WASHINGTON (Jan. 20, 2016)-From camping with kangaroos in the Flinders Ranges and discovering the laneways of Adelaide, to cruising down Australia's longest river (Murray River) on a houseboat, NationalGeographic.com today shares 30 of the most amazing adventures available in South Australia. South Australia's Adventures of a Lifetime can be accessed via the new dedicated online hub, at: http://travel.nationalgeographic.com/travel/south-australia-adventures/.
The hub is a result of an ongoing partnership with the state of South Australia, where each of the 30 articles featured showcase a unique experience in the region. In addition, the hub includes stunning photo galleries, an interactive map, a South Australia guide with basic information for those looking to plan a visit, and videos that bring the destination and its experiences to life.
We are excited to share with our consumers the vast array of experiences South Australia has to offer, says Kimberly Connaghan, vice president and publisher of National Geographic Travel. We began this program by sending photographers, Dan Westergren and Spencer Milsap, on assignment in South Australia in November. The photographers used NatGeoTravel's Instagram account (now up to 7.7MM followers) to create excitement about the project and the response was overwhelming. Shortly after posting, photos received over a million likes. The images capture the authenticity of South Australia, from its people to the beauty of the landscape and natural world.
Says Rodney Harrex, Chief Executive of the South Australian Tourism Commission, We are thrilled that Nationalgeographic.com has captured such a compelling portrayal of our state's stunning vacation experiences. Their stories truly demonstrate that South Australia is a place that curious-minded travelers must visit.
