Holiday in SA! Help turnaround our hospitality and tourism industry…

Never has there been a bigger excuse to holiday in SA!

The COVID-19 crisis, the bushfires, the drought – it’s all had a catastrophic impact on our economy and business turnaround experts are saying we have to support our great state.

We are fortunate to have not suffered the impact of the virus too badly here in South Australia. However, right now South Australia’s economy needs a boost. Hospitality and tourism businesses are struggling and need a sharp turnaround if they are to survive. The easiest way to help out and do your part? Explore, visit, vacation and holiday in SA! 

This is the same concept as ‘buying local’ which is the theme of the trending #myadelaide hashtag. This is your post-COVID bucket list. Have fun exploring SA and doing your part in boosting the economy!

Here are 15 suggestions for exploration around our great state!

Sure, Bali is beautiful, but who needs to hop aboard a plane, when you can enjoy the endless shores and turquoise blue sea at Streaky Bay?

I know a place we can go… ✨ As you know, we live amongst the vines and by the sea. Just down the road there’s a spot we like to sit and watch the day end. Another one of the many reasons I love calling the Fleurieu home. 💛

Spring in South Australia. Came across some more canola shots from a trip to Melrose. If you swipe left you’ll see that it really did look like Spring was in the air! 😉💛 #spring #seesouthaustralia #yellow #nature #wirrabara #wildlife

We had heard that Mount Gambier was a must see in South Australia and it didn't disappoint! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Surrounded by sinkholes, some of them full of water, makes for a very different scenery 👌⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Little Blue Lake was very cool, we had the place all to ourselves for a bit 🤗⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ Although a local did tell us to avoid diving down too far as it's become a dumping ground for anything from cars to couches 😪 ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ .⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ #southaustraliatourism #southaustralianbeaches #visitsouthaustralia #exploresouthaustralia #travelcouplelife #travelbloggerlife #vanlifeaustralia #seesouthaustralia #ichoosesa #sagreat #eyrepeninsula #roadtrip #roadtripaustralia #travelaustralia #couplegoals #travellingcouples #travelcouplelife #couplestravel #welovetravel #southaustralianphotography #southaus #adventuretravelblog #adventuretravel #vanlifecouple #vanlifeblog #australianbeaches #travelblogger #vanlifeexplorers #photography📸 #explorenature

I love digital photography! Well let me be honest, I haven't done too much film photography. That is something I want to start doing more this year. I have a film camera that works and film. I just need to put it in… 🙈 Back to the digital. I have posted this exact image at least 4 times (this maybe 4th) since taking it. The very first time I edited it. It went viral! Shared countless times for a solid two years. I hated the way I edited it, those who have followed for a while may remember those conversations. The subsequent two edits, I loved. They did alright, I'm not too concerned with the numbers. More so that I loved the processing of the RAW file. This fourth image has been processed with my "Cotton Candy" preset, or those I catch up with. The magic 😅. I love the soft feel of the image and muted tones. No doubt I will edit this over and over as the years go on. Which is why I love digital photography, the ability to go back and see how an image looks, as I grow as a creator. #southaustralia #australiagram #insidesouthaustralia #glamadelaide #Nikonphotography #mynikonlife #Southaustralianphotography #NikonAustralia #unlimitedaustralia #escapeordinary #worlds_beautiful_photos #ig_discover_australia #australia_shots #wanderaustralia #focusaustralia #my3leggedthing #SeeAustralia

Coober Pedy was so interesting! It's an opal mining town which has a rich history and some fascinating underground buildings. Many people live in underground houses and apartments as Coober Pedy is one of the driest and hottest places in Australia. . . . . . @ig_australia__ #ig_australia #australia_shotz @australia_shotz #dji #mavic #mavicair #drone #dronephotography #dronestagram #northernterritory #cuinthent #topendtourism #topendnt @ausoutbacknt @tourismtopend #outbacknt #australia #tourismtopend #ntAustralia #cooberpedy #mining #opals #travelaustralia #travel #southaustralia @australia #seeaustralia
