By: Beyond the Classroom Ideas on activities and things to do in South Australia in winter: Whale Watching at the Head of the Bight: Among the memorable sights to view in the South Australia coast, the arrival of migrating whales. The June to September arrivals are mostly southern right whales who give birth and care for their young amidst the rich marine life of the Fleurieu Coast. Visitors can view whales from vantage points from around the Eyre Peninsula, to as far east as Victor Harbor. Steam Train Rides: Steam trains are a cool winter treat, as they generally are in operation only during winter so as to prevent fire risks during summer. Top options include the Pichi Richi Railway of the Flinders Ranges or Victor Harbor's Cockle Train. Camping and bushwalks: With enough preparation, consultation with expert adventure camp organisers, and due diligence, it is possible to get out of your comfort zone while enjoying excellent views, chatting by the campfire, and sleeping under the stars. Great options include the Flinders Ranges or parts of the Heysen Trail. And if you are looking for a unique bushwalk, try visiting a part of the Limestone Coast at night, with its famous Ghost Mushrooms illuminating the pine trees of Glencoe. For a daytime adventure that is closer to the city, there is the Adelaide Hills and its Mount Lofty Botanic Gardens, which are several hectares of colorful oases (albeit in colder weather). Visitors travel through meandering paths surrounded by the color palette of autumn. This haven for nature lovers is just 30 minutes away by car from Adelaide. In these colder months, South Australia can be said to remind some of a Mediterranean climate. Winters are mild, averaging from eight to 15 degrees. Rainfall in Adelaide can be seldom, but do not just put away that brolly just yet. To end, winter is truly a time for unique outdoor adventures in South Australia, sans the heat of Summer.
