Journey with our writers as they take you into South Australia\u2019s top 12 emerging travel experiences from our 100 Emerging Destinations and Experiences series.<\/a><\/h5>\n

1. Beneath the surface in Mount Gambier<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong> Carla Grossetti<\/p>\n

When the sun rises over the Kilsby Sinkhole in Mount Gambier on South Australia\u2019s Limestone Coast, it honeys the ribs of the limestone cave and gilds the water as blue as steel. From above, it\u2019s like an aquamarine jewel that deepens and darkens, depending on the sun glancing this way and that throughout the day. While this ancient geographical marvel has been used for recreational diving since the late 1960s, it\u2019s now a core part of operations for the Kilsby family farm, which has been going strong for four generations.<\/p>\n

Access to the site is by booking only, but you can take a tour of the ancient water-filled pool, snorkel or dive beneath its gleaming surface and sample, in situ, the Sinkhole Gin distilled from the aquifer that feeds this karst cavity.<\/p>\n

2. Adelaide\u2019s emerging Inner West<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong> Alexis Buxton-Collins<\/p>\n

The fragrant Afghan soul food at Parwana<\/a> has long drawn Adelaideans to Torrensville and it\u2019s still full every night of the week, even after doubling the floor space. But a spate of recent openings in the neighbourhood has provided plenty of other reasons to head west. Watch the in-house roaster in action while you get your caffeine fix at ultra-hip Elementary Coffee, then wander down to Lenny\u2019s Records where the genial owner specialises in left-of-centre rock, folk and psychedelic music.<\/p>\n

Head further west to Brookie P (aka Brooklyn Park), where the latest ventures from female-fronted hospitality group Sonic Yoni are about to open in the former council chambers; Yellow Matter is an inclusive brewery prioritising accessibility and So Long, Marianne is a menu-less wine bar with degustations that change daily to minimise waste.<\/p>\n

3. Trailblazing in the Southern Flinders Ranges<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:\u00a0<\/strong>Taylah Darnell<\/p>\n

Spanning from the ocean in Port Pirie to the red-dirt plains of Peterborough, South Australia\u2019s Southern Flinders Ranges<\/a> are bursting at the seams with prospect. New mountain-biking trails will open later this year in Mount Remarkable National Park, designed by TrailScapes<\/a> using machinery with minimal environmental impact and in consultation with the Nukunu Wapma Thura (Aboriginal Corporation).<\/p>\n

\"guests

Bask in peace at your wellness retreat.<\/p><\/div>\n

The project has been years in the making and includes the 42-kilometre Epic Mountain Bike Trail. Experience Melrose is taking advantage of the expansion, combining mountain biking with wellness retreats. Stay and play at Jacka Brothers Brewery<\/a> in Melrose, a redeveloped heritage-listed site turned brewhouse that doubles as cosy accommodation, offering panoramic views of the Southern Flinders Ranges.<\/p>\n

4. The rise and rise of Kangaroo Island<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong> Imogen Eveson<\/p>\n

Baillie Lodges has announced that Southern Ocean Lodge<\/a> on Kangaroo Island<\/a>\u2019s wild west coast will reopen in December and anticipations are running high for the re-emergence of the luxury lodge that was razed to the ground in the Black Summer bushfires.<\/p>\n

To stay at Southern Ocean Lodge is to immerse yourself in the South Australian island itself \u2013 whether through the food on your plate or the coastal wilderness that surrounds you \u2013 and its reopening will be a symbolic line in the sand for the community and its regeneration over the past few years. And with the recent launches of other accommodation options that connect guests to the essence of the island, such as Wander on Kangaroo Island and Island Burrow, KI\u2019s tourism game is going from strength to strength.<\/p>\n

5. A backstage pass to the best bits of the Barossa<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong>\u00a0Imogen Eveson<\/p>\n

Having reopened in September last year following a \u2018glamover\u2019 courtesy of new owners Baillie Lodges, Barossa Valley stalwart The Louise<\/a> is looking better than ever and offering guests a backstage pass to the best bits of the South Australian region. And you don\u2019t have to stray far to find them.<\/p>\n

\"a

Cross the road for a drink at Tscharke Wines, where Damien Tscharke is turning Barossa traditions on their head. With his single-minded dedication to organic winemaking and innovative development of grape varietals, Tscharke eschews the traditional cellar door experience in favour of a new wine bar concept, The Protagonist.<\/p>\n

One of the boons of staying at The Louise \u2013 aside from waking in elegant suites to a blanket of vines all around and destination dining at Appellation \u2013 is ready access to in-the-know spots like this, with a passionate team enmeshed in the local community on hand to connect guests to personalised experiences.<\/p>\n

6. See a 10,000-year-old tradition evolving in Goolwa<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong> Alexis Buxton-Collins<\/p>\n

