Taken on an exhilarating ride

Our writer cruises the skies in a hot-air balloon and tries his hand at blending wines.

SOUTH Australia is overlooked on a lot of trips to the vast island continent of Australia, which is a shame. I won’t use tired clichés like “hidden gem” or “best kept secret” to describe South Australia. Instead I prefer to think of South Australia as the dark horse, like the nonchalant guy you meet at the party who ends up leaving with two girls. If this was Game Of Thrones, South Australia would be Tyrion Lannister.
