Things to see and do South Australia

It took 500 million years of rain, wind and pounding waves to create these aptly named granite rocks that are now part of Flinders Chase National Park. It is now one of the island's must-see sites and you'll soon see why! Many of the rocks are covered with golden orange lichen and interpretive signs describe the formation of the rocks in even greater detail. Black mica, bluish quartz and pinkish feldspar make up most of the granite at Remarkable Rocks.

The Port Pirie National Trust Museum incorporates The Old Customs House, which was opened in 1882 to accommodate the increase in maritime traffic in the port; the Victorian Railway Station building, completed in 1902 and used as a railway station until 1967; and the former Central Police Station, built in 1892. The buildings are now owned by the National Trust and are reserved for the presentation of local history.

It is a magnificent suite of sandstone cliffs from the Stuart Range and overlooking Painted Desert and Moon Plain.

On this discovery tour, you'll meet the dolphins that call the Port Adelaide River home. There are between 20 and 30 of them, most of whom can be seen early in the morning (6 a.m.!) and in the evening. The route includes 6 spots with information panels. You'll need a car to complete the entire route, which leads to Garden Island, 6 km from the starting point, and then to North Haven, also 6 km away, but on the other side of the river. This means you have to retrace your steps back to the original starting point to continue the trail.
