Adelaide, South Australia

Its wide sweeping streets, city squares and lush green boundaries make Adelaide an enchanting city to explore. And if you think that’s all there is to it, think again. You only need scratch the surface of the quiet achiever of Australian cities to tap into its hedonistic vein.

This epicurean playground boasts world-renown major events, spanning the cultured and cerebral, artistic and gastronomic, petrol-burning and sports crazed. The pleasure-seeking spirit flows from varied cuisines and magnificent wines through to the healthy live music and bar scene and numerous galas that celebrate a thriving arts community. During the innovative Adelaide Fringe Festival, the artistic flair of this historically progressive city truly emerges.

Beyond the City

South Australia (SA) entices visitors with an annual smorgasbord of festivals and events, from the Robe village fair to the world-renowned Womadelaide music festival. Once here, this enigmatic state uses wide beaches, emerald green waters, superlative wineries, native wildlife and the majesty of its outback landscapes to seduce visitors into extending their stays.

Perfectly positioned Adelaide, perched between white sandy beaches and forested hills, is home to some of the country’s best cultural offerings, not to mention gourmet wining and dining. The Barossa Valley is just 60km from the capital, bursting with vineyards and tipples tasty enough to tempt a monk. Or journey to the ochre-coloured Flinders Ranges where rugged ridges and dramatic bluffs sit under vast expanses of sky. To bond with rural SA, head for the lifeblood of the regional towns: the historic pubs. Grab yourself a finely poured Coopers beer and simply enjoy life.
