The climate of South Australia (Australia)
South Australia is an area in the centre of southern Australia. This area is also known as the great emptiness. This desert area mainly consists of rocks and sand. The flying doctors series were filmed in the inlands of South Australia. There are many beautiful views and a vast outback. The original Aborigine culture can still be found here. This part of South Australia has a desert climate. In some areas temperatures can get so high that its inhabitants decided to live underground. Summers are hot. However, it can get very cold during the night. Subzero temperatures are not uncommon then. The number of rainy days is limited so there is a lot of drought. South Australia’s coastal area has a very different climate. The climate is comparable to a Mediterranean Sea climate. Many vineyards can be found here. People who are fond of wine can enjoy the many wines, wine-tasting and harvest festivals. Most of the Australian wines are from this area. Especially in the Barosso Valley many vineyards can be found. Adelaide is South Australia’s capital. This city has beautiful parks and modern architecture. The many festivals make this a lively city. The largest museum on Aboriginal culture also is situated in Adelaide. South Australia’s coastal area has a mild climate. Summers are warm and winters are mild.
