Pace slows, and the small things start to matter again — the scent of rain on red dirt, a morning cuppa shared between friends. Locals wave from passing utes and share stories of life on the land. Tales of golden crops that brew the best beer, and towns like Moonta and Maitland built on copper and stone. Wander beyond town to trails leading past salt lakes and coastal cliffs, where it’s just you and the wide-open sky. Roll out the swag, boil the billy and settle in. There’s plenty of room to breathe out here.

Hillocks Ocean Pod, Yorke Peninsula
Just over an hour from Adelaide, the Yorke Peninsula is where schedules and to-do lists disappear.
Yorke Peninsula experiences and attractions
Yorke Peninsula’s experiences are shaped by its wide-open spaces and the people who call it home. Meet the locals who brew small-batch beer with grains from just down the road. Step back in time among the stone ruins of Moonta’s copper boom. Hike through rugged headlands where the wind carries the scent of saltbush. However you explore, you’ll find stories waiting.

Yorke Peninsula accommodation
The right accommodation isn’t just a place to stay — it’s a place that stays with you, long after you’ve left. An off-grid shack where you’re lulled to sleep by the sound of the surf. A cabin so quiet you can hear the gum leaves rustle. A caravan park where campfire yarns last well into the night. Whether it’s comfort, solitude or a bit of both, you’ll find a spot that feels just right.
