Adelaide as a start
Adelaide is a starting point from the journey to the outback. It’s a little sweet city, that worth to spend at least one day to visit the fruits and vegetables market, Chinatown, the botanic garden with multicolored birds taking bath in water fountain, listen at thestreet musical artist.

Flinder Ranges
On your way to the outback, spend one night at the hostel in Angorichina Village. This is an old hospital, build initially to host soldiers coming back from the war. During one of this numerous stories, our crazy lovely tour guide Steve, explained us that this place is haunted. Look at the picture in the living room… You can spend sometimes to go hiking around the area in the Blinman Pools, see some waterfalls and meet some local wild animals.
On the way to north, there is other recommended stop: Mutations Park, Farina, Lake Eyers, William Creek…
Coober Peddy, the city of Opal mine, where a lot of houses, hotel, bars have been built in the shafts. Spend overnight there and get a beer underground. If you have a chance, you could visit an underground house with an underground swimming pool.
