Matta Flat is a place that has loads of cool stories to tell. If you think your life's been a bit humdrum lately, a trip here is the perfect answer!
It's situated 1,050 kilometres to the west of Canberra, the country's capital.
How about a little beach therapy? Feel the salty sea breeze on your face as you close your eyes and listen to the tranquil sounds of the ocean at Simms Cove. It's the best kind of medicine, and it's totally free!
Venture outwards and find out what's happening in Kadina, 2 kilometres to the northeast. Lots of travellers come here for the Wallaroo Golf Course and the Wallaroo Heritage and Nautical Museum. Alternatively, North Yelta is 12 kilometres to the southwest of Matta Flat. Stop at this destination for access to Port Hughes Jetty and Port Hughes Waterfront Park.
Approximately 15 kilometres to the southwest, Moonta Mines is a place that has something for everyone. The Moonta Mines Railway and Museum, the Copperclub Golf Course and the Moonta Golf Course are all pretty close. That said, Miner's Cottage and the Moonta Mines Museum are also worthwhile.
Explore the countryside from a new perspective and partake in some hiking or four-wheel driving. They're both popular hobbies around these parts.
Looking to find outdoor fun you can have with the kids? Shore fishing and camping are enjoyable ways to spend an afternoon.
Rushed for time? Signing up for a few wildlife spotting tours, culinary tours and winery tours will ensure you get a whole lot more out of your getaway.
Whether you're splashing about in it, drifting on top of it or zipping across it, nothing beats spending an afternoon by the water. You can get involved in a range of watersports here, including swimming and snorkeling.
To really experience a destination is to immerse yourself in the local food and drink, so prepare to chew, chomp, sip and slurp your way across South Australia. The only thing you need to take with you is a good appetite!
A common ingredient in the food here is beef. Another is dairy products. They're worth giving a try if they're not already a part of your food repertoire.
Ask one of the locals for their food recommendations and salt and pepper squid will probably be the first thing they mention. Meat pie is another of the area's signature dishes you might like to sample.
'Stressed' spelled backwards is 'desserts', and we don't think that's a coincidence. There's no more delightful way to let your troubles melt away than with peach melba, a sweet treat often found on dinner tables here.
It can be hard to separate the wheat from the chaff when it comes to good quality beers, but one brew worth sampling is Southwark Premium. Grab one and bottoms up!
Familiar with Bundaberg Spiced Rum? It's one of the most fun ways to get the party going in South Australia. Have a taste and then order a few shots!
Watch out for Coonawarra Cabernet Sauvignon and Riverina Chardonnay on the wine lists. They're well-known regional favourites for both connoisseurs and novices alike.
Like to know where the nearest airport is? Well, it's Adelaide Airport (ADL) and you can find it 130 kilometres to the southeast.
Wake up with a smile if you book yourself in at one of our more popular accommodations, such as the Wallaroo Marina Apartments and Kadina Gateway Motor Inn.
