ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA

ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA

Your Down Under Travel Specialists

Adelaide South Australia

Adelaide South Australia is located in the lower central region of Australia. If you are looking for a city that is full of culture, arts & entertainment, culinary and wine delights, and festivals galore then you have to visit Adelaide and South Australia! Home to some of the best entertainment and sporting events such as the Adelaide Festival, Adelaide Film Festival, Adelaide Fringe, and the annual agricultural show and state fair The Royal Adelaide Show. Festival season begins in early autumn.  Foodies are not left out, they have a festival for that too. The Adelaide Hills Crush Festival is a celebration all things to eat and drink and even clothing to wear! The Crush is held towards the end of the winter.

South Australia is a wine and wilderness lovers delight with Kangaroo Island, The Barossa Valley, The Limestone Coast, and Murray River.

From Adelaide you can take a leisurely free tram ride to beachy Glenelg, a lovely seaside resort in Holdfast Bay.

If you are looking for something a bit different then let us organize you a 2 or 5 night trip cruising the famous Murray River on a paddle steamer.

Things to see and do in Adelaide South Australia

Take a stroll along the cultural stretch of North Terrace.  Close by is the Art Gallery of South Australia; The Migration Museum, a social history museum detailing the early settlers to the region; and the State Library.

The Adelaide Oval – the legendary cricket ground hosts interstate and international cricket matches in summer and AFL and state football games in winter.  The Oval is also home to the statue of one of the greatest players of all, Sir Donald Bradman and the Bradman Collection.

Antique lovers will appreciate the Martindale Hall, an 1880 manor home and The Carrick Home, a period home with nearly all of the original contents and grounds intact!

For live music lovers The Governor Hotel or “The Gov” as the locals call it is the best live music venue in Adelaide with local and international musicians.

For lovers of wine, Adelaide can be the starting point for tours of the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and Clare Valley vineyards.  Chateau Yaldara, Peter Lehmann, Langmeil Winery and the Murray Street vineyards are just a few of the gems where you can stop for a tour and a tasting. Langmeil Winery houses one of Australia’s oldest surviving vineyard. The iconic Freedom Shiraz is produced from their 160 year-old vines The Barossa Gourmet weekend is held every August and is an opportunity for each cellar door to showcase their wines and local gourmet delights.

The Barossa Valley is home to the Butcher, Baker, and Winemaker Trail that celebrates the culinary traditions of the region. You can sample some of the local fruits and cheeses all with a glass of wine of course!

One of Australia’s most loved cooks, Maggie Beer has opened a culinary shop chocked full of local produce and merchandise. Tastings are available, as well as limited edition produce and cooking demonstrations.

Kangaroo Island is home to sea lions, wallabies, koalas, birds, fish and other marine life.  You may even get to meet some of the little penguins on the Kingscote foreshore. Flinder’s Chase is the islands largest park, other attractions include Remarkable Rocks and The Admiral Arch.  We suggest at least an overnight in a local home stay on Kangaroo Island.

Adelaide is also the gateway for the famous Ghan Train which goes to Alice Springs and up north to Darwin.

Whether you are from Phoenix, Montreal or in-between this region is well worth a good 4 day stopover to experience all it has to offer.
