WHAT SHOULD I DO IN SOUTH AUSTRALIA?

1. Artisan Adelaide

This compact grid like city with its Mediterranean climate is known as the ‘20 minute city’, making everything within easy reach! Catch one of the free trams in this relaxed city or hire a bike to explore down by the river. Adelaide has delightful cafes and restaurants and is a wonderful city to shop in.
