South Australia

1965

South Australia has the Mount Lofty Ranges, with the highest point in them being Mount Lofty, and it also contains Mount Barker. The Flinders Ranges has St Mary's Peak. None of the mountains are high by world standards. The highest mountain in the state is Mount Woodroffe, a rugged peak in the Musgrave Ranges with a height of 4742 feet (1440 meters).

Adelaide is a city, the capital city of the state of South Australia. To the west, South Australia is bordered by Western Australia. To the north, it is bordered by Northern Territory and Queensland, while to the east it is bordered by Queensland, New South Wales and Victoria.

Coober Pedy lies in an exceptionally hot and dry region of northern South Australia. The town is unique for its underground homes, which are dug into the earth to help shield the residents against the summer heat and cold winter nights.

The main explorer credited with charting the South Australian coastline and seeing its potential for settlement was Matthew Flinders, in 1802. 27 years later Charles Sturt's expedition down the Murray River had a significant impact on the future settlement of South Australia as it opened up Australia's inland waterways to the transportation of people and goods, and found a route to he southern coast. England had been seeking a site to establish a settlement on the southern coast, and Sturt's expedition pointed the way for this.

The South Australian Colonisation Act was passed by the British Parliament in 1834, and the first settlers arrived in 1836. South Australia is the only state in Australia not to have had convicts. Governor John Hindmarsh arrived in the new colony on the HMS Buffalo, accompanied only by free settlers. South Australia was officially proclaimed on 19 February 1836 in England. The Old Gum Tree at Glenelg North, South Australia, was where the Proclamation was read by Governor Hindmarsh on 28 December 1836.

Purely from its geographical location.

South Australia is Australia's driest state.

There are several low ranges in South Australia. The Flinders Ranges is South Australia's largest mountain range, and starts about 200 km north west of Adelaide. In the southeast is the Mt Lofty-Flinders Ranges system which extends north about 800 kilometres from Cape Jervis to the northern end of Lake Torrens. In the far northwest are the Musgrave Ranges, which include SA's highest peak, Mt Woodroffe.

Within the Flinders Ranges is the natural amphitheatre of Wilpena Pound.

In the west of the state is the flat, treeless plain known as the Nullarbor. The Nullarbor extends down to the majestic cliffs of the Great Australian Bight, and beneath the hard limestone surface of the Nullarbor are huge underground caverns, popular for spelunking.

There are many saltpans and salt lakes in South Australia. The largest of these is Lake Eyre, which is also the largest salt lake in the world. For most of the year it is dry, but monsoonal rains in northern Queensland send huge volumes down the river system of outback Queensland to almost fill the Lake, bringing it to life with teeming masses of waterbirds and fish. Lake Eyre covers 8430 km sq, is 144 km long and 77 km wide. At its lowest point, it is 15.2 m below sea-level and drains over a sixth of the continent. Other salt lake sin South Australia include Lakes Torrens, Gairdner, Cadibarrawirracanna, Frome, and numerous smaller lakes.

The Murray River is a major physical feature of South Australia, emptying into Lake Alexandrina, a huge lake at the entrance to Encounter Bay. On one side of the Murray River mouth is the Corrong, a series of lagoons, and a vital habitat for wildlife.

The shortest day in Adelaide tends to occur on 21 June each year. This is the winter solstice, and it is the shortest day throughout Australia.

South Australia's state motto is "United for the Common Wealth".

The longest west-east border of South Australia is along its coastline. This part of the border, along the south, is 3816 km in length.

Not a prison in the sense of a building with cells and watchtowers. There was no need for locking anyone up: outside of the built-up areas there was only dry wilderness to perish in, so 'escaping' was pointless anyway. It was however a penal colony where convicts - often from debtor's prisons - and homeless people (being a 'vagrant' being a punishable offence in itself in Britain) were sent to to live under a strict regimen of hard word and complying with the rules.

The Eyre Peninsula lies south of the Gawler Ranges.

The Barossa Valley is in near Adelaide in South Australia, generally about 40 minutes drive from the city (depending on where you are traveling from and traffic)

No town in South Australia lies on the border with Victoria. The closest is probably Frances, a small township with a population of about 50, between Bordertown and Naracoorte on the now disused railway line. It is about 1 kilometre west of the border.

Victoria is bordered by New South Wales to the north and South Australia to the west. A little-known fact is that, although it is separated from the island state of Tasmania by Bass Strait, it actually shares a land border at Boundary Islet in Bass Strait, which lies at 39°12' S.

If the question refers to the city of Adelaide, Australia, it is on the southern coast, to the northwest of Mel;bourne, west of Sydney and Canberra, and east of Perth.

According to the Murraylands, South Australia website, about 18,000 people currently live in Murray Bridge. There are predictions this will increase to around 30,000 by 2025.

Kangaroo Island, recently promoted as the"Galapagos" of Australia, is the largest island off the coast of South Australia. It can be accessed by ferry, or flights from Adelaide.

Another significant, though smaller, island off the coast of South Australia, is Wardang Island, near the tip of Yorke Peninsula. The waters around Wardang Island are popular with divers as they contain numerous shipwrecks.

Queensland is a huge state with many postcodes. Most Queensland postcodes are four digits long and begin with a 4. For example, many Brisbane postcodes range from 4000 to 4078. Further north, the numbers are higher. The exception are large companies and certain communities where the volume of mail is so high that they have different postcodes, to enable sorting to be done more easily.
