South Australia is the driest state in Oz, which just happens to be the driest continent in the world! Adelaide, the capital is a stone's throw from the Great Sandy Dessert and is also surrounded by well known wineries and amazing wilderness areas such as Kangaroo Island and the Eyre Penninsula.

CHECK OUT OUR 1 MIN FOOTAGE OF A CONNECTIONS EXPERIENCE ON KANGAROO ISLAND:
If Aussie wildlife and wilderness are your thing, then Kangaroo Island is definitely for you! Walk among wild sea lions as they doze on the beach. Meet the locals (that's echidnas, fairy penguins, platypus, koalas and the island's own species of kangaroo) in their natural environment, and hike through untouched bush land. Then, relive it all over a glass of fine island wine at the end of the day.
Discover Kangaroo Island with Connections
One third of South Australia's Kangaroo Island is protected as conservation land and national parks, and half the island has never been cleared of native vegetation. You can walk amidst huge weather-sculptured granite boulders at Remarkable Rocks, and roll down the snowy-white sand dunes of Little Sahara.
At 150 kilometres long and 55 kilometres wide, the island is Australia's third largest, after Tasmania and Melville Island, and the perfect size to explore over a couple of days.
| Month | Minimum | Maximum |
|---|---|---|
| Mar.-May | 12.5°C | 22.4°C |
| Jun.-Aug. | 8°C | 15°C |
| Sept.-Nov. | 11.6°C | 21.7°C |
| Dec.-Feb. | 16.5°C | 28.3°C |
Relatively mild conditions are experienced during both summer and winter, typical of the insular character of island climates. At times, cold ocean breezes make windproof clothing necessary, while central areas of the island occasionally experience temperatures of 35°C - 40°C in the summer months.
