Sleaford Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)

I would like to call the Eyre Peninsula the South Australian version of 'Shangri-La'

🌊 The Eyre Peninsula is known for its ruggedly beautiful coastline and pleasant beaches. The scenery here is like a magnificent painting: blue skies and white clouds, clear waters and white sands, romantic pink lakes, the Sky Realm, and magical boulders, all of which are breathtaking. Trust me, in the hustle and bustle of life, there must be such a place where one can relax and resonate with nature! ✅ Must-visit attractions on the Eyre Peninsula: 📍Coffin Bay National Park Coffin Bay National Park, which boasts the extended coastline of the Eyre Peninsula, is not only a pilgrimage site for water sports enthusiasts but also an ideal place for relaxation. Here, the rocks echo the azure waves, and when the sunlight sprinkles on the sea, the waves shimmer with golden light under the reflection, making the entire coastline glitter like a mermaid's dwelling~ Strolling on the beach, feeling the sea breeze. Whether it's the brilliant light and shadow at sunrise or the soft afterglow at sunset, it's all incredibly beautiful! 📍Lincoln National Park Lincoln National Park covers an area of 216 square kilometers, encompassing steep cliffs, winding bays, dunes, pristine white sandy beaches, and various camping facilities, making it an excellent destination for travel and adventure! Memory Bay, shining like a gem, is located here. With its soft sandy beaches and blue sea, worries seem to drift away with the waves. True to its name, it's unforgettable at first sight. However, Memory Bay is a protected area, and only 15 vehicles are allowed in per day, so be sure to apply for a permit at the visitor center in advance. 📍Lake MacDonnell Finally, I get to write about my favorite spot! Lake MacDonnell is one of South Australia's most beautiful pink salt lakes. Driving on the embankment, one side of the lake is pink, the other side is emerald green, and further down the bridge is the blue lake water, forming a stunning tri-color lake. Here, it's as if you're in a world interwoven with fairy tales and dreams. Trust me, don't miss this place; you'll be able to take countless life photos! 📍Lake Gairdner If there's any place that can rival Lake MacDonnell, it must be Lake Gairdner! Lake Gairdner stretches unbounded into the distance, with a vast horizon as if there is no end. The red sand dunes echo the glittering lake surface, and just by standing or sitting here, one can feel infinitely relaxed. When it rains, the lake surface becomes like a giant mirror, clearly reflecting the blue sky and white clouds, hence the nickname 'South Australia's Sky Realm'. There are so many beautiful sights that, in addition to the above attractions, there are ancient stone formations like Murphy’s Haystacks, the spectacular natural Talia Caves, and secluded Greenly Beach surrounded by cliffs... To truly experience everything in one go, a few days would definitely not be enough! ❤️ The more I talk about the Eyre Peninsula, the more I want to go again! If you also want to start exploring a new travel map, this is really a niche and treasure-filled place~

The trip to South Australia is the most unsatisfactory, not the Port Lincoln National Park. The pristine forests, the plains of the wilderness, the splendid sunsets, the kangaroos swarming around, and the koalas on the branches look around. is a national park, but it is actually a private territory. The lord is a 70-year-old British old man, a man, a dog, guarding the land. We were lucky enough to meet the owner of this land and enjoy a wine afternoon tea in the wilderness under the sunset. At that moment, the light and shadow are so beautiful, everyones face is a happy and satisfied look.

Next to Khao Lak Park is Lincoln National Park, 20 km from Port Lincoln. It is a rugged peninsula made up of cliffs, sand dunes, havens and beaches, from the swimming beaches of Boston Bay to the hidden beaches. In the coastal wilderness area, there are many shaded camping areas and beaches for boating and fishing. Go to one of the beaches and guide Darren to park here and let us move freely. Its really comfortable to be here and its great to live here!

Adelaide Zoo @ Adelaide South Australia 🇦🇺

#australiatrip Adelaide Zoo in Adelaide, South Australia, is a captivating haven for wildlife enthusiasts, boasting an impressive collection of animals in beautifully landscaped surroundings. From exotic species to native favorites like koalas and kangaroos, the zoo offers diverse encounters for visitors. Educational programs and conservation initiatives further enhance the experience, making it both entertaining and enlightening. With its picturesque setting and engaging exhibits, Adelaide Zoo promises a memorable day out for all. My rating: 4 ⭐️ out of 5!

Adelaide Zoo

#australiatrip A phenomenal adventure in every way. I recommend booking ahead if you want to go to any specific animal experiences, as there were only a few left when I went in the morning on a weekend, though I loved the tortoise and pygmy hippo experiences that I did go to, and so also could recommend just rocking up and seeing what "less popular" animals are still available for a more intimate experience (or even one-on-one experience as I had with the tortoises). I spent an entire day here from almost opening time through to closing, and I still feel like I could have spent more time here because there are so many animals to see. Bring some good walking shoes, a bottle of water, and a fan if you're going in summer, though there is plenty of seating with some lovely views of the animals all around, and some air-conditioned areas such as where the insects are and pandas. Lovely descriptive signage complete with an indication of how threatened each species is. If you'd like to see a particular animal, look up their most active hours ahead of time and plan your stroll past them then, or at feeding time (many more animals were active in the morning particularly on the hot summer day I went). A beautiful zoo, definitely a must-visit if you are in Adelaide, especially as being the only zoo in Australia with giant pandas at time of writing.

