This festival features all the acts that don't make the cut

Clipsal 500
(

)
Mulleted bogans rejoice as Adelaide's city streets become a
four-day Holden-versus-Ford racing track. High-pitched engine whine resonates through
the suburbs.
April
The Adelaide Hills are atmospheric as European trees turn golden then ma-
roon. Up north the rain is abating and the desert temperatures are manage-
able. Easter = pricey accommodation everywhere.
