Adelaide: Small-Town Charm, Big-Time Attractions

South Australia's capital city combines small-town charm and big-time attractions in its setting of an oasis of green. A city of churches and a centre of the arts, Adelaide has more than simply meets the eye.

Breaking out of the city through the parklands that surround it, the Adelaide visitor can find new adventures in the nearby Adelaide Hills and at Kangaroo Island, the Flinders Ranges, the opal mining town of Coober Pedy, the Murray River and its paddle-steamers, and the wine regions of the Barossa Valley, Fleurieu Peninsula and Riverland.
