country, had such a fantastic guide in Steve and really enjoyed being with the rest of the group. It was a sensational tour, so much to appreciate. We just need a little help to hope there will be a future for all creatures, them and us. And it seemed like this could be a tour that offered a glimpse into a future, along with its gaze into an amazing past. - July 2022

Just to let you know how much we enjoyed the Coober Pedy/Lake Eyre tour. We were blessed with almost perfect weather, a lovely group of fellow travellers (just 9 of us) and a wonderful tour guide in Steve. The experiences we had have made it a trip of a lifetime so I wanted to thank you for all your help in organising it. We will certainly recommend you to anyone we can. - September 2022

South Australia has a deep Aboriginal history with many ancient intersecting trade routes running through the state. A cluster of historic colonial towns, such as Peterborough, Clare and Burra can be found close to each other in the south of the state between the Flinders Ranges National park and Adelaide.

The south eastern coastline has a warm Mediterranean climate around Yorke and Eyre peninsulas , and houses much of the state’s inhabited region. The climate transitions to a hotter desert landscape as you head further north or west into the Australian outback. One of the main geographic features of the state includes the limestone coast of the Great Australian Bight which can be found along the state’s south coast on the Southern Ocean. This provides the traveller with stunning coastal scenery. The sparse Nullarbor Plain (from the Latin for no trees) lies in the state’s west, while the great Murray River in the east, flows through some of the more temperate and fertile parts of the state. The Eyre Peninsula tour highlights the wildlife of the area, such as the Australian sea lion. South Australia is also well known as an important Australian wine region, with areas such as the Barossa Valley , Clare Valley , and the Adelaide Hills all producing some of the most notable Australian wines. These regions also provide an opportunity for those wishing to experience a wine tasting on a wine tour .

South Australia is also famous for the opal mining town of Coober Pedy with its active opal field and opal mines. The interest of the opal mines is supplemented by curiosities such as the underground hotel, designed to combat the often excessive summer heat of outback South Australia. It is common to visit Coober Pedy on the road to Alice Springs . To the east of South Australia is Oodnadatta and Lake Eyre. Lake Eyre has a massive catchment area, but is often dry. It is home to abundant wildlife, but only after a wet year. The magnificent Flinders Ranges with Wilpena Pound , north of Adelaide, is a renowned tourist attraction.

South Australia ‘s earliest history traces back to its Indigenous people , with a history that predates European colonization in the region by at least 40,000 years. Aboriginal settlement is thought to have begun on the continent as early as 125,000 years ago , making its way gradually south. The arrival of Aboriginal people in South Australia 49,000 years ago was confirmed by the discovery of artefacts and fossils 2016 at Warratyi, in the Flinders ranges. These finds place the arrival of Aboriginal people much earlier than had previously been thought.

The first European contact in the region came in the year 1624, with Dutch explorer François Thijssen coming across Australi a’s southern shore after straying off course on his route to Batavia in the Dutch East Indies. He made it as far as Nuyts Archipelago , just north of the Eyre Peninsula, before eventually heading back. Despite this early contact, more prolonged European contact would not come about until 1836, a full 212 years later. Building on Matthew Flinders ‘ legacy, namely the mapping and circumnavigation of the Australia n Continent, the colonization of South Australia began, with the passage of the South Australia Act in British Parliament in the year 1834. Unlike other Australia n colonies, such as those in New South Wales, and Van Diemen’s Land (Tasmania), the South Australia Act specifically forbade the transportation of convicts and use of convict labour in establishing the colony, instead touting the colony as one embodying humanist values, and promoting political, religious, and economic freedoms.

In 1836, after an eight month voyage across the globe, the first settlers, in nine ships, reached Kangaroo Island off the coast of South Australia . Kangaroo Island was used by the settlers as an initial base while surveys of the mainland were conducted, searching to find a suitable location to establish the colony. Eventually the land around the Adelaide plains was decided as the site, and settlement of the mainland began in earnest. Following a tumultuous few decades, characterized by land speculation, bankruptcy, and a labour shortage caused by gold rushes in other states, South Australia eventually became a self governing colony in the year 1856. The new state had its own constitution, one that was for the time, very progressive, guaranteeing the male right to vote, as well as suffrage for propertied women.

