Adelaide,
capital of South Australia, is a charming well planned city with a reputation
as a centre for arts, churches, culture and fine dining. Its bustling Central
Markets, Rundle Mall's shops and restaurants in Rundle Street are major draw
cards. Take a cruise on the River Torrens followed by a walk across the river
to North Adelaide. Alternatively, take a tram ride from the City centre to the
popular beachside suburb of Glenelg.
This
State offers a number of historic townships in the Adelaide Hills, beautiful
sandy beaches in the south, fertile wine regions (Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale,
Riverland, and Coonawarra) and harsh deserts heading north to central Australia
including the opal mining town of Coober Pedy and the scenery of Flinders
Ranges. Rugged coasts, lush pastures, pine forests, lakes and extinct volcanoes
can be found in the south east. A boat ride down the Murray River may also
appeal. Kangaroo Island and Victor Harbor are also popular tourist destinations
South of Adelaide.