I'm so lucky to have encountered a wild koala in South Australia

During my trip to South Australia, one of my goals was to take a photo with a koala. In Australia, only South Australia and Queensland allow you to hold koalas, so I met a koala baby at the Adelaide Hills Wildlife Park. Later, I also visited the Eyre Peninsula, a 40-minute flight from Adelaide to Port Lincoln. Port Lincoln has lots of seafood, marine animals, and national parks, and of course, Mikkira Station, a private sanctuary. Established in 1842, it was settled and built into a beautiful home, and now the sanctuary is home to many wild koalas, but seeing them is a matter of luck. The weather was cloudy and not too hot when I arrived, so many small animals were out and about. Along the way, I saw emus, kangaroos, and other wild animals, and of course, I found 3 adorable koalas. Although they are wild, they seemed not at all afraid of people, but with their speed, they couldn't run away even if they were. Wild animals should not be touched, so we could take photos from a very close distance, but we also didn't make loud noises or touch them, allowing them a comfortable environment and a pleasant afternoon. Add: Mikkira Station Tips: Fly from China to Adelaide, then transfer to Port Lincoln from Adelaide. There are many fun things to do in Port Lincoln that require a local guide, and many places you can't enter on your own. Adelaide also has a lot of fun places to visit, such as the Gorge Wildlife Park, the German Village, and the library at the University of Adelaide are all great to explore. You can also go to Barossa to taste wine, as South Australia's wines have a rich historical heritage.

Adelaide Zoo 🗺️

#2024wish Just had the most amazing day at Adelaide Zoo! 🦁 Entrance fee was $38, but worth every penny for the wildlife wonderland. 🎟️ The zoo's layout is fantastic – felt like I was on a global safari with animals from every corner of the planet. 🌍 The pandas stole my heart, and the Australian exhibit was a hit with kangaroos casually hopping around. 🐨 The zookeepers are like animal whisperers, sharing cool facts and making the experience super educational. 🤓 The kid in me loved the close encounters – feeding giraffes and chilling with the playful lemurs. 🦒 Post-zoo vibes, head to the nearby Botanic Park for a chill picnic or stroll along the River Torrens for scenic views. 🌳🚶 #AdelaideZooAdventures #WildlifeWonder #FamilyFun #NatureEscape

South Australia's most special coastal scenery. Ancient granite cliffs, long beaches covered with white sand, rugged sea otters, limestone cliffs and islands carved out by the Southern Ocean and the southwest monsoon. There are also a lot of wild animals in the national parks. If you are lucky, you can see them in the natural environment. Location: The Coffin Bay National Park

In the trip to the Eyre Peninsula, the expectation is no more than the oyster farm in Covent Bay. Coffin Bay, the name of the world's seafood diners, is synonymous with top oysters. The best way to eat oysters is to enjoy it within 20 minutes after opening the shell. The sweetness of the meat is brought to the savory taste of the sea itself, and the taste of the ingredients itself is maximized. And we, but it took 1 minute.

On the last day of the Eyre Peninsula, I went to Coventry Bay National Park. The car, along the dense forest road, has been rushing from the bushes from time to time. The end of the road, the eyes suddenly open, it is the charming blue, deep and shallow, layered, changing colors. The sea of Australia is so beautiful that it has never lived up to it. I am alone, walking along the long sandy beach, wanting to see the other side of the reef, hiding what kind of heaven and earth. On the other side of the sea, it is still the sea, just met the Michael family fishing. A car, a dog, two people who love each other, so simple and pure happiness, envy. Michael said that this is one of the most beautiful beaches in Australia, with groups of dolphins chasing the shore in the summer. Still regretting the winter at the moment, I have to lose my hand. When bidding farewell, the dark shadows of the waves were present, and a large group of dolphins chased the waves and played.

Wild Koala Park Mikkira Station. The first time I saw so many koalas, its so cute. Some small partners said that they can hold them casually? The regulations are not allowed, and the tour guide also told us not to hold the koala. I didnt see the koala that had been sleeping in the zoo. The koala I saw was squinting or jumping. You see, like the landlords silly son, Im looking at us, no matter the photo below. How crazy we are, maybe I am thinking: this stupid human! It is said that the land is private. In 1842, Adam Borthwick and his family became the first settlers in the area. Now his descendants are still here, and the old lady opens the door every day on time, although the door is closed. There is nothing worthwhile in it.
