It's no surprise that Australia's richest landscape art prize is staged on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Visit the beautiful hills that sweep down to sun-drenched sandy beaches. Wineries, orchards and pastures are patch-worked between bushland and roads that lure you to cellar doors.
It's all on Adelaide's doorstep, the wine capital of Australia.
Jump in the car. Travel south on the Fleurieu Way and in about an hour you'll be swimming, surfing, hiking or fishing on long, sandy beaches.
Drive straight down the coast to dive on the former warship HMAS Hobart at Yankallila Bay. Tackle a section of the 1500 kilometre Heysen Trail at Cape Jervis. Weave your way through the dense bushland of Deep Creek Conservation Park.
Further around the coast is Victor Harbor, South Australia's most popular seaside town. Ride on the horse-drawn tram to Granite Island, the historic Cockle steam train or watch whales playing offshore during winter. Travel south-east to the pretty river port of Goolwa, Hindmarsh Island, the mighty Murray River mouth and Coorong National Park.
All over the peninsula you’ll find seriously good wine and some great restaurants, produce outlets and markets, enough to break even the strictest diet. McLaren Vale is the most popular wine region. You'll also enjoy the Southern Fleurieu, Currency Creek and Langhorne Creek.
At Blessed Cheese, on the main street of McLaren Vale, you can start the McLaren Vale Wine and Cheese Trail. You can pop in and pick up a cheese platter to enjoy at one of the local wineries. One word - bliss. (If you have time, book into one of their home cheese making workshops).
French Connection - among the first travellers to South Australia's coast were explorers Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin. Although their respective nations, England and France, were at war at the time of their encounter in 1802, the pair peacefully went about their business mapping the southern coast of Australia. The name is thanks to Baudin, honouring French politician, Comte de Fleurieu. Learn more about the historic meeting at Victor Harbor's Encounter Coast Discovery Centre.
