 South
Australia’s capital is Adelaide - an elegant
city of colonial architecture, clean beaches,
hills and parks. Set beside the Torrens River,
Adelaide was designed by Colonel William Light
in 1836 and was laid out on a square mile grid
of wide streets. All the inner city highlights
are within easy walking distance and it's almost
impossible to get lost. Adelaide’s people
enjoy a captivating blend of Mediterranean and
Australian lifestyles with good shopping, restaurants,
cafés and culture.
Just
20 minutes drive from the centre of town, the
Adelaide Hills offer a taste of country life
with great food, fine wines, stunning scenery
and heritage towns. Continue through the Hills
to the wine regions and enjoy the changing scenery
of market gardens interspersed with traditional
Australian bush land and lush pastures.
Wine has long dominated life in the Barossa
Valley and there are over 50 wineries ranging
from some of Australia’s largest through
to small individual wine makers. Explore German
and English-style villages, visit churches and
chateau, the local restaurants and cafes specialize
in serving regional foods, and butchers and
bakers offer traditional wursts, breads and
cakes.
The
gentle rolling hills of the Clare Valley are
dotted with some of Australia’s oldest
and most picturesque heritage towns and homesteads.
The Clare is also home to many acclaimed cool
climate wines and its vineyards remain small,
the emphasis on quality. Walking and cycling
trails are the ideal way to discover some of
the smaller boutique wineries hidden behind
weeping willows and tall red gums.
One
of the world's great rivers, the Murray River
dominates the land east of Adelaide. Flowing
2520kms from the Australian Alps to the Southern
Ocean it passes through snow-capped mountains,
rich agricultural country, past steep sandstone
cliffs, giant red gums, wetlands and vast tracts
of Mallee country. The Murray is famous for
its forests of red gums, paddle steamers, little-known
national parks, wildlife, bird life and the
spirit of long gone Aboriginal dwellers.
