Mount Lofty Summit is the highest peak closest to Adelaide and is in the Mount Lofty Ranges. At 710.1 metres above sea level it has spectacular panoramic views over Adelaide to the sea. Definitely worth the drive.
McLaren Vale is one of Australia’s renowned wine regions, famous for producing some the best wines in the world – a few of which were sampled by us. With some beautiful country side to see and some excellent wineries to visit, a day in the region is a must when visiting Adelaide.
Cape Bauer forms part of the Great Australian Bight and is around 15 klm from Streaky Bay. The scenery along this section of the ‘Bight’ is simply stunning with 60 metre cliffs towering above the Southern Ocean, which presents some amazing photo opportunities.
The Great Australian Bight stretches 200 km west of Ceduna in South Australia and follows the coast to the Western Australian border. It is said to be the longest line of towering sea cliffs in the world. Simply spectacular scenery.
Nullarbor Links is the longest golf course in the world. It covers 1365 kilometres and crosses two states. It begins and ends in the goldmining town of Kalgoorlie in Western Australia and the coastal town of Ceduna in South Australia. The course is a rugged outback-style natural terrain fairway.
90 Mile Straight is reportedly the longest straight road in the world and is situated on the Eyre Highway, which runs across the Nullarbor Plain in Australia’s south west. While you get the occasional breathtaking view of the coast line and the Great Australian Bight, there are many kilometres of nothing but flat and relatively uninteresting terrain. Fuel planning is important as the towns/road houses are over two hundred kilometres apart and you can pay up to $1.80 per litre.
