Adelaide & South Australia - Central Australia: Adelaide to Darwin - page 102

Just down the tram tracks is beachy Glenelg, Adelaide with its guard down and board-
shorts up; and Port Adelaide, a historic enclave slowly developing into SA's version of
Fremantle. Inland, Adelaide's winking plains rise to the Adelaide Hills, just 12 minutes
up the freeway. The Hills' gorgeous valley folds, old-fangled towns and cool-climate
vineyards are all close at hand.
ADELAIDE IN…
Two Days
If you're here at Festival, WOMADelaide or Fringe time, lap it up. Otherwise, kick-
start your day at the Central Market ( Click here ) then wander through the
Adelaide Botanic Garden ( Click here ) , finishing up at the National Wine Centre
( Click here ). After a few bohemian beers at the Exeter ( Click here ) hotel, have a
ritzy dinner on Rundle St. Next day, visit the South Australian Museum ( Click
here ) and then see if the Bradman Collection Museum at the Adelaide Oval ( Click
here ) has reopened. Check out Tandanya National Aboriginal Cultural Institute
( Click here ) before riding the tram to Glenelg for a swim and fish and chips on the
sand.
Four Days
Follow the two-day itinerary − perhaps slotting in the Art Gallery of South Aus-
tralia ( Click here ) and Jam Factory Contemporary Craft & Design Centre ( Click
here ) − then pack a picnic basket of Central Market produce and take a day trip out
to the nearby Adelaide Hills, McLaren Vale or Barossa Valley wine regions. Next
day, truck out to the museums and historic pubs of Port Adelaide, then catch a
band at the Grace Emily Hotel ( Click here ) back in the city, before dinner on
Gouger St.
