With international travel not happening at present, there is more focus on discovering more about our nearby states. And it’s not just the locals clamouring to see what this majestic state has to offer – there’s also been Hollywood actors iZac Efron, Jamie Dornan and Teresa Palmer. Australia’s most popular influencers such as Martha Kalifatidis, Bella Vaerlis and Pia Muehlenbeck and Kane Vato have also been quick to flock to this beautiful part of the world.

Whether it’s discovering one of the many awe-inspiring pink lakes and incredible Umpherston and Kilsby sinkholes, to venturing underground in Coober Pedy, South Australia is the star-studded paradise for those who want a little more. 

Here is a roundup of celebrities who’ve recently visited Adelaide, Kangaroo Island and the world-class wine regions of Barossa and Adelaide Hills.

Zac Efron

He’s the adopted Aussie we’ve loved keeping an eye on over the past few months and sure enough he’s hit South Australian shores. Zac stopped by Kangaroo Island (KI), known for its wildlife and natural, rugged beauty. Follow the road less travelled and discover unique wildlife, mouth-watering food and wine, breath-taking scenery and a laid-back lifestyle on KI.
