venere08: Hey Lou
Adelaide is buzzing, and right now we have the Tour Down Under. Pity about the copper's bike causing all those injuries yesterday!
Feb is a fab month to be here especially. You will love it. Then report back to all the knockers here who have no idea how great our city is, and the fab State we are in. Just about anything is here, from beaches to wineries, to desert regions up north. And tons in between.
A great city beach is Henley Beach. For resort style feel, go to the 'The Bay' in Glenelg, just hop on to the new tram at Victoria Square and take you straight there.
Choice of 2 main winery districts. The Barossa is in the countryside, north of Adelaide, gorgeous spots there. And McLaren Vale in the south about 40min from city, near southern beaches, such as Aldinga. Fab hills regions, with famous Adelaide Hills with quaint townships, then also walking trails...
Let me know more specifically and will try to help with info. Rundle Street on the East End, in the city is a great little place, tones of cafes, restaurants, little boutiques, then on other under of Rundle Street is the shopping mall.
Festival Fringe and Festival of Arts and Womadelaide, huge music festival, are all coming up Feb/March.
Anyway, enjoy!
WOW, thanks heaps for that!! Much appreciated! Barossa Valley sounds like a goer! I would love to go there. Too many things now and I will start fantasising about it already
Thanks again!
