Clare Valley and Yorke Peninsula

The Clare Valley is only a one-and-half-hour drive North of Adelaide and boasts some of Australia's best wines - not to mention is home of Australian Reisling. With Kodak moments around every corner, the region plays host to some fantastic festivals as well.

Not far away you'll find the Yorke Peninsula - seals, dolphins and crustaceans can be discovered among the many wrecks, limestone caves, numerous islands and at the end of long jetties. A divers' paradise: with two underwater maritime heritage trails featuring 38 wrecks for beginners and the experienced.
