Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia and the gateway to the Outback, world famous wine regions and the grand
Murray River. The city offers great opportunities for shopping along Rundle Mall, dining at over 700 fantastic restaurants, plus art and culture. The historic city dates from the 1830's when it
unique design was laid out by the forward thinking Colonel William Light, but now 1.25 million call the city home.
A short tram ride from the cruise ship terminal takes you into the
historic Port Adelaide district, a little further and you are in the heart of this cosmopolitan city, set out in the mid 1800's in a regular grid format, the city bounded on all sides by open
spaces and parks.
Within a short drive of the city you can be in the famous wine regions of the Barossa, McLaren Vale and the Clare Valley. The historic town of Hahndorf in the
Adelaide Hills is noted for its Germanic origins and also has a number of great wineries. Car buffs will be interested in the National Motor Museum at Birdwood.
Adelaide offers something for all tastes and interests. |
