We have 4 seasons,
similar to Victoria,
without their heavy rain falls.
Our autumn is beautiful with the deciduous trees.
The environment gets dry away from Adelaide coastal
areas where It starts to record a low rain fall, around
Port Wakefield, Murray Bridge, Strathalbyn. The more
inland you go the dryer it gets.
There are green areas around the Murray River, where
we grow Fruit Trees.
So as you can see we have a diverse landscape,
not just a dry one.

What
To Take & What To Wear
|

While South Australia continues the Australian theme of casualness in its dress habits, it does boast a fine sense of style. A better quality of clothing can be found amongst its inhabitants. Again, dress for the season. In summer the weather can suddenly turn cool, so a jacket of some sort is essential. In winter you need to dress accordingly, especially to protect against the wind.
