Springbok Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Hi Adelaideans,The Springbok will be trotting over to your town this coming long weekend... any suggestions for "MUST-SEE" things and places will be appreciated. Barossa and McLaren Vale is already on the list. Just trying to get a diverse range of opinions...ThanksCharl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SASydneysider Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 (edited) Hi Charl,Make sure you have time to walk in the city. If you're into photographing old buildings and churches, Adelaide has many of them. Don't miss the Cathedral, similar to St Mary's in Sydney. I can't now remember if it was called St Andrews Cathedral. Someone once told me Adelaide is called the City of Churches!Don't forget to visit Hahndorf!Enjoy your visit!SAS Edited September 24, 2007 by SASydneysider Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jongman Posted September 24, 2007 Report Share Posted September 24, 2007 Give the aboriginal natural arts museum in north terrace a go!! Make sure to go to Gelnelg!! The Beaches are amazing. If you can make it to Brighton, give it a bash.Try Mount Barker!!! Just driving around!!Oh and Handorf is an amazing place to visit!!!if you can, take a drive through Stirling! (Just to have a look) Oh and for a bit of night action, take a tour of Hindley street at night!You must go through Rundle mall!!! (Go passed the mall's balls)Try the David Jones arcade!The list goes on and on Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marius Posted September 25, 2007 Report Share Posted September 25, 2007 If you are into native animals, visit Cleland conservation park, you can hand feed all sorts of native animals and see them up close but not in a zoo environment, more open. If time permits you may want to visit Kangeroo island and Victor Harbour if you go "down South" of Adelaide. Yes sunset at Glenelg is almost a must, fish and chips wrapped in paper on the grass banks is optional Enjoy Adelaide and welcome ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed with friends in Glenelg, right on the beach. Visited Penfolds Grange for wine-tasting as well as a few cellar doors in McLaren Vale. Didn't have time for Barossa, but maybe next time. The Adelaide Hills are stunning, reminded me a bit of Wales / Ireland... had lunch at a German restaurant in Hahndorf, went to Mount Lofty, walked along the Torrens river in the city, took the tram back to Glenelg. Very nice new airport too. So overall I was really impressed.I'll be back in Adelaide next weekend already, let's just say it's not for the sake of seeing Adelaide...
