I first came to Adelaide in 2002 at which point I was working on a master of education degree at the University of South Australia. It was a big change from what I was used to as I had been living in small town America. The obvious differences are the new location, new country, new situation and environment. The less obvious difference is the language. Yes we both speak English; no ... ...At first I came to Adelaide as a tourist, and I fell in love with the city and its people. Now I call Adelaide home and I can't imagine being anywhere else and being this happy. So why is Adelaide so great? I hope to give at least a few ideas here so sit back relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of Adelaide, South Australia.

...has BIG cities of which Adelaide is no exception. Last summer I had the pleasure of being invited to stay with a very distant cousin (in-law) in her home in Adelaide. Now when I say 'in' Adelaide I should explain she lives in a suburb 40 odd miles to the north of the city - a little place called Munno Para (just past Salisbury and on the way to Gawler - for any of you bright sparks who are familiar with the area). I expected this suburb to be maybe ... ...Adelaide so I was rather surprised to learn that it was a 45 - 50 minute train ride. This sort of distance on a train would mean that my relatives in Poole (Dorset) would in fact be in a suburb of my home town of Southampton (Hampshire). This thought confirmed the fact that Adelaide was indeed a great big city!
Regarding the train rides - I found the transport systems in South Australia to be amazing value for money. At it's most expensive (non-concession ...

...Bit of Background
--------------------------------
Adelaide is the principle town in the State of South Australia. South Australia actually borders all the other states and Territories, except the Australian Capital Territory, which is wholly contained within the New South Wales borders. To the West of the State, you will find the Great Victoria Desert and the Nullarbor National Park, and the Coast Road will eventually take you to Western Australia. ... ...lakes, deserts and mountains. Adelaide is on the coastline, and just off the coast lies Kangaroo Island. The Southern Ocean laps the coastline of South Australia, and here begins the great bay known as the Great Australian Bight.
Now the name of the town planner who designed Adelaide escapes me, although I have seen his statue somewhere in the city. The Central Business district is a square mile area, perfectly planned. The streets which enclose ...

...of William IV. Like Melbourne, Adelaide was NOT established as a penal colony, but was founded by free citizens mainly from Britain. Captain John Hindmarsh led the first settlers and they landed from their ship the HMS Buffalo in Holdfast Bay (now known as the City of Holdfast and incorporating Glenelg, which is Adelaide’s main beach area) in December 1826. The surveyor-general, Colonel William Light, with these first settlers, chose the site ... ...a basic guide to Adelaide. Adelaide is the capital city of the state of South Australia. Looking at a map, it's right down at the bottom of the country, not quite in the middle. To the West of the City is the Gulf of St. Vincent, to the East are the Mount Lofty Ranges (known to Adelaidians as the Adelaide Hills), to the North is the Barossa Valley and to the South is the Fleurieu Peninsula and McLaren Vale. Its population is around 1.5 million, which ...

Advantages: Well laid out, the Barossa Wine Region Disadvantages: Travelling time
I feel Adelaide is one of the most under-rated cities in Australia as many tourists head to the more famous cities such as Sydney and Melbourne and the Gold Coast. But believe me, Adelaide is well worth a visit if your are planning a trip down under. LOCATION
Adelaide is the capital of South Australia. Adelaide is 1377miles East of Perth and you'd have to travel west 410miles to reach Melbourne and 743 miles to Sydney. The city is on the banks of ... ...a few direct flights to Adelaide are available though flying from Britain you will often have to change either within Europe, often Amsterdam, or within Australia as there are regular internal flights between Adelaide and Melbourne or Sydney.
Personally, my journey was Teesside to Amsterdam, Amsterdam to Sydney, Sydney to Adelaide. It made for a longer journey but the timetable was such that there was little waiting around but in future if I was ...

I assume my book is the same as the one shown, though the front cover is much more "funky". My personal copy was called Let's Go! Australia, on a Budget.
Let's Go is an American series of travel guides but despite being English myself I still found it more