South Australia grew economically in the ensuing years, developing thriving industries in wool, wheat, copper and wine, with immigrants coming from across Europe, particularly Germany, bringing with them their skills and expertise. South Australia joined with the rest of the Commonwealth of Australia in 1901, when the country officially became a Federation, and from then continued to grow, with its mining sector, in particular, thriving with discoveries of gold, silver, and uranium. Though South Australia has grown at a slower rate than most other Australia n states, it remains a progressive and forward thinking state, historically adopting social justice legislation years before other states, as well as currently being Australia ‘s leader in renewable energy.

Travelling to South Australia

A guided tour of South Australia as part of an South Australian outback tour can offer an experience that is rich in the states natural, and gastronomic heritage, with travellers on a South Australian tour able to enjoy the iconic limestone coast , the rugged outback beauty, and the verdant wine country that give southern Australia its distinctive character. Odyssey has developed a number of tours to South Australia, suitable for seniors, whether couples or solo travellers, that provide an itinerary for the traveller to see and learn about the deep Aboriginal history and the more recent colonial history while experiencing the dramatic landscape and culture that has shaped South Australia .

A good place to begin a tour to South Australia would be the state’s capital, Adelaide . Adelaide is home to more than three-quarters of the state’s population, this quasi city-state is the hub of commercial and cultural life in the state, bustling with theatres, museums , cafes and restaurants. While in Adelaide travellers might like to include the South Australian Art Gallery, which houses one the largest art museum collections in Australia. You can take a tour with an experienced guide, attend an artist talk or plot your own course. An unusual feature of the gallery is the William Morris Adelaide collection, the world’s second largest Morris collection after London’s V&A. This is an arts and crafts collection of William Morris ‘ wallpaper, stained glass windows, furniture, textiles and ceramics. These excellent, iconic works reflect handmade craftsmanship of decorative art from the nineteenth century. The South Australian Museum and the Royal Botanic gardens are also well worth a visit. If you come at the right time of year you may even be able to catch the Royal Adelaide Show, which is held annually and features an agricultural show as well as shops, fun fairs, and rides. For those looking for a short trip from the city, an ideal spot for a day tour is to the beautiful Adelaide Hills. The Adelaide Hills is a cool wine region just 20 minutes drive from the capital, growing predominantly Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay, Pinot Noir, and Shiraz varieties. Its altitude, ranging between 150-700m above sea level, gives the region a cooler and wetter climate than the surrounding region, making it ideal for viticulture and wine tasting while just a stone’s throw from Adelaide city.

Continuing on the theme of a wine tour , some other popular South Australian wine regions include the McLaren Vale , found on the stunning Fleurieu Peninsula , the Clare Valley , and of course the most famous among them, the historic Barossa Valley . The Barossa Valley , in particular, is synonymous internationally with Australian wine, with some of the country’s most famous, and prolific producers having their homes in the region. The history of the Barossa Valley goes back to the period of German settlement in the mid 19th century, the legacy of which can still be seen in the historic architecture of many of the region’s Lutheran style churches, as well as the towns’ names such as Langmeil and Krondorf. The settlers, often escaping religious persecution in their home countries, were mostly from the fertile Silesian region and brought with them vine clippings with which to begin production, thus bringing centuries of accumulated wisdom and viticulture knowledge to Australian shores. With such a rich and storied heritage, a day tour or visit to the Barossa Valley , or some of South Australia ‘s other winery‘s and regions, is both a fantastic way to learn about the heritage of the state, as well as a thoroughly enjoyable wine tasting experience .

