Adelaide is known as 'the city
of churches' but it could also be called 'the city of restaurants
and cafes' with more seats per head than any Australian city.
Besides modern Australian cuisine; Greek, Italian and other
ethnic communities contribute to the diversity of Adelaide's
food scene. Locally famous pie carts at North Terrace and in
Franklin St have been serving pie floaters (meat pies floating
in a green pea soup) since 1915.
Adelaide has retained much of
its Victorian and Edwardian architecture and is a very pleasant
relaxed city with a large green belt around the city centre.

are easy to use and fun to ride. The bus and train system
is also efficient and friendly. The seaside suburb of Glenelg
is a popular spot only 10 kms from Victoria Square in the
city centre. |

Between Grote and Cougar Streets, Adelaide's Central
Market has a great range of foods, cafes and craft shops
where you can buy that unique gift or souvenir. Next door
is little Chinatown with its many Asian shops and restaurants.
In the beautifully
restored 1920's railway station is Adelaide's Casino with
the usual games, including Aussie two-up, and several
bars.

Hills
From 10 to 40 kms east
of Adelaide, in the South Mount Lofty Ranges, also known as the

scenery and laid back locals. Craft shops and historical sites abound
and there's plenty of local produce to sample from jams and pickles
to gourmet restaurants.
The Mt Lofty summit is
really in Adelaide still and has good views over the city, hills
and out to sea.

early 1800's, Hahndorf has retained its German character with German

Hans Heysen. The Hahndorf Academy on Main Street, has galleries
and artists' studios.
