South Australia
South Australia stretches from the Adelaide Plains and the Murray-Darling basin to the vast arid lands of the north, including the ancient Flinders Ranges. The Kaurna of the Adelaide region, the Ngarrindjeri of the Lower Murray, and the desert peoples of the far north each maintain distinct cultural traditions.
