Sustainable travel in South Australia

South Australia is home to some of the world’s most pristine landscapes, remarkable wildlife and living cultures and caring for them is simply what we do. Here, sustainability isn’t a checkbox; it’s a way of life shaped by respect for Country, community and the places we call home. From being the first state to ban plastic bags and single‑use plastics, to leading the nation in wind energy and hosting the world’s largest lithium‑ion battery, we’re committed to protecting what makes this place special. We’re ambitious too. Adelaide is on track to become the world’s first carbon‑neutral city, while across the state you can slip away off‑grid, meet producers who give back to land and sea, and enjoy experiences that leave places better than they were found. Travel gently, nurture our nature and leave nothing but footprints behind.

It’s an approach Tourism Australia calls Green is our Gold — a shared understanding that caring for community, culture, wildlife and place helps keep Australia extraordinary.
