Adelaide Vacations

Adelaide is in the State of South Australia. It is close to the Barossa Valley wine area, with day and extended tours available to the vineyards. Hahndorf (a historical German settlement) and Kangaroo Island are both near Adelaide and popular with visitors. The city has a mild climate, with winters warm and summers hot and dry. Flights are available to cities on the East Coast of Australia, including Sydney and Melbourne, with onward connections to Adelaide available with Qantas, Virgin Blue or Jetstar.

In keeping with its climate, Adelaide, capital of South Australia, has a Mediterranean ambience as it straddles the Torrens River, filled with churches, gardens, civic buildings, sidewalk cafes and a plethora of museums, galleries and festivals catering to the culturally inclined. The city was originally laid out in 1836 by Colonel Light in a square mile (three sq km) grid of wide streets with gracious colonial architecture. This has resulted in a compact inner city area, geared for easy exploring on foot, allowing the central area to be surrounded with hectares of parklands, walking trails, sports grounds and picnic areas on the banks of the river.

Adelaide Attractions

Australia's third largest island is home to colonies of sea lions, fairy penguins, pelicans, marine life and, of course, kangaroos, and provides so much to do and discover that visitors are advised to stay for at least two days.

The Flinders Ranges, one of the few elevated landmasses in South Australia, is the gateway to the State's outback, offering rugged and spectacular scenery best seen at daybreak or sunset when the colours come alive.
