Fleurieu peninsula

The fleurieu (floor-ee-oh) peninsula has rolling hills and sweeping valleys to justify its sing-songy name. The kauma tell the story of tjilbruke, who carried the body of his slain nephew down the coast to cape jervis from where the adelaide suburb Marion now sits. Each time that tjilbruke stopped along the way and wept for his nephew, a spring welled up from the ground. From these tears grew the lush section of South Australia that stretches southeast from adelaide, encompassing the hills and wineries of Mclaren vale. The fleurieu peninsula also boasts the small-town attractions of victor harbor and miles of coastline that include some of the best beaches in South Australia.
