Just a little about our great City of Adelaide.....
Adelaide, the capital of South
Australia, is a civilised and calm city, that is home to
around one million people. It is divided into two parts,
Adelaide and North Adelaide, separated by Torrens River. A
diverse range of landscapes surround the city, including
green parkland, the Mount Lofty Ranges and coastal
beaches.
With a population of nearly a million people Adelaide is
Australia's fourth largest city. It is one of Australia's
few planned cities and its broad streets give it a sense
of openness and cleanliness which is missing from the more
haphazardous developments of Sydney and Melbourne. It is a
typical Mediterranean-style city
Adelaide's city centre has been well
planned and is made up of a grid of streets and various
squares. Being only one mile square makes it extremely
accessible. The main street (King William Street) runs
directly from north to south of the city through Victoria
Square, which is at the heart of the city.
Adelaide's climate is often
described as Mediterranean - mild winters and warm to hot summers.
It's a place to enjoy the good life. The warmest months
(December - February ) will captivate you with carefree outdoor
dining, perfect days on the beach or just alfresco cafe hopping.
Spring and autumn bring pleasant, mild days and nights to enjoy. The
average maximum summer temperature is 28º Celsius, while in winter
it drops to about 15º Celsius. Summer temperatures in the outback
regularly reach 40º Celsius.
