“What the heck is that driver doing?” I stared in amazement at a car parked – literally – in the intersection as other vehicles whizzed by.

South Australia and it’s capital, Adelaide, are somewhat forgotten regions on the tourist’s map. However, this southern State, the driest on the continent, offers the traveler some spectacular and secluded locations.
