Is Adelaide Your Next Holiday Destination?

The Adelaide to Whitsundays flights have been operating since early September and the new route is making it easier for people in the Burdekin region to travel down to South Australia and explore the wonders it has to offer.

CEO of Whitsunday Coast Airport Craig Turner said this new destination makes reaching capital cities more accessible for people here in North Queensland.

“Living in regional North Queensland, distance is a challenge for people. So, to be able to have connectivity to places like Adelaide is great,” said Craig.

“You have cost effective and convenient flights to capital city destinations that make Australia a lot smaller,” said Craig.

“It is about offering a different experience for example going to enjoy a fire and some beautiful red wine from the Barossa in winter.

“Or go and see the seals down at Kangaroo Island!”

Adelaide is known as the City of Churches, but more excitingly, it is known for its wine regions, dining and great events year-round.

In late summer, 21 February – 23 March the Adelaide streets are bustling with excitement as everyone takes advantage of the warm evenings and fantastic shows. International and world-renowned comedians, magicians, cabaret artists, and many more make the Fringe Festival an experience like no other and something all Adelaideans look forward to every year.

For lovers of food Adelaide offers Tasting Australia in early May. It’s a celebration of food and a unique eating and drinking experience that only South Australia can offer.

In cold July many would think Adelaideans are hiding inside trying to stay warm, but this is not true. In July Illuminate Adelaide shines bright across the city, giving locals and travellers a winter festival filled with light, art, music and technology. It is a great activity for all ages and a nice atmosphere, that is similar of the Fringe festival.

South Australia is known globally for its exceptional wine regions. The Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale and the Barossa, deliver amazing wines. The d’Arenberg cube is a unique cellar door with food, art, wine tastings and experiences that make it a must visit destination.

Cricket and AFL enthusiasts will love Adelaide Oval for its exceptional match day atmosphere that is unrivalled. Take advantage of the amazing RoofClimb where you can see the sparkling city lights or the blue sky, and why not time your RoofClimb whilst a game is on?
