Pristine coastlines, rugged mountain ranges, and mind-boggling geological formations – discovering South Australia’s natural wonders is an entire journey in itself.
If adventuring in the great outdoors is your idea of a good time, then pack your bag for South Australia. This adventure comes with a warning though… you may never want to leave!
Greenly Beach
Among the many pockets of bliss along the Eyre Peninsula, Greenly Beach is a standout for its crystal clear waters and fascinating rock pools. Just a mere hour’s drive from Port Lincoln, this stretch of beach is a popular surfing spot and the perfect place to wade in the stunning turquoise waters or explore diverse marine life occupying a litany of rock pools.

Kilsby Sinkhole
Head south from Adelaide to Mount Gambier and discover the unique, geological wonder of Kilsby Sinkhole. A working sheep farm is not the first place you’d think of when you think of world-class scuba diving sites, however, the Kilsby Sinkhole is just that.
What was once a simple watering hole, has become an amazing natural formation that rivals the cenotes of Mexico. You can take a tour of the sinkhole and learn about its compelling history, snorkel in the glass-like water or take the full plunge and go diving and experience its famous beams of light.

Umpherston Sinkhole
While you’re in Mount Gambier, be sure to pay a visit to the mystical Umpherston Sinkhole. The sinkhole is the result of a collapsed limestone cave and has serious Alice in Wonderland vibes. You could be mistaken for thinking you’ve fallen down the rabbit hole as you meander through the lusciously green oasis. You can even bring a picnic lunch and have your own Mad Hatters tea party!
