Adelaide
If Adelaide were a dining table, it would be overflowing with the riches and magnificent offerings from the southern state of South Australia.
Cutting a fine swathe down the centre of town is Rundle Mall. Lined with over 800 cool and enticing shops, it’s a favourite destination in its own right for locals and visitors alike. And with over 700 restaurants, bars and cafes to choose from, no wonder Adelaide is known for relaxing, taking in the finer things of life and living at a pace where you can savour every minute and just simply enjoy it.
Beautiful and bold sandstone buildings stand proud on the edges of the generous boulevards and streets and framework Adelaide’s natural beauty. At street level there’s a subtle urban vibe that hums a harmonious tune with the unique cultural heritage upon which Adelaide was founded and still proudly enjoys.
A city of precincts, Adelaide is a place to explore. A walking tour of North Terrace, Adelaide’s cultural boulevard, reveals the city’s deep heritage. Tandanya – the National Aboriginal Cultural Institute and the Aboriginal Cultures Gallery in the South Australian Museum bring Australia’s often unseen heritage to the fore. Walk on through the splendour of the Adelaide Botanic Garden before you end up with a glass in your hand at the National Wine Centre.
It’s not uncommon to hold a wine glass in Adelaide - the city is arguably the epicentre of Australia’s world-class wine industry. With McLaren Vale, Coonawarra, the Barossa and Clare Valleys all within a couple of hours of the city, the region proudly produces and delivers some of Australia’s best and universally acclaimed vintages to the world.
Walls of posters in East Rundle Street will tell you at a glance what’s on in town. A glance at the never-ending but always changing array of sporting events, gigs, bands, festivals, operas and carnivals quickly tells you that this is a city that’s alive and kicking.
Like most major Australian cities, Adelaide is prepared to share its love of the beach. Glenelg, just a short drive or bus ride from town, is a place to get your feet wet and splash about in the sea. Further away from town the abundant sunshine calls you to get into top gear and cruise the coast where endless beaches and deep blue waters ribbon the shores of Gulf St Vincent.
But Adelaide has so many different precincts you may not even want to get out of town, and that’s understandable. Gouger Street and the dining hotspots of North Adelaide are a must on the list.
Whatever you find in Adelaide, you know it will be the best.
