To aid you in your travels here are 10 destinations in South Australia perfect for you and your Southern Cross Caravan.
Adelaide Hills
The Adelaide Hills resonates with relaxation. The country roads offer views that will set your mind far from the hustle and bustle of the city.
If you do venture up to the hills, stop in at the German town of Hahndorf. This pretty town has some wonderful little shops. If your trip is around lunch time, visit the German Arms Hotel and ask for The Arms Giant Hot Dog. Just be sure to do a few mouth exercises before eating, it’s that big.

Barossa
As the food and wine capital of the country, Barossa will certainly satisfy your hunger for a well-produced wine.
Being world known, there is a lot to do, to try and to explore within the Barossa. Just make sure you don’t have to leave too early in the morning and pack the panadol.

One thing to do get you started is the Urimbirra Wildlife Experience.

Murray River
Something that you must do in this region is hire a houseboat and spend a while cruising along this country’s most popular river, The Murray. Be reminded of how life was once upon a time, when you see the ever popular paddle steamer coming down the river, or speed things up with a Jet Ski ride on the water.
There is plenty to see and do so the only questions you need to answer are, how long do we stay and where do we start.

Yorke Peninsula
The Yorke Peninsula is where you will find the Moonta Mines Museum. This museum displays the Cornish miner’s lifestyle and is packed with cultural history.
