Adelaide is Australia's fifth largest city. Adelaide is the only major metropolis in the world to have its city centre completely surrounded by parkland. Today, driving along King William Street towards the Torrens, the layout of this city is immediately evident. Past the Adelaide Oval, considered by many one of the finest-looking traditional cricket grounds in the world, you cross the Torrens River to arrive at North Terrace. (For children, a trip on Popeye, a launch that plies the river from near the Festival Centre to the Adelaide Zoo, is a great outing.) This tree-lined boulevard has many fine buildings: Government House, the State Library, the South Australian Museum, the Art Gallery of South Australia (which contains the larges collection of Aboriginal artifacts in the world and Adelaide University. A little further along, past the Royal Adelaide Hospital, are the Botanical Gardens and the State Herbarium, begun in 1855. These gardens include the oldest glasshouse in an Australian botanical garden, and the only Museum of Economic Botany; the Conservatory contains a tropical rainforest. The the west of King William Street is Parliament House, completed in 1939; a little further along, in what once was the Adelaide Railway Station is the Adelaide Casino.
Continuing along King William Street you come to Rundle and
Hindley Streets - the former is the shopping heart of Adelaide, the latter is the
night spot centre - then the town hall. A little further south is Victoria
Square, with lawns and a fountain, the terminus for the Glenelg tram, and the
clock tower of the GPO. King William Street continues to South Terrace, where
gardens and parks, including the rose garden and conservatory and the Himeji
Gardens (a traditional Japanese garden), make up the southern perimeter of the
city proper.
Being so close to the Barossa Valley and the wineries of the
Vales to the south, it is no wonder that Adelaide boasts more restaurants per
capita than any other city in Australia. Hindley and Rundle Streets in the
heart of the city, Gouger Street, close to Victoria Square, and O'Connell and
Melbourne Streets in North Adelaide are the best places to go. Eating out three
meals a day can get expensive for travellers. But an Adelaide hostel offers
guests a free breakfast and self-catering facilities to prepare other meals.
Glenelg, on the coast just 10 km from the city centre, and a city
in its own right, is the summer playground for Adelaide residents and visitors
- the larges amusement park in the State, and many restaurants, are here. Port
Adelaide, 25 minutes west of the city, is home to the South Australian Maritime
Museum, the Historic Military Vehicles Museum, and the South Australian
Historical Aviation Museum, among others. Here you can also cruise on an old
sailing ketch, or take a steam train ride along the old Semaphore Railway. More

The beaches south of Port Adelaide (including Glenelg) are ideal
places to swim and many have a jetty where kids and adults can dangle a line.
Further south the beaches are even better; surfers love the breaks in and
around Christies Beach, Moana and Seaford. For divers there are the reefs and
marine sanctuaries at Port Noarlunga or at Aldinga. The nearby Mount Lofty
Ranges offer other nature experiences - seeing native animals close up at
Cleland Wildlife Park, picnics and day bushwalks at Belair National Park, and
rock climbing at Morialta Falls Conservation Park.
Any mention of Adelaide must include reference to its major
international festival, the Adelaide Festival, held in March; artists from
around the world come to perform here. There are a host of other festivals and
events, including Adelaide Fringe Festival in February, the Oakbank Racing
Carnival in April, the Royal Adelaide Show in late August/early September, and
the International Rose Festival in October. In the Adelaide Hills, the Barossa
Valley or down along the Fleurieu Peninsula there are many other festivals.

For the history buff there are the Mortlock Library of historical
material, the Migration and Settlement Museum and the South Australian Police
Museum, and the SA Theatre Museum, a magnificent complex of halls and theatres.