For a more rugged experience of outback South Australia suitable for older travellers, heading south to Kangaroo Island , or venturing north through the Flinders Range into the deep outback, is a great way to fully experience the scale and brutal beauty the larger part of the state has to offer. While not as quintessentially ‘ outback ‘ as the Flinders and beyond, Kangaroo Island is a good place to start for a delve into the natural heritage of South Australia. Kangaroo Island is the third largest island in Australia , after Tasmania and Melville Island, and is home to numerous conservation parks for its endemic wildlife, and rich marine ecosystem. A popular destination for travellers to Kangaroo Island is Flinders Chase National Park , where you can spot much of the island‘s wildlife, as well as its remarkable rocks, shaped by the unique environmental conditions on the island .

Delving deeper into the outback proper, head north from Adelaide city, past Port Augusta until you come upon the Flinders Ranges. The Flinders Ranges National Park marks the gateway into the real Australian outback, running all the way from the South Australian coast to Lake Eyre 600km north. The fascinating indigenous history of the Aboriginal people, impressive geological features, colossal scale, and abundant native wildlife, make the 95,000 hectare ‘Ikara’ Flinders Ranges National Park one of South Australia ‘s most popular tourist destinations, with locations such as Wilpena Pound being truly awe inspiring in their enormous scale. Past the Flinders you’ll eventually make your way to Lake Eyre National Park , surrounded by flat desert as far as the eye can see, Lake Eyre is a rare outback jewel. At 15.2m below sea level, Lake Eyre is the lowest point of the Australian mainland, as well as the largest saltwater lake in the country. Though it only ever fills completely about twice a century, it will often be at least partially filled, attracting birdlife from countless kilometres around and aweing the senses with the scale of this stark landscape. While on an outback tour of South Australia, there are plenty of towns and stops along the way that help give an outback tour with a tour guide, its distinct vibrancy and character. To this end, some towns to consider along your route could include Woomera , Coober Pedy , Oodnadatta , Maree , Burra , Farina , or Curdimurka . Stops along the way also provide a great introduction to some of South Australia‘s other outback adventures, such as the Strzelecki Track , or the Gawler Range .

South Australia ‘s southern shore, and the limestone cliffs around the Great Australia n Bight are as iconic an Australi an landmark as the Sydney Opera House or Uluru, and a must see stop on any South Australia n tour. To this end, one of the best places to take in Australi a ‘s rich southern shores is on a guided tour to the Eyre Peninsula. Located due west of Adelaide on the other side of the Spencer Gulf, the Eyre Peninsula is home to some of South Australia ‘s best coastal landscapes, and is particularly notable for its white sand beaches, and rich marine ecosystem. This marine abundance makes the Eyre Peninsula a popular destination for eco-tourism, with activities like cage diving with the infamous great white shark attracting the curious and daring alike. Aside from the occasional shark, you’ll also find Australia n fur seals, dolphins, whales, and giant cuttlefish , the latter of which congregate in huge numbers to breed annually around the Spencer Gulf. Lincoln National Park is another great spot to take in the Peninsula ‘s natural beauty. Found just south of the town of Port Lincoln , the National Park has plentiful tracks ideal for a guided walking tour, as well as beaches, caves, and spectacular views of the cerulean blue seas. Heading about an hour away from Port Lincoln , you can also find Cummings Monument. Similar to the T welve Apostles , this towering limestone stack rises majestically from the ocean, and makes for one of the best photo opportunities for travellers to the Eyre Peninsula .

Though Odyssey’s portfolio of small group tours for seniors will also take you into the Adelaide hills on the Adelaide tour, to experience Flinders Ranges attractions such as Wilpena pound, or to visit Marree , Lake Eyre, Oodnadatta, the Strzelecki Track or William Creek, you might like to take one of Odyssey’s longer tours into the outback of South Australia.

One of the best way to experience what South Australia has to offer is with a small group tour. Odyssey specialises in this kind of tour , offering an engaged and intimate tour of South Australia ideal for seniors, solo travellers , and couples heading to Australia and, particularly, South Australia .

Touring South Australia

The need to know

Getting around

The Odyssey travel experience is a modern coach tour and occasionally uses local transport, including trains and ferries to enable the itinerary to be meet. Specifics for your South Australia tours are always outlined in your tour itinerary.

