   I currently live in Adelaide, and despite what some people might say there is a fair bit of touristy stuff to do in and around here.

   Barossa Valley and Adelaide Hills wine regions are all easy day trip.

   Victor Harbour is a good beach summer escape.

   Heaps of arts and film festivals on over summer, the months of March and April are a real hive of activity in the CBD, with Fringe Festival, Caberet fest, Jazz fest, performing arts etc etc

   Isn’t SA just one big desert?

   With a few churches in the little town of Adelaide?

   Lucky they make wine…

   Yeh well the way the Murray is looking it will just be a desert soon and no wine at all

   Coopers is a damn fine beer also. Locally made in SA.

   If your ever in town Kennas let me know and i’ll show you all the churches

   i moved here from cairns so logically i should have nothing but bad things to say about this place… but… i find adelaide charming. It’s a slow paced city with a kind of arty, sophisticated quality to it.

   From Adelaide you can visit some delightful places, the flinders ranges, the barossa valley, kangaroo island and the pie shop at truro. You also have monato zoo which holds a mini safari.

   I’m off to Adelaide then!

   Steeped in culture.

   Do they serve the pies upside down in pea soup?

   LOL

   oh, my apologies, i didn’t realise i was talking to such a distinguished food Connoisseur. i know we offered a place at our dinner table next time you’re in Adelaide but i now retract that. i think you might be more suited to The Manse just around the corner from us.

   my feelings are that if you can’t enjoy a humble country pie then you’ve been away from Australia too long!

   For a real pie, you need to go to the Pie in the Sky in Olinda in the Dandenong Ranges 20km east of Melbs, or the Beachworth Bakery, 30km south of Albury Wodonga.

   Then we can talk pies!

   I’ve never lived in SA but I’ve been to Adelaide quite a few times and I still haven’t done any of those things. Every trip has been a blast though and I’ll hopefully be back again.

   Good to see they’ve built a replacement for the mountain thing at Glenelg as it was a shame to not have it there after they knocked the old one down. Had a go on the water slides etc at the old one (in the middle of Winter!) first time I was there and I was at the new one a couple of weeks ago. All good…

   The most recent trip was largely spent at the Def Leppard concert and out and about all night partying though so I’m not the stereotypical visitor to SA. I’ve seen a few other bands there too - Offspring, Motorhead and Motley Crue come to mind.

   yeah, that’s a plus for me in adelaide. coming from cairns there are def more concerts, plays, music festivals etc.

   it’s great in that respect because it’s a small city or a big country town (whichever way you want to look at it) but we still have most of the big events that go through australia. the one i’m looking forward to at the moment in steriosonics.

   these events might not be as big or crazy as the same ones in bigger cities but they still do the job.
