Travelling to these areas and staying, eating and exploring locally all mean that your support goes directly to small business owners, residents and economies. When planning on where to go and what you’ll do while your there, there is no better advice to take up than that passed on by those who know best. Use their tips and recommendations as all the encouragement you need to book your trip, and then spend your time away uncovering other hidden gems and treasures – that you might then pay forward to friends and family.

Cheers to some of the state’s best wine producers with a day in the Adelaide Hills or Barossa or Clare Valleys, or swap vineyards for red earth when you venture into the Flinders Ranges. Walk barefoot along the sands of beaches on the Limestone Coast or Kangaroo Island or take an extended trip to reach the far-flung likes of the Eyre and Yorke Peninsulas.