The middens dotting the sandhills around the mouth of the Murray River<\/a> attest to the importance of kuti (pipis) to the Ngarrindjeri people, who have harvested and eaten these plump bivalves for countless generations. And after dismissing them as bait for years, chefs of fine diners are finally cottoning on to their potential. In a small shed flanked by colossal dunes on South Australia\u2019s Fleurieu Peninsula, battered by the winds coming off the Southern Ocean, Kuti Shack<\/a> heroes the tasty molluscs harvested by Ngarrindjeri-owned Kuti Co by serving them in laksas and with decadently rich chilli jam, lemongrass and crusty sourdough.<\/p>\n

Look\u00a0further down the menu and you\u2019ll find all the elements for a sustainable seafood feast with a strong emphasis on local species: think grilled wild-caught Coorong mullet, buttermilk fried mulloway wings and crispy carp belly goujons.<\/p>\n

7. Wine meets sustainability in South Australia<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong> Kate Symons<\/p>\n

Google \u2018Jock Harvey\u2019 and \u2018McLaren Vale<\/a>\u2019 and a defining quality of this community-minded local becomes quickly apparent. Jock wears many hats. As uncovered by the first three Google entries \u2013 McLaren Vale Distillery, Naked Wines and Chalk Hill Viticulture \u2013 he is a drinks guy. Scroll down a little further and there is another, perhaps even more telling, entry: Biodiversity McLaren Vale.<\/p>\n

Co-founded by Jock in 2009, Biodiversity McLaren Vale (BMV) is a hands-on environmental stewardship initiative, run by volunteers and focused primarily on creek-line restoration. Monthly working bees attract scores of committed locals and planting partners include McLaren Vale wine brands Gemtree, Shingleback, Fox Creek, Bec Hardy and Pannell Enoteca.<\/p>\n

As South Australia\u2019s first wine region \u2013 its wine-producing history\u00a0dates to the 1830s \u2013 McLaren Vale is hardly emerging. Yet\u00a0the\u00a0renowned patch, positioned on the Fleurieu Peninsula, has\u00a0reinvented itself of late and is now firmly established as one of the\u00a0country\u2019s most sustainable, not to mention incredible, wine regions.<\/p>\n

According to Wine Australia, McLaren Vale is leading the way in organic practices, water management and climate-appropriate plantings, all key areas of the region\u2019s own Sustainable Australia Winegrowing (SAW) Program. SAW ran from the early 2000s until 2019 at which point 72 per cent of McLaren Vale\u2019s area under vine used the program to assess and improve practices. Thanks to its success, the program informed Sustainable Winegrowing Australia (SWA), which is now the single national program for those committed to sustainable wine.<\/p>\n

\"Interior

Crucial to the region\u2019s success is the presence of like-minded wine folk. \u201cCooperation has become a cultural thing [in McLaren Vale] that\u00a0people want to protect,\u201d says Jock.<\/p>\n

Sustainable winemaking practices are becoming more and more important to the consumer. A new report released by SWA last year found 67 per cent of those surveyed want to purchase only sustainably made wine. It\u2019s no free ride, though. Certifications and credentials can\u2019t\u00a0do much for an average wine, nor your average wine region. Average, McLaren Vale is not.<\/p>\n

There are more than 80 cellar doors in the region, from quaint set-ups such as Samson Tall to established digs such as Wirra Wirra, and\u00a0the show-stopping d\u2019Arenberg Cube, arguably the most impressive wine tourism attraction in the country.<\/p>\n

\"d'Arenberg

The Chalk Hill Collective site, which includes Never Never Distilling Co., Cucina di Strada and some of the best views the region has to offer, is perhaps one of the prettiest spots in the country on which to sit back and sip. Hither & Yon, meanwhile, has cleverly set up shop in Willunga, one of the region\u2019s cute-as-you-like villages. From here, grab a cruiser and set off on the eight-kilometre Shiraz Trail. On Saturdays, the township bustles with the Willunga Farmers Market, the state\u2019s first and still one of the country\u2019s best.<\/p>\n

A grape\u2019s throw away, you\u2019ll find yourself facing pristine coastline, of which McLaren Vale has 30 kilometres. This maritime influence has its impact on the region\u2019s wine, which heavily favours red Mediterranean varieties. Almost, that is, as much as it favours sustainable practices.<\/p>\n

8. A festival for grown-ups in Adelaide<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong>\u00a0Alexis Buxton-Collins<\/p>\n

Harvest Rock is a music festival for people who\u2019ve outgrown dusty mosh pits, long lines at the bar and overflowing loos, drawing crowds in for its rock-star chefs as much as its actual rock stars.<\/p>\n

The inaugural 2022 festival saw headliners such as Jack White, Crowded House and Khruangbin share top billing with arkh\u00e9\u2019s Jake Kellie, who cooked up a feast of flame-grilled share plates paired with wines selected by renowned critic Nick Stock.<\/p>\n

