Adelaide
At the time of European settlement, the area that is now
Adelaide was occupied by the Kaurna people, a peaceful group numbering
around 300. Their territory extended south towards Cape Jervis and north
towards Port Wakefield, and they had close ties with the Narungga of
Yorke Peninsula.
Fine food, great wine, a sense of history and the good
life – can all be found in the elegant City of Adelaide – the capital of
South Australia and home to more than a million people. Every two years,
the Adelaide Festival of Arts and the Festival Fringe bring the City a
world-class extravaganza of cultural delights – these and other
festivals dotted throughout the year, give Adelaide its title as the
"Festival City".
Adelaide is the wine capital of Australia – six out of
the top 10 Australian wines are made within a few hours’ drive of the
City. The wine and festival capital of Australia, Adelaide is and one of
the most vibrant, stylish and innovative cities you'll ever visit. With
rolling hills, pristine beaches, a lively nightlife, galleries, cafes,
pubs, bookshops, fashion houses, antique stores, cellar doors and
National Parks.
Adelaide has more restaurants per person than any other
city in Australia and you'll find an extremely varied selection of
cuisines, price range, and styles. Expert chefs using superior quality
fresh ingredients mean that Adelaide has some exceptionally good
restaurants for those who enjoy fine dining.
Adelaide is one of the few cities in the world with dolphins living in
the suburbs. Swimming with these friendly animals is guaranteed on a
Temptation Sailing cruise, based at Glenelg’s Holdfast Shores Marina.
