National parks

If you’re looking for activities that get kids off their screens and out into nature these school holidays, you’re in luck. The annual Nature Festival is back from 26 September to 12 October, with a packed program of events and experiences designed to connect South Australians with the natural world.

Looking for parks to walk your dog? Here are 17, including a hidden gem, where you can let your pet off lead!

Nestled on the southern tip of the Eyre Peninsula, Coffin Bay and Lincoln National Parks offer a slice of coastal paradise, perfect for a sandy weekend escape. And while you’re in the area, why not check out Sir Joseph Banks Group Marine Park? 

Land is being added to five South Australian parks, and two new parks have been proclaimed. This means more protection for our state’s natural attractions, and better public access to enjoy them. 

Winter shouldn’t mean putting a lid on your sense of adventure. At these South Australian parks, it’s a great time to visit.

Did you know that South Australia is home to some bloodthirsty plants? Drosera (dross-uh-ruh), or sundews, are carnivorous plants that pop up around our state in cooler months. But don’t cancel that camping trip or hike. Sundews are tiny and they’re after bug juice, not your flesh.
