I always thought South Australia was a fantastic state.

SOUTH Australia? Where’s that?
The festival state doesn’t get a mention in Lonely Planet’s new Best of Australia guide book.
The new edition, released today, offers up the “Ultimate Australia itinerary” — and while every other state and territory earns an inclusion, not one of the book’s 324 pages is dedicated to South Australia.
Despite a brief reference to Barossa Valley shiraz as one of Australia’s “world-beating” wines, the guide book doesn’t actually recommend a visit to the region.
Its suggested one-week itinerary covers Sydney to the Whitsundays, with a two-week holiday adding the NT.
Visits to Victoria, WA, Tasmania and the ACT are factored in as add-ons only for those staying longer than two weeks.
