South Aus­tralia is now home to Australia’s largest nation­al park as well as four oth­er new nation­al parks, with today’s offi­cial procla­ma­tion of Munga-Thirri – Simp­son Desert Nation­al Park, Wap­ma Thu­ra — South­ern Flinders Ranges Nation­al Park, Lake Frome Nation­al Park and the upgrade of Cle­land and Deep Creek to nation­al parks.

Vis­i­tors will soon get extra oppor­tu­ni­ties to moun­tain bike through some of Cud­lee Creek’s most chal­leng­ing ter­rain, expe­ri­ence upgrad­ed accom­mo­da­tion in Belair and wake up in the beau­ti­ful Lime­stone Cost region at South Australia’s newest glamp­ing site.

Gran­ite Island Recre­ation Park will be closed at night for the 21^st con­sec­u­tive year through­out Schoolies Week between 19 to 21 November.

New spe­cial­ty tours, pop-up and sea­son­al expe­ri­ences and events could be set to grace icon­ic South Aus­tralian tourism places thanks to a new $550,000 round in a State Gov­ern­ment grant fund­ing to acti­vate nature and her­itage-based tourism initiatives.

Two of South Australia’s well-known nation­al park vis­i­tor attrac­tions were recent­ly recog­nised at this year’s Tourism Indus­try Coun­cil of South Aus­tralia, South Aus­tralian Tourism Awards, with Cle­land Wildlife Park being award­ed sil­ver and the Nara­coorte and Tan­ta­noola Caves tak­ing out bronze in the Major Tourist Attrac­tion category.
