Heroes and Heroines
The people who lead the way when it comes to those things which matter to us: exploration, the environment, women’s empowerment and education.
South Australia and The Southern Outback
Beyond the heritage architecture and bustling food markets of Adelaide lie vast outback landscapes, lush vineyards and abundant wildlife.
South Australia is a land of extreme contrasts, from arid cattle grazing country, to the wild coastline of the Eyre Peninsula and the environmentally diverse Kangaroo Island.
South Australia’s outback covers 80% of the state yet is home to just 1% of its population. The Flinders and Gawler Ranges offer a chance to get off grid and escape the world before sampling world-class wines amidst the vineyards of the Barossa and Clare Valleys. Meanwhile the rugged coastal waters play host to a wealth of marinelife including seals, dolphin and whales.
Kangaroo Island
Buffeted by the waves of the Southern Ocean, Kangaroo Island boasts some of Australia’s most spectacular coastline and a wildlife population protected from the predations of introduced species. A mix of small townships, rural land and wilderness, Australia’s third-largest island offers some of the best wildlife viewings in the country.
Flinders Ranges
The Flinders Ranges offers some of the most accessible and spectacular outback scenery in Australia, with a long Aboriginal history and ancient fossil sites. Staying on an outback sheep station is the perfect way to experience this area. On the grasslands of the ranges, you can witness one of Australia’s greatest wildlife spectacles when great mobs of kangaroos and emus dot the steppes and springtime brings a profusion of wildflowers to the region.
Eyre Peninsula
The Eyre Peninsula, ringed by the Southern Ocean, boasts 2,000 kilometres of wild and unpopulated coastline, and wildlife as unique and varied as the landscape. Pods of dolphins, sometimes over a hundred strong, are visible from the cliff tops while the shallows of Baird Bay provide a remarkable wildlife experience where guests have the chance to join wild sea lions and dolphins in the water.

Clare Higginson
It was my passion for languages that first encouraged me to leave the UK behind and grab my rucksack. Since then, it’s been a mixture of intriguing cultures, jaw-dropping landscapes and the wonder of seeing animals in their natural habitat that sees me continuously extending my travel wish list.
