Wintry weather might send many school holiday activities indoors but there is plenty on across the Fleurieu.

Keep warm in the great outdoors by running around at the local adventure playgrounds or rug up to go whale watching along the south coast.

The usual markets are on: the farmers markets on Saturday at Victor Harbor and Willunga; and the Sunday markets at the Goolwa Wharf, Victor Harbor Esplanade and at Penneshaw on Kangaroo Island.
