South Australian Travel & Transport

There is no shortage of flights to all of the regional towns and bus services also run the major highways through to Darwin in the north, Perth in the west and east to the cities on the eastern seaboard.

There is only one route to the north and one to the west but several routes are available to the east.

A network of sealed roads cover the state's major centres and the southern and south-east corner of the state, but off the major routes, expect unsurfaced roads.

Train services are the Indian Pacific service that links west to Perth and east to Sydney, The Ghan that operates to Alice Springs and Darwin and the Overland operating to Melbourne. Adelaide has a metropolitan commuter train and bus service and details are available at TransAdelaide

All major car rental companies are represented in the major cities and towns throughout the state. If you are flying in at Adelaide to start your SA visit, consider picking up a Adelaide rental car at the airport and save on transfer costs.

Australian camper hire, as well as 4WD rentals for off-road touring, are a great way to see the best of South Australia. Rentals are available only from Adelaide and advance bookings are essential. Tour operators provide itineraries that cover all popular sites.

Driver information and maps are available from offices of the Royal Automobile Club of SA (RAA) which has offices throughout the state.

Some typical road distances are:

Adelaide to Melbourne = 732km (457 miles)

Adelaide to Sydney = 1420km (888 miles)

Adelaide to Perth = 2720km (1700 miles)

Adelaide to Alice Springs = 1538km (961 miles)

Adelaide to Darwin = 3040km (1900 miles)

Adelaide to Mt Gambier = 454km (283 miles)

Adelaide to Port Augusta = 320km (200 miles)