Elsewhere, punters could find natural winemakers hosting tastings and an entire bar devoted to non-alcoholic options. Add to that a central location in the leafy parklands and plenty of space to move around. It\u2019s the perfect festival for people who appreciate a boogie and a good meal but want to wake up feeling good the next morning.<\/p>\n

9. Find new connections at a biodynamic McLaren Vale winery<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong> Alexis Buxton-Collins<\/p>\n

Clusters of juicy shiraz and tempranillo grapes poke out beneath extravagant garlands of leaves as I drive through the vineyard at Gemtree Wines<\/a> to a restored wetland that has been planted with 50,000 trees and shrubs. For custodians Mike and Melissa Brown, this is a labour of love that began when they bought the South Australian property in 1998. For Ngarrindjeri Elder Mark Koolmatrie, the connection goes back far longer.<\/p>\n

\"a

\u201cThis is Kaurna Country, but the same values exist as in Ngarrindjeri Land, which is just over that hill,\u201d he tells our small group on the Wuldi Cultural Experience. \u201cOur people have a concept called ngartji that means everyone has to look after something. It could be a wombat or an emu or a waterway, but if we all play our role, together we look after the planet.\u201d<\/p>\n

High above us, several sleepy rescue koalas are perched in the treetops. But Mark is just as excited about what\u2019s going on at ground level. \u201cThese old logs don\u2019t seem like much, but they create a habitat for beetles and bugs and lizards. And plants that look like weeds might provide food and shelter for a whole range of critters. Everything here plays its role.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"wine

It\u2019s a holistic approach that resonates with the biodynamic winemaking philosophy at Gemtree Wines, where soil, fruit, minerals and even the planets interact in a sublime cosmic dance. As the shadows grow longer, Mark leads us to a shed where glasses are filled with crisp fiano, juicy GSM and peppery shiraz.<\/p>\n

We tuck into platters of food inspired by native ingredients such as crunchy macadamia and desert lime pesto wrapped in warrigal leaves. \u201cLife can get pretty busy and it\u2019s easy to forget what\u2019s important,\u201d Mark says as the conversation steadily grows louder. \u201cBut everything seems simpler when you can get back to nature in a place like this.\u201d<\/p>\n

10. Go remote in the Nuyts Archipelago<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong> Taylah Darnell<\/p>\n

For those seeking their next Australian adventure, a remote and paradisiacal collection of islands await you off the coast of South Australia\u2019s Eyre Peninsula. Be one of only 60 people a year that explore Nuyts Archipelago on a three-night expedition with EP Cruises that accentuates the splendours of this protected marine area in the Great Australian Bight.<\/p>\n

\"Nuyts

Only 60 people a year are lucky enough to visit Nuyts Archipelago.<\/p><\/div>\n

With room for only 10 expeditioners and three crew members, you\u2019ll get a remarkable insight into the islands, beaches, reefs and wildlife that call the Nuyts Archipelago home. The expedition includes all camping and safety gear, a double swag, bathroom and kitchen facilities and rare island experiences such as cliff jumping, swimming with dolphins, birdwatching and nocturnal tours.<\/p>\n

11. Wander the Wild South Coast Way<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong> Alexis Buxton-Collins<\/p>\n

Less than two hours from Adelaide<\/a>, Deep Creek National Park is filled with deep gorges, dappled sclerophyll forests and windswept clifftops looking across the treacherous Backstairs Passage to the rugged coastline of Kangaroo Island<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"Wild

Add in hidden coves ringed by granite boulders covered in orange lichen and the tannin-stained waters of an infamously cold waterfall, and it\u2019s easy to see why the South Australian park is so popular with locals.<\/p>\n

\"Wild

Dappled sclerophyll forests surround the trail. (Image: Heidi Who Photos)<\/p><\/div>\n

But you can avoid the masses by tackling the five-day Wild South Coast Way<\/a> hike that connects Cape Jervis and Victor Harbor via new walk-in campsites, where the only crowds you\u2019re likely to see are mobs of roos grazing on the yacca-studded slopes at sunset.<\/p>\n

\"Wild

As a bonus, download the geo-located National Parks app and you\u2019ll trigger stories from park rangers and Traditional Owners at certain locations along the hike.<\/p>\n

12. Rising above the Murray River<\/h2>\n

Travelling with:<\/strong> Emily Murphy<\/p>\n

Once-in-a-century floods tore through South Australia\u2019s Murray River regions in summer 2022, devastating communities in its wake. Recovery efforts have been fierce, and there\u2019s never been a better time to discover the Riverland and Murray River, Lakes and Coorong regions.<\/p>\n

The Murray River, Lakes and Coorong is ideal for floating downstream on a houseboat, with the sounds of birds as your playlist and the dramatic sunset as your backdrop. Whereas the Riverland has its own unique flow of giant cliffs, wetlands, mallee scrub and is the country\u2019s largest wine-producing region.<\/p>\n
