The South Australian capital of Adelaide is set on the southeast coast of the state and makes for a great base for a few days of exploring the state by hire car.
Aside from the city’s historic attractions, it is also within easy driving distance of the Adelaide Hills and the famous wine growing region of the Barossa Valley. Further afield, Kangaroo Island is a favourite among visitors, while if you’re looking for something more rugged, the Flinders Ranges might appeal.
