About South Australia
South Australia, one of the 7 States/Territories in Australia, is known for its fine wines, pleasing cityscapes and for being the City of Churches. With a diverse array of experiences outside of Adelaide, the gateway to the regions and the Capital of South Australia, it’s no wonder that the 1.5million residents refer to their homeland as a surprising and cultural hidden secret!
South Australia has sister-city agreements with Austin, Texas.
South Australia has always been known as a progressive and free- thinking state. Some say it’s because it was a colony of free settlers rather than convicts. Whatever the reason, it is a state of firsts—trial by jury and women’s right to vote were introduced to Australia here, and it was the first place in the world where women could stand for parliament.
