PLATINUM
When taking time out of your busy convention schedule, don’t forget to enjoy the wide range of activities that Adelaide offers.
Perfectly positioned Adelaide, perched between white sandy beaches and forested hills, is home to some of the country’s best cultural offerings,
not to mention gourmet wining and dining. The Barossa Valley is just 60km from the capital, bursting with vineyards and tipples. Slightly further
is Naracoorte Caves National Park, where fossils and underground wonders have combined to make it SA’s only World Heritage-listed site.
Adelaide is just a cycle away from native bushland hiking in the Mt Lofty Ranges. The city makes an excellent base for trips into the nearby
wine regions, surf lessons on the Fleurieu Peninsula and hikes through the wildlife lair of Kangaroo Island.
