 Sevenhill Cellars, Clare Valley / Captain's Cottage, Blinman |
 Rural South Australia is somehow… different.
Apart from the coastal fringe and a few defined corridors like the Clare Valley, most of South Australia is big-sky country, the true Outback.
Beyond the Adelaide Hills, the landscape is largely treeless, punctuated instead with stone structures in varying states of repair. Yet the Clare Valley and Flinders Ranges hold some rare outposts of civilisation: the seductive comforts of Thorn Park Country House or North Bundaleer Estate; fine ‘feral’ dining at the Parachilna Hotel.
Call into a country general store for lunch and you'll be offered a wedge of Cornish pastie carved out of the original pie dish. Quandong pie and kangaroo fillet are often on the menu.
