Driving in South Australia is a unique experience due to how diverse the landscape is. From the rugged cliffs of the Great Ocean Road to the leafy streets of inner city Adelaide to the silent expanse of the outback, you’ll find an abundance of beauty as you traverse the state. The quality of roads is generally good, even in regional areas. Indeed, South Australia is known for its scenic drives and rural road trips.
