Information about Adelaide

Why Adelaide? Adelaide is South Australia’s coastal capital with more of a "small town" feeling compared to some of the other major Australian cities. It stretches twenty kilometres from the coast to the foothills and enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm to hot summers and cool, and sometimes rainy winters. In the centre of town is Victoria Square, a vibrant, 19th-century market specialising in fresh produce. The region offers plenty of opportunities for adventure and exploring due to its many cycling trails, vineyards and hilly regions.
