 Adelaide is often referred to as a 'city within a park' because it is completely surrounded by green space.
Adelaide's remarkable parklands let the city breathe. Colonel William Light plotted this ring of parklands in his original plan of the city in 1837. It contains 29 parks - an amazing 45 per cent of the city area. Since the earliest days of the colony, they've been preserved and enhanced as an important natural asset to the city.

Explore Adelaide's Wine & Food
 Adelaide is the centre of South Australia's booming wine industry. And the closest vineyard is a cork toss from the city centre.
At the end of North Terrace, the National Wine Centre is a showcase for Australia's wine industry and includes a wine-tasting gallery, an interactive exhibit that covers all aspects of winemaking and a working vineyard. You'll find Penfolds Magill Estate in the Adelaide foothills. Drop in for tastings, or join a winery tour - including one about Australia's most famous wine, Grange.

It's on
There's a café on East Rundle Street where every inch of wall space is papered with event posters. There are at least a hundred of them - posters for sporting events, local gigs, drama performances, the opera, art festivals, carnivals for kids. Not unusual for a café looking for a bit of ambience, you might think -
until you realise that all the posters are for things that are
happening that month.
