Adelaide – The Perfect Destination
Nestled between the beautiful Adelaide Hills and the long white beaches of the Gulf of St Vincent, Adelaide is as temperate and green as it is charming and progressive.
The well planned city is easy to navigate due to its grid design, which features wide boulevards surrounded by parklands around the city centre. Its position on the banks of the picturesque Torrens River, among superb gardens, with the Adelaide Hills as a backdrop, gives the city a relaxed atmosphere.
The city’s name certainly evokes a sense of grace, which comes from Queen Adelaide, consort to King William IV who ruled Britain in the 1830’s. The first settlers began to arrive in 1836 from all over Europe, forming the beginnings of a diverse multicultural society.
Today, Adelaide retains much of the charm and tranquillity of the past, while offering all the vigour, multicultural diversity and conveniences of a modern city.
The people of Adelaide subscribe to the view that life is to be enjoyed and celebrated, which is evident through a rich tapestry of arts, culture and major events.
