Fleurieu Peninsula

About

In 1802, French navigator Nicolas Baudin dubbed the majestic Fleurieu Peninsula, situated along the coastline of present-day South Australia, in honour of fellow French explorer, Charles Pierre Claret de Fleurieu. This scenic camping haven extends from the vineyards of McLaren Vale to the rocky promontory of Cape Jervis on the western seafront, whilst the eastern coastline stretches from Cape Jervis to the charming town of Goolwa. This peninsula embraces the northern fringes of Lake Alexandrina, the vine scattered Langhorne Creek zone and the bustling township, Strathalbyn. Not to be missed is the breathtaking Hindmarsh Island, cradled in the mouth of the Murray, a spectacle that elevates the region's appeal amongst outdoor enthusiasts.