If you are booking an seniors small group outback tour of South Australia or Australia in general, be ready to ask about emergency and life safety procedures in the Outback. You are travelling in an extremely inhospitable environment. A reputable tour operator will have a life safety plan/equipment list for touring the desert.

Domestic flights and cross country bus services are widely available. Flying remains the preffered method of traversing Outback Australia . The train services are somewhat more limited in terms of transportation coverage, though remain a comfortable and very scenic way of getting around outback Australia and South Australia . South Australia is the start and end in Adelaide of the Ghan linking the South Australia outback through to the Northern Territory and Darwin.

If choosing one of the Adelaide vacation programs , then a mix of private coach and public transport is used as well as short comfortable walks to explore the city’s popular destinations such as the Adelaide botanic garden, the museum, and art gallery which are all close to the Adelaide city centre .

Accommodation

Odyssey’s seniors travel groups typically stay in centrally located 3-4 star hotels, with easy access to public transport and local amenities to keep the tour price sharp. The hotels are chosen for location and cleanliness and so you in your down time you can enjoy the city like the locals whether as a couple or solo traveler. For all our escorted tour programs there is a single supplement.

On the outback Australia tours in the South Australia tours accommodation remains limited. North of the Flinders range and Coober Pedy (Cooper pedy) accommodation in places such at Mt Dare or Oodnadatta is very limited and should be considered as part of your Outback Australia experience with outback hospitality to be enjoyed. Marree South Australia is a stopover destination at the end of the Oodnadatta track (the other end is Marla) and the Birdsville track with a historic Marree hotel stay with its historic dining rooms paying tribute to John Stuart and the mailman are a treat.

Tour guides

Odyssey as a reputable tour operator (est 1983) always engages locals as guides with regional knowledge to ensure an authentic experience on a guided tour during which you can learn as much as possible about the history and cultural experiences of the places you visit.The local guide is supported by a tour leader who manges a group size of upto 15 people on tha small group adventure . For example descendants of the Adnyamathanha people provide local leadership in the Ikara Flinders ranges and Wilpena, Brachina gorge and Bunyeroo gorge region, both on the touring coach and on a guided Aboriginal cultural walks in the ancient landscape of the remnant of the mountain range, that today is considered to be one of the earth’s oldest landscapes. The small group tour along the unsealed road known as the Oodnadatta track, a cultural tour looking at the colonial history dominated by the railway to Alice Springs that includes time in Marree SA, learning about Afghan Cameleers, (the Afghan camel drivers) as well as the Ghan railway.

Geography, Environment, & Weather

Australia comprises a land area of about 7.692 million square kilometres.

Although this is just five per cent of the world’s land mass (149.45 million square kilometres), Australia is the planet’s sixth largest country after Russia, Canada, China, the United States of America and Brazil. It is also the only one of the largest six nations that is completely surrounded by water.

Australia is the smallest of the world’s continents. It is also the lowest, the flattest and (apart from Antarctica) the driest.

Due to the size of the country, Australia has several different climate zones. The northern section of Australia has a more tropical climate, hot and humid in the summer, and quite warm and dry in the winter, while the southern parts are cooler with mild summers and cool, sometimes rainy winters.

Festivals & Events

One of the highlights on a tour of Adelaide is definitely the annual Adelaide Festival , which is held early March each year.

Eating & Drinking

Australians love their food and this nation is built on a strong history of migration so it’s no wonder that we’ve become famous to the culinary world for our ‘fusion’ food. English and northern European cooking styles have been a part of Australian food since colonisation. Then in the 1970s many Asian cuisines including Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Japanese and Indian began to influence the Australian food landscape, as well as the many southern European and Middle Eastern influences such as Spanish, Balkan, Hungarian, Turkish and Lebanese.

Australians are the second largest beer drinkers in the world! Our beer is essentially a cold lager with a strength of around 5 per cent and the list of breweries is endless, including Tooheys, Carlton Draught, Coopers, Boags, Cascade (which is also the oldest that’s still operating), Hahn, James Squire, Victoria Bitter, Emu Export and Little Creatures.

