The Krill Have Been Removed for Remedial Treatment
... this: the tourist "attractions" aren't much to brag about. But as far as city atmosphere goes, I thought Adelaide had it. I went out to the South Australia museum, which had the usual run of taxidermied animals and fossils and big ol' rocks, and was ...
Naracoorte - Adelaide
... years. And to make the most of the free wine we have a brunch of a red wine at Stonehaven winery before heading on towards Adelaide. While driving the very long, very straight and very empty road Thomas is pulled over by a very nasty cop (old and grey ...
Adelaide City
... the post office where we had to pay evil speeding fine) and lots of statues dotted around town. On our last day in South Australia we headed out to Glenelg to visit the Rodney Fox shark musuem. This guy is a legend! He was attacked by a Great White ...
Lions and tigers and bears! Oops, wrong animals.
When we left their house in the morning we went and explored the Adelaide hills. (On the way though we realized we didn't even get a picture with Marie and Denny our lovely hosts, damnit!) While there we visited the Cleland conservation park, it had all ...
South Australia
Our vehicles arrived into Melbourne by ship from Calcutta in late January and we have been home in Adelaide for 5 months now and found it a little difficult getting into the thrust and parry of work. It was great to see our family and ...
The road trip begins - Sydney to Adelaide
... the start of our road trip from Sydney to Adelaide which would take us three days! Now this is what we think Australia should look like. Red earth at the side of the road, stark trees and a breeze through the window that burns your nose if ...
Farewell Adelaide
Adelaide airport had a sad farewell for us with the girls in tears and Ava (our grand daughter) wanting to come with us. The realization of the length of our intended journey hit with a bang and I almost wanted to turn around and go home. Malaysian ...
Beaches, Wine Barrels and My Own Wheels
... and the precious gold oil. After spending a few quiet nights in Tanunda and Hahndorf,one of the Adelaide Hills most famous towns, it is Australia's oldest surviving German settlement. Next I head south to the open lands bordering the incredible Limestone ...
Forgive us for we have Zinned
... to the Welly Hotel where Bryson had sat down in a dark corner for the afternoon reading his newly purchased books on Australia's numerous dangerous creatures. I ordered a pint of Coopers just as Bryson had while the brunette stuck to white wine. It was ...
Touring Adelaide
... delicious. After supper Marie wrote down some more addresses and got on the phone with a couple more sibling for us to stop in for a visit with; she said she wanted us to have a great time and feel loved in Australia, and we can say we definately ...
Just kidding...The REAL deal on Sydney etc.
... . Upon our arrival in Australia, (or ASStralia, as one of Chris' students typed into the computer and a webpage, definitely not on Australia, appeared) we hung out in Sydney for a few days. We enjoyed the sun, the warmth and some of the great ...
Day 220
We got to Alice Springs around 2pm and the girls leave the train here for a few days in Alice while I continue to Darwin. Since the train is stationary here for a few hours I decided to go with the girls to the hostel to book my accommodation and tours ...
Visiting Francis' Mom and then Sister, Marie
... a shower there which was nice considering we hadn't showered in a couple days. After we left Lucy's house we made our way towards Adelaide. Along the way we went to check out a 1.7km long ferry in Port Germaine; it must have been the heat going to our ...
Stars, Camels And Idiocy
... on the side of the road frequently warn you of the dangers of roving Kangaroos, Emus and..... Camels. It's easy to forget Australia has wild camels. Kangaroos, pretty obvious really - cornerstone of their culture you could say. Emus too.... Doesn't really ...
Adelaide Weekend
... Qantas flight was delayed again so my weekend started with lurking around the airport for ages before finally getting picked up at Adelaide airport.. by sign wielding maniacs! The next morning we went to the Botanic Gardens for a quick peek and a ...
A Bit of a Prologue
... all six months of crazy work, made possible by the how welcoming all the people in each of these hospitals were. Six days in Adelaide running around like a crazy man trying to make sure I have covered everything and now the time has come. The bag is ...
Adelaide
... (which apparently only runs on Sundays) to Glenelg and discovered where all the 'adelaidians' (is that plural for people from Adelaide?) hang out. Glenelg is a lovely spot by the sea and a great place to people watch. There's a Marina there too. ...
Adventures in Adelaide
... lucky because the weather had been terrible, but cleared up just for five minutes for us!! On our last night in Adelaide, Melanie invited us to a wine tasting... she's a graphic designer and designs labels for some of the local wineries and ...
Day 219
... 't met too many folk from the South West so three in one go was nice! The Ghan takes a little longer than the Perth-Adelaide trip I'd done but spending hours and days on a train doesn't seem like a chore to me. Taking a four hour train in England ...
Growth
... but they've now changed hands and expanded and added an amazingly expensive giftshop. They had bars of lavender soap for $7!!!! I love Adelaide too, although I guess it can be a bit quiet if you don't know where to go. We stayed with my brother, ...
A nice place to live
... with, including Jess and Deb mentioned above, and as I just recently found out, Sarah, one of the Central City "orphans" that I spent Australia Day with. If I don't get cabin fever, I'm sure I'll have plenty to report from the West Coast. And if I do get ...
Fringe
... hundred party goers and the night got quite crazy and so our plans to leave the next day were once again delayed. Adelaide had so many other events happening in and around our time there from concerts, sporting fixtures and festivals and the place is ...
Welcome to Adelaide??
The only reason we were coming to Adelaide in the first place was to see U2 playing, and they have abviously cancelled. We booked the flights months back and couldn't change them so we just tried to make the most of it. Our taxi driver gave us a ...
Cultural walk around Adelaide
... it happens, it was the 'Migration' museum, all about people that have emigrated to Australia from across the World. Apparently, Adelaide (and South Australia as a whole) was a convict free zone, so emigrating here was quite popular. To be fair, there were ...
Madelaide
... visited so far, this would be last on the list. However out of the 1.5 million people living in South Australia, one million of them are right here in Adelaide. We don't want to discourage anyone from visiting, as it is a nice place to chill with lots of ...
Catchya Adelaide!
... trying to pack in as much of the travel experience as possible while also working full time should be a challenge. But for this little hyperactive Adelaide lad on his first autonomous trip abroad it should be an absolute blast! Bon voyage and Bula ...
Whistle-stop Adelaide
... which as you might imagine is kept at a dlightly warmer temperature, but this allows a range of plant species (and a few birds) from throughout Australia to be grown all in one place. When I was buying my ticket I found that I only had a $50 (approx ...
Big Town Adelaide
... (not that type) that had been lacking of late. From the looks of the notices pinned up in the hostel offering/looking for rides Adelaide seems to serve as more of a place people pass through than stay which is a shame given the laid back feel, or ...
A Great Place (to Live)
... just how few things there really were to do here when that could almost be the highlight of the day. With Australia defeating (understatement) England at the Ashes the returning Aussie and English fans staying in the hostel at least made for plenty of ...
Full House
... guy who swore to kill me unless I gave him a dollar. Declining his offer I tried not to upset the midget too much since he looked a little pregnant before returning to the hostel to find it crowded out with more cricketeers from both England and ...
