Drone Videos of South Australia

Contributor Australian Embrace created this beautiful aerial look at the coastline of the state of South Australia.  Less well known than the coastal areas of Queensland, New South Wales, and Victoria, the coastline of South Australia is equally beautiful and quite distinctive looking.  With somewhat calmer waters on the Great Australian Bight and calmer still in the waters of the Gulf of St. Vincent, the beauty of the SA coast is much more about the shoreline and the rolling green hills behind it.

Behold this marvelous video of the beautiful city of Adelaide, Australia from top contributor Sandrine Hecq.  The capital of the state of South Australia, Adelaide offers a more relaxed urban environment compared to Sydney and Melbourne.  While its skyline lacks the skyscrapers of some of Australia's other large cities, its natural backdrop makes it amongst the most attractive.  Situated on the St. Vincent Gulf, the coastline around Adelaide is backed by high cliffs, beyond which lies the Outback.

AirVuz contributor and pilot petraleary brings us this fantastic drone video from the Australian Outback.  The video was shot over South Australia in the course of performing some commercial work for Ford.  The giant state covers well over a million square km (around 400k square mi.) - about the combined area of the USA states of California and Texas.  Across this vast territory live fewer than two million people, the vast majority of whom live on the state's (southern) coastline in and around the city of Adelaide. 

Kangaroo Island is a large island of the state of South Australia.  In effect it forms part of St. Vincent Gulf, at the head of which is the state's capital and largest city Adelaide.  In addition to its lighthouses (critical in this area for navigation), Kangaroo Island is known in part for an important bird sanctuary which lies on the island.  In this video, contributor Shaneyshots flew a DJI Mavic Pro drone over this amazing island, the country's third largest by area after Tasmania and Melville.

One of Australia's more amazing topographical features is the Great Australian Bight.  The bay formed by this gigantic bend lies off the country's southern coast, covering (depending on geographical definitions) between two and four of its states.  The core part of the Bight is the area off of the Nularbor, a giant treeless area with coastal cliffs that runs for hundreds of mi/km.  In this video, Airscape gives us a bird's eye view of these cliffs with a dronie pull-out shot over the Bight in South Australia. 

Content creator and pilot Michael Nunzio used a DJI Mavic Pro drone to create this beautiful aerial video of one South Australia's most well known beaches.  Port Noarlunga is one of the small towns that line the coast of St. Vincent Bay south of the South Australian state capital of Adelaide.  Like a number of these communities, it began as a port and has transitioned into a beach community.  It's a popular spot for swimmers and sunbathers, and its long offshore reef attracts many scuba divers.

Check out this beautiful drone video of a stunning spot in southern Australia, compliments of contributor gvernoncp.  Robe is a fishing port situated in the southeastern corner of the state of South Australia, not far from the border with the neighboring state of Victoria.  It's part of an area known as the Limestone Coast, which lies well to the south and east of SA's state capital Adelaide.  One of the oldest towns in South Australia, during the 19th century it was the second busiest port in SA after Adelaide.  

Contributor hittheroadlat created this beautiful drone video of one of South Australia's most beautiful parks.  The Hallett Cove Conservation Park is located in a suburb of the South Australian capital city Adelaide, towards the southern end of St. Vincent Bay.  The park is home to some highly unusual geological phenomenon caused by a combination of fault patterns and glaciation processes.  The area has been declared a geological monument by the country's governing geological society.  

The state of South Australia covers an enormous land area - well over a million square km or around 400k square mi., roughly the combined size of the USA states of Texas and California.  With most of the state's population concentrated in Adelaide and other towns along its southern coast, the state's interior is home to some of the most remote territory on earth.  The South Australian "Outback" is the subject of this stunning drone video by petraleary, which was filmed in collaboration with Ford Australia.        

Port Lincoln is an extremely prosperous port town in the state of South Australia.  It's located near the tip of the Eyre Peninsula, a triangular land mass which is formed by the Spencer Gulf to the east and the Great Australian Bight to the west.  It is an important grain handling port, and is strategically situated with respect to some of the country's most productive wheat-growing areas.  With a population of a bit over 15,000, it's reputed to be the home of the most millionaires per capita of any city in the country.  

St. Peter's Cathedral is an important church in Adelaide, the capital of the state of South Australia.  Seen in this drone video by contributor NATURE BY DRONE, the church is the seat of the Archbishop of Adelaide.  It's situated just north of the center of the city, across the River Torrens.  While the first part of the Gothic Revival style church was consecrated in 1878, its external structure wasn't completed until 1904.  It is considered one of the most notable architectural landmarks in Adelaide, Australia's fifth-largest city.    

Contributor and pilot Eye Fly Drones created this beautiful bird's eye view of Australia's Coffin Bay.  The bay is created by an extension of the Eyre Peninsula, which lies a bit to the west of the city of Adelaide in the state of South Australia.  Coffin Bay is a recreational boater's dream, with numerous coves and other protected areas for enjoying the beautiful and ever-present Australian sunshine.  The land forming the western and southern edges of the bay forms part of Coffin Bay National Park.

Somewhat confusingly, Port Adelaide is actually not part of the city of Adelaide, the capital of the state of South Australia.  Port Adelaide was built to serve as the port for the city, which actually sits a few km/mi inland from the Gulf of St. Vincent.  Built on what were originally mangrove swamps, the port is one of the largest in Australia by freight volume and key to the country's agricultural exports.  In this video, Eye Fly Drones captures this important seaport from a bird's eye perspective.  

Contributor Australian Embrace created this beautiful drone video of a well known stretch of the South Australian coastline.  It's called Port Wilunga, and it's one of the bedroom suburbs which line St. Vincent's Gulf south of the SA capital city Adelaide.  The crystal blue and almost eerily calm waters distinguish these world class beaches from the surfing-oriented beaches in the eastern part of the country.  The town of Port Wilunga lies roughly halfway between Adelaide and Cape Jervis.

Almost three quarters of the population of the state of South Australia (the fifth largest of Australia's seven states by population) live in the Adelaide metropolitan area.  Many of these 1.3 million people reside in the suburbs that are arrayed to the south of the city along the coast of St. Vincent's Bay.  In this video, contributor Worldnus gives us a nice aerial look at  Port Noarlunga, one of these Adelaide suburbs.  It lies directly south of the capital, about a third of the way to Cape Jervis.
