INVENTIVE RESTAURANTS
Where there is great wine, there is also great food, and
South Australia has both in spades. Adelaide itself has
many hot spots including Orana, serving star chef Jock
Zonfrillo’s Aboriginal-inspired cuisine, and the hip,
African-infl uenced Africola, led by head chef Duncan
Welgemoed. Beyond the city, experience locally sourced
food at places like Hentley Farm in the Barossa, where
head chef Lachlan Colwill cooks with produce culled from
the farm and from local foraging spots, and the Prairie
Hotel’s Flinders Feral Food, which serves adventurous
outback fare like kangaroo mett wurst and emu pâté.
DON’T MISS: Th e Hunt and Gather Seafood Safari
with Goin’ Off Safaris. Together with your guide, you’ll
snorkel for abalone, collect cockles, and fi sh from shore
before cooking up dinner on the spot.
THE OUTBACK & BEYOND
Although the Outback spans the country, this incredible
red-dirt wonderland is particularly accessible from
Adelaide. Just a one-hour fl ight (or a 4.5-hour drive) will
put you in the vicinity of the real-deal Outback of the
Flinders Ranges, which abound with wildlife, Aboriginal
history, and ancient rock formations including the
breathtaking Wilpena Pound. Or, get a taste of mining life
by venturing north to Coober Pedy, the world’s largest
opal mining site, where half the town dwells underground
due to the extreme heat. If wildlife is your game, head to
Kangaroo Island, a “zoo without fences” that’s home to
kangaroos, koalas, sea lions, and birds galore all just a
20-minute fl ight from Adelaide.
DON’T MISS: Th e Eyre Peninsula and Port Lincoln.
Amid this aquatic playground, you can swim with seals or
(if you’re brave) cage dive with great white sharks. Seafood
lovers: Tour an oyster farm (complete with hip-waders)
in Coffi n Bay.
