South Australia

Remarkable Rocks, located on Kangaroo Island in South Australia, received its name due to their striking and unusual shapes formed by erosion over millions of years. The term "remarkable" aptly describes the impressive and photogenic granite formations that attract visitors. The rocks were named by early European explorers, who were captivated by their unique appearance and the scenic coastal landscape surrounding them.

Willem Janszoon traveled with a crew aboard the Dutch ship Duyfken in 1606. He was commissioned by the Dutch East India Company and led the expedition to explore the western coast of New Guinea and parts of Australia. His crew comprised sailors, navigators, and other personnel necessary for such exploratory voyages of the time.

Adelaide is known as the City of Churches due to its significant number of churches and religious institutions compared to its population size. The city was planned by its founders to have a strong religious presence, with many churches built in close proximity to each other. This has led to Adelaide being recognized for its architectural diversity and historical significance in terms of religious buildings.

Well, darling, Adelaide is further south than Canberra. Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia, sitting pretty at the bottom of the country, while Canberra is the capital of Australia but it's a bit more north compared to Adelaide. So, if you're looking to head south, Adelaide is your best bet.

Tornadoes in South Australia are relatively rare compared to other regions in Australia, such as the southeastern states. South Australia experiences an average of 2-3 tornadoes per year, with most being weak and short-lived. However, they can still cause significant damage and pose a risk to life and property.

The main adaptation is that many people have dug their houses underground. Coober Pedy is a very hot and dry place for many months of the year, and winter nights are particularly bitter. Building homes underground offers insulation from these extremes.

The states of Australia that have land area along the latitude line of 30 degrees south are Queensland, New South Wales, South Australia, and Western Australia. These states span across multiple climate zones due to their vast north-south extent.

The Flinders Ranges were discovered by Edward Eyre in 1839 when he first ventured north of Adelaide in search of farming land. However, the ranges were not named by him: they were named by South Australia's Governor Gawler in a letter to Colonel Torrens which was published in the Government Gazette in July 1839.

Coober Pedy is unique for its underground homes, which are dug into the earth to help shield the residents against the summer heat and winter nights.

Earth provides a natural insulation against extremes of temperatures. While the summer average is around 35 degrees Celsius (95 degrees Fahrenheit), summer days in Coober Pedy can reach a maximum of 50 degrees Celsius (122 degrees Fahrenheit). Winter nights can reach the other extreme, being bitterly cold. Also, the enclosed underground homes have better protection against the occasional duststorms that wing their way across the Australian desert.

• Mount Schank is a volcanic cinder cone which rises about 100m above the surrounding coastal plain.
• Mount Schank is estimated to have first erupted about 4,500 years ago, and so the region is believed to be the site of the most recent volcanic activity in Australia.
• Mount Schank is slightly older than Mount Gambier, which lies about 12.5 km to the north.

Yes. Coober Pedy is unique for its underground homes, which are dug into the earth to help shield the residents against the summer heat and winter nights.

Officially, Coober Pedy's population in 2006 was 1,913 but, going by Council and Post Office records, electricity and water usage, housing ownership and rental data, the actual population is believed to be closer to 3,500.

English is the primary language spoken in Coober Pedy, South Australia. Due to its multicultural community and significant Aboriginal population, some residents may also speak Pitjantjatjara, Yankunytjatjara, or other Indigenous languages.

The Barossa Valley is in the Australian state of South Australia.

I've heard tales that the name Barossa is Italian, referring to the red soil of the valley, but in fact the name is due to a spelling mistake.

The valley was named for the 1811 Battle of Barrosa, in which the English defeated the French. When the name was registered it was spelled with one 'r' and two 's's, and by the time anyone realised the error it was deemed not worth fixing, since probably nobody would notice. Which, generally speaking, they haven't.

Melbourne is almost always a half hour ahead of Adelaide.

One of the popular events that are organized in Gujarat and are a major crowd-puller from across the country and the world is the Rann Utsav. This is regarded as a celebration of life, culture, and the festivities of Kutch. The entire event is spread across 4 months which sees a riot of colors spread over the barren lands. The entire event offers an experience of diverse traditions as well as the taste of the generous hospitality of the people from Kutch. The beautiful White Desert welcomes one and all and the sight of a full moon night during the entire period can be breathtaking.

Depending on where you start in Melbourne, and where you end in Barossa Valley, it's about 750 Km, give or take. At normal driving speeds, figure just over 10 hours or so.

The dreadful Eyre Peninsula bushfires of 2005 which trapped a town and killed 9 were apparently started by the backfiring or hot exhaust pipe of an old truck belonging to a local prospector.

It is also said that this same prospector lost his home in the more recent bushfires which again swept through parts of the Eyre Peninsula.

The major cities of South Australia are Adelaide (capital city) and its outlying cities of Elizabeth and Gawler; Port Pirie, Port Augusta, Port Lincoln, Whyalla, and Mount Gambier. With the exception of Mount Gambier, these cities are all on the coastline.

Major towns which are set inland include Murray Bridge and Renmark.

There are many more towns which are important economically for South Australia - too numerous to list. Bear in mind that, what constitutes a "city" in Australia is often considered a mere "town" overseas, because to Australians, a city is any centre with a population exceeding about 20,000.
