Taking the tour of the Barossa Valley in South Australia was one of the best trips that I have ever had. Unfortunately the landscape was a bit bare after the big fires that spread through the country side but the new green growth ender the black ashes was a nice sign to see. The Barossa Valley winery tours are held each day and you can charter a coach or get into one of the group tours to go and taste the wines and see the country side. The tour is a full day but there is plenty to eat and drink along the way so bring some extra money to buy the wines that you like the most.

Adelaide also has one of the very best house boat tours that travel up the rivers for many miles so that you can enjoy the scenery as well as the quiet solitude that you little floating fortress gives you. There are houseboats of various sizes to suit couples, families or large groups depending on what you would like and they are all very luxurious and well designed in comfort and style. Another great way to tour the country is one the train that runs through all of the states. There are several ways to travel around Australia and through the state of South Australia. I like to drive around with a car rental Adelaide airport vehicle so that I don’t miss out on anywhere to stop. Unlike the house boat or the train with a car you can go wherever you please as long as it is on a drivable road.
