We have had a great time in South Australia. We went to Adelaide for the day and looked around the city. It's a lot smaller when you compare it to the others but it had some good museums. We went to the art gallery and saw some of Australia's famous paintings. The Immigration museum was the best though.

We first stopped in Aireys Inlet and walked on the beach and visited the lighthouse. The water is a bit colder down here and all the kids were swimming in Wet suits, we just had a little dip.
