This route takes you to the next metropolis on this tour, which is Adelaide, the capital of South Australia.
Adelaide is located on the Gulf of St. Vincent, and is the fifth largest city in Australia. Adelaide was founded in 1836 and is named after Adelheid of Saxe-Meiningen (Queen Adelaide), the wife of the then reigning English King William IV. Adelaide is known as the 'City of Churches' because of the many churches in the city. Characteristic of the city, in contrast to the other large cities in the country, is the almost complete absence of high-rise buildings in the center of the city. Another commonly used name is "20-minute city", because of the good accessibility of almost all places in and even outside the city. The Glenelg tram, the only tram line in South Australia, connects the north of the city with the main station, the center, the south of the city and Glenelg and has an almost entirely own track, making the resort within 20 minutes even during rush hour can be reached from the center. There are important wine regions around Adelaide, including Barossa Valley some 50 kilometers northeast of the city. Adelaide is also famous for the 'Festival of Arts'. The festival has been held every even year since 1960 and is one of the largest in the world.

But first take the Stuart Highway to Port Augusta. Before you get to Port Augusta, you will make some shortest stops to capture Island Lagoon, refuel at the Spuds Roadhouse. Once in Port Augusta, there is plenty of choice to eat and drink and to refill the tank. Then you swap the Stuart Highway for the Augusta Highway, where you can stop again in Port Wakefield for a snack.

Once at your final destination in Adelaide, you can once again enjoy a cooling pool. Of course also a place where you will stay longer than 1 or 2 days.

This route also goes through the outback, these are regions that are far from civilization. The outback covers almost three quarters of Australia and mainly extends across the Northern Territory and Western Australia, and parts of the states of Queensland, New South Wales and South Australia.
The term outback includes different landscapes and climatic zones. Large parts of the outback in Western Australia are inaccessible: sometimes no rain falls here for years, while in summer the temperature rises above 50 ° C. The Queensland outback, on the other hand, consists partly of tropical rainforest.

The characteristics of the outback are:
- Only a few asphalt roads are present. Farms (stations) are often located on sandy paths that can only be used by off-road vehicles. It is no exception when a farm is located 80 kilometers from the asphalt road.
- Farms are designed for self-catering. It is not a problem if a supermarket cannot be visited for weeks.
- Settlements with a few houses, a gas station, a supermarket, a garage, a bank and catering establishments are hundreds of kilometers apart.
- Children receive distance education via the radio (School of the Air) and the Internet.
- The Royal Flying Doctor Service (RFDS) is called upon for serious illnesses and accidents.
Camels were imported from the Middle East in 1870. They live partly on farms, partly in the wild.
- Of the approximately 300,000 Aborigines (approximately 1.5% of the total population of Australia), approximately 20% live in the outback, most of them in reserves.

This 4-star rated route goes over the Stuart and Augusta Highway, so a not very exciting route, but more of a connecting route to Adelaide with some stops along the way for petrol and refreshments.

General info:
South Australia (English: South Australia) is a state with an area of 983,482 km² it is the third largest state in the country. About one eighth of South Australia is occupied by the Woomera Prohibited Area military test site.

Many names in and around this state refer to Matthew Flinders and Nicolas Baudin. These explorers had been sent out by England and France respectively to explore the south coast of Australia and claim the land. South Australia is Australia's driest state and much of it is arid and desert-like. The eastern portion of the Great Victoria Desert is in this state. In the northeast are the infamous Simpson Desert and the Tirari Desert. About 50% of the national wine production takes place in this state. Most winegrowers can be found in the southeast of the state on the border with Victoria.

The first recorded European sighting of the South Australian coast was in 1627 when the Dutch ship Gulden Zeepaert, commanded by François Thijssen, surveyed and mapped part of the coastline as far as the Nuyts archipelago. The land that now forms the state of South Australia was claimed for Great Britain in 1788 as part of the New South Wales colony. Unlike the rest of Australia, terra nullius did not apply to the new province. The Letters Patent, which used the enabling provisions of the South Australia Act 1834 to establish the boundaries of the province of South Australia, provided that "nothing in our Letters Patent affects or can be construed as a influence on the rights of an Aboriginal In spite of a strong reference to the rights of the indigenous people in the first proclamation by the governor, there were many conflicts and deaths in the Australian border wars in South Australia. The beginning of the colonial government was proclaimed on December 28, 1836, now known as Proclamation Day.

South Australia is the only Australian state that has never received British convicts. In early 1838, settlers began to worry after it was reported that convicts who had escaped from the eastern states could go to South Australia. The South Australia Police was formed in April 1838 to protect the community and enforce government regulations. Their main role was to run the first temporary prison, a two-room cabin.

The current flag of South Australia was adopted on January 13, 1904 and is a British blue flag that is illegible with the state badge. The emblem is described as a piping shrike with wings outstretched on a yellow disk. The state badge is believed to have been designed by Robert Craig of Adelaide's School of Design.
