Adelaide is the capital of South Australia and gateway to the great Outback, Alice Springs and Ayres Rock. It is spread out on either side of the Torrens River, between Gulf St Vincent on the west and the Mount Lofty Ranges to the east. With the relaxed and friendly atmosphere of a country town, its streets are laid out in a series of easy to follow grids.

Adelaide has a lovely peaceful grace and elegance, as well as an urbane refinement that gives it a distinctly Mediterranean feel. The climate is mild and locals and visitors alike are attracted to Adelaide's broad, open streets and leafy parks for leisurely walks, picnics and al fresco dining.
