South Australia Tips You Must Know

* Book accommodations in Barossa Valley or McLaren Vale months ahead if traveling during grape harvest season (February-April).

* Summer (December-February) offers great weather, but rates may spike near coastal destinations like Glenelg.

* Use public transport in Adelaide, but for rural regions and Kangaroo Island, a rental car is essential.

* Kangaroo Island ferries require advance booking, and some accommodations offer bundled ferry-and-stay deals.
