*South Australia as you have never seen it before...*
It takes you on a journey across the Nullarbor Plain ..... to the unforgettable cavorting Southern Right Whales at the Head of the Bight ..... along the Eyre Peninsula's wilderness coastline ..... to the turquoise waters surrounding Port Lincoln, Tuna capital of Australia.

To the vast, glistening salt pans of Lake Eyre ..... to Coober Pedy's opal fields, unique underground dwellings and the intriguing Breakaways.

We soar across the huge amphitheatre of Wilpena Pound ..... experience the Pichi Richi Railway, visit Arkaroola and meander through the colourful gorges of the ancient Flinders Ranges.

We follow the mighty Murray as it weaves a magical, silver thread through ever changing scenery along the way. Through towns and ports, that have thrived with the unique irrigation system, that creates a fruit bowl to the world.

We uncover the mystery of the South East ..... the inexplicable changing colours of Mt Gambier's world famous Blue Lake ..... and the spectacular fossil displays of the Naracoorte caves. We visit the charming fishing village of Robe where there is a thriving Cray fish industry ..... and in Penola, the historic stable school founded by Mother Mary MacKillop in line to be proclaimed a Saint.

Another Journey of breathtaking beauty ..... revealing a magnificent landscape of the most startling contrasts ..... South Australia.