With many great wine regions on the doorsteps of Australia’s largest capital cities, the international reputation of Australian wine has never been greater, currently being the fourth largest exporter of wine worldwide at around 750 million litres per year.

Health & Safety

Generally speaking, South Australia is safe to travel in even as a mature solo traveller, though always exercise common sense while travelling. When preparing an outback Australia small group tour for seniors, seasonal road conditions are a crucial part for this tour company in its planning work as well as contingency planning for unexpected events in a desert environment on any small group journey .

Electrical Supply

Whenever you travel on your holidays for solo travellers over 60 Australia , it’s always wise to take an appropriate travel adaptor. The electricity supply in Australia runs at 230V and 50Hz. Australia uses the Type I electric plug, so make sure you have the right travel adaptor with you.

The best of South Australia

Flinders Ranges

Within the Ikara Flinders ranges for small group escorted tours for seniors your local Aboriginal guide presents the story of one of Earth's oldest landscapes in this extraordinary landscape with its heavily eroded mountain range, unique fauna and wildlife including the Yellow footed rock Wallaby. An animal recovering from almost extinction to often be seen in the national park whether on a walking trail or in the touring coach close to dusk. Parts of the Flinders ranges attractions is the abundant wildlife, creating a wilderness sanctuary to explore. The extraordinary landscapes are reflected in the rocky gorges such as the acclaimed ancient gorges visited included Brachina gorge, Rawnsley bluff, Wilpena pound, parachilna gorge and Bunyeroo gorge or Aroona Valley. This is truly spectacular scenery and abundant wildlife in Outback South Australia that is not repeated on other Australian outback tours.

Eyre Peninsula

Bounded by the wilds of the Southern Ocean to the south and west, and the calm waters of the Spencer Gulf, the Eyre Peninsula South Australia is ‘Australia’s seafood frontier’, the wild ‘far west coast‘.

Barossa Valley

The Barossa is among Australia’s most historic wine districts, associated with winemaking since European colonisers first reached South Australia in 1836. Even before settlement, the German mineralogist Johannes Menge had reported back to the South Australia that the fertile area north of Adelaide would support ‘vineyards and orchards and immense fields of corn which are matchless in the colony’.

Responsible travel tips for Australia

My Australian friend and I had been desperately looking for a guided tour along the Great Ocean Road with some comfort, as we didn’t want to join one of these backpacker tours offered by all other tour operators. In the end I found this one in the catalog of a large German travel company, and we booked it. We were not disappointed.

Elizabeth Burman

I was visiting friends in Adelaide from the UK and as my first visit to Australia wanted to fit in as much as possible. I decided to fly into Melbourne, have a couple of days sightseeing and then take this tour on route to Adelaide. What an amazing time I had!! There were 7 of us in total and by the time we reached the start of the Ocean Road we were already beginning to feel relaxed and enjoy a lovely atmosphere on the bus.

Pete Hutton

The Great Ocean Road was a must for my wife and I, my wife trawled through numerous sites to find the right one for us. Great ocean road and beyond was perfect. Steve the driver/ guide was excellent and knowledgeable, the scenery was stunning and the accommodation every night was brilliant. I would definitely recommend these guy's.

Todd Hartles

You really do a lot on this tour over the 4 days, but highlights for me were visiting the 12 Apostles first thing in the morning on the 2nd day when there were only a scattering of other people, and also Tower Hill, where we were able to learn about Aboriginal history, handle genuine Aboriginal artefacts, eat bush tucker and throw a Boomerang (Thanks Paul). There’s so much included on this tour, and like the name suggests, really does go Beyond the Great Ocean Road.

Fran Kristafor

The mini coach was very comfortable with big windows to see all the beautiful scenery along the great ocean road and the rest of the journey. Steve our tour guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about all the places we visited and looked after us very well. I can honestly say we loved everything about this tour.
