With the cost-of-living crisis affecting many South Aussies, getting out and about with friends and family can be tough, especially during Mad March!
With Fringe, WOMAD, and Adelaide Festival taking over the city, it can be a nice change to head down south, escape the crowd and soak up the sunshine with the scenic views as a backdrop.
