If you do not drive but want to get around to some of the more beautiful spots in South Australia you are going to end up on a coach (or bus) at some point in time and the chances are it will be a Premier Stateline coach. Say, for example, you want to go visit some place like Victor Harbor down the coast to check out the migrating whales teaching their young to swim. Possibly you want to spend a few days in historic Port Elliot beyond Victor. The only way you are going to get there and back is on one of these coaches.
For under $100.00 you can go return down to these destinations, in fact well under that price will see you on a return trip with plenty of change left over for food and maybe even a tip for the driver. Most of the fellows behind the wheels of this service know the areas they are driving through very well, and can answer your questions with ease, but be warned, once you start chatting with them they may not let you stop!
The journey from Adelaide down to Goolwa via Victor Harbor and Port Elliot is a long one, and sometimes you may find yourself surrounded by all the local kids if you are travelling on the early morning bus or mid afternoon bus. Don't be afraid to ask them to keep the noise down if they become irritating.
There are not a lot of services running, and there are lots of destinations around the state you may wish to visit, so make sure you book in advance and check all the times in order to have a happy trip.
The buses leave the city from the unmissable Central Bus Station in between Grote Street and Franklin Street, and although there are other pickup spots in the city this is by far the most reliable; this is also where you can purchase tickets. Other ticket outlets besides the Internet are Willunga (Freight only) at the Caltex Service Station, Victor Harbor's Whyte House Gallery in Stuart Street and Goolwa's Caltex Service Station at 36 Cadell Street where you can also only book Freight. read more
