Waterfalls of South Australia

Wine barrels in the Magill Estate's Penfolds Winery


South Australia (SA) is a state known for wineries, festivals (it is known as the "Festival State" after all), and a dry climate. It's not a state where you can expect to see waterfalls. But if you're willing to partake in some well-timed explorations, you'll find a handful of them that are worth your while.

Using the state's capital of Adelaide as a base for seeing some of its best attractions, you can explore pretty areas such as the Morialta Conservation Park, the Fleurieu Peninsula, and Kangaroo Island. Among its impressive and reliable waterfalls is the
Waterfall Gully sitting right on the outskirts of the city.

Unfortunately like in Victoria, our time spent in the spring of 2006 in South Australia just so happened to have followed one of their driest winters on record. Thus, our waterfall experience was adversely impacted and we hope the photos we've presented here are more of an anomaly rather than the rule. Assuming the drought the country is facing isn't permanent, you can probably expect to have a better waterfall viewing experience than what we've encountered.
