Whilst you were near Brighton beach if you had gone up to the top of Seaview Downs you would have a great view of Adelaide from the also for free. And the car races are still held each year at Victoria Park in the City called the VAILO Adelaide 500 held now held in November.

    You missed most of the great things about Adelaide. Adelaide Zoo is definitely more than average. A new pair of pandas have arrived and the free range zoo at Monarto is awesome. That is where the lions are now kept. It's a much better environment for large mammals. Adelaide is the food and wine capital of Australia. Also the music festival state. Totally missed that.

      Very good questions Gordon Bennett, there are fly screens on the windows but nothing when you open the door so if your cooking on the cooker you either want the door open or use the extractor if it has one, ours did on the first and not on the second. Gas usage depends on how much you use. They come with a 4kg bottle and that is used for the cooking obviously but also can be used for heating a shower. We didn't use a whole one or anywhere near in a few days. Storage capacity, as for exact numbers I don't know and it van to van dependant but there was a lot of cupboards and we had them organised without issue

We have the best wineries and craft beer breweries and a thriving arts scene.

Other cities have their strengths and weaknesses , some strengths better than Canberra , but if you optimize, and anslyze it as i wanted to do Canberra works best on all fronts.

    Why does someone travel to the other side of the world and go to a zoo? Zoos exist to showcase animals from all over the world, just go to one in the UK. If you want to see native Australian animals, go for a hike. Doesn't make any sense. Waste of money, waste of time, missed opportunity.

    • @Rkbackpacking
      @Rkbackpacking 8 днів тому

      Thanks for the comment - someone actually recommended Adelaide zoo to us. But, "animals from all over the world" isn't quite true. No English zoo, to our knowledge, has Kangaroos, Wallabies, Koalas, Echidnas, Cassowarys etc. And whilst we have been on many hikes to see these animals in the wild, it is also nice to spend half a day at the zoo, on someone's recommendation.

    • @bibleboy6611
      @bibleboy6611 8 днів тому

      @Rkbackpacking There's no way in the world I would go to a zoo in the US to see bears or a zoo in Europe to see wolves. And you're right, we don't have them at Adelaide zoo, but generally that's what zoos are for. If you want to see native animals, just go find them. There are several small national parks near Adelaide, maybe 15 minute drive, where you will see a lot of native Australian animals. I walk in them often and always see kangaroos, occasionally koalas, saw an echidna the other day, native birds, snakes, lizards. Plus you get to see Australia.

    Expect to wait 15-30 minutes for a filthy bus - incubators for the next pandemic. The centre of Adelaide is full of empty shops and office buildings for lease. It used to be a charming city before Tim Marcus Clarke bankrupted the State Bank in the early 90s making way for unscrupulous developers to ruin the city with ticky-tacky boxes in black or grey. Every festival is cordoned off with black plastic covered wire fences which are not free, thus excluding people. The Central Market used to be a gereat place for fresh fruit and vegetables as well as exotic foods but the stalls are being taken over by overpriced little restaurants. It might be quaint and charming to people who don't live here but it's tiresome seeing the results of blatant corruption. How else could Deloittes' black blight next to Parliament House be permitted?

Yes we know 2 days is not enough but we got a glimpse, and a good one too so we will definitely return to explore more places that have since been told to us.

Not enough social housing supply and too easy immigration policies. Tourists are more than welcome. No longer the 20 minute city especially in peak hour unless living only 5 to 8 kms from the CBD.

      @ I gave you a thumbs up, but you have a lot to learn if you want to be successful UA-camrs! You bearly portrayed Victor Harbour in the light you should of, my sister lives on Hindmarsh Island, the other side of Goolwa, the river mouth to the Coorong and the whole basin of the Murray and S.A, your small film was almost an insult and your lucky to get a thumbs up from me.... Be careful if you should visit again, and remember, your going to need at least 2 weeks! I could go on and on for what you can see around Adelaide and these minute long UA-cam video are very nearly OFFENSIVE...! Be careful 😡

    Living in Adelaide is great but please don’t tell anyone ,we don’t need more people here we already have too many so please keep it to yourself . The last 4 years too many people have moved in and i for one wish they would go to Melbourne or Sydney, it used to be the 20 minute city meaning you could get to where ever you wanted in 20 minutes or less now it’s become a traffic nightmare , so please stop making these videos people . Enjoy your visit but please keep it to yourselves .

      Tourists are very important to Australia and are welcome to Adelaide. Immigration has been an issue that has caused traffic to increase and housing affordability issues but that’s different. It’s important to understand small businesses benefit from tourism and that includes employment. Don’t knock it. Adelaide is unique and much quieter than the other major cities but times are a changin’ but don’t mix up tourism with immigration.

    • @Telewest792
      @Telewest792 9 днів тому

      @ good points you make but i wasn’t referring to tourism they are always welcome i was referring to the immigration that has taken place since the Covid business and the pressure that it has placed on all of us , the only businesses that do well are the hospitality industries , life used to be very idilic in Adelaide now it has become a constant traffic jam .

    • @LesGray-i9p
      @LesGray-i9p 9 днів тому

      @ Yes I know what you were meaning and agree re your thoughts. Just highlighting to others that tourism matters and that Australians shouldn’t dissuade that and that’s what you’ve stated. More businesses benefit than just hospitality. Accommodation, tours, small businesses in tourist areas or just where they go. It adds $100M’s to the economy (maybe billions?) and keeps more employed and that’s crucial at a time when many need the work to survive or pay bills/maintain a certain standard of living with costs rising so quickly.

    If you like wine take a drive to McLaren Vale wine region so many wineries to see here, craft beers here too. Shifty lizard and Penny Red are cool and there's lots more too. Willunga good to check, Port Willunga has great beach and the Star of Greece restaurant or head to the Victory Hotel for a great view good food and if you're wine fan go check the cellar, love a beer the front bar view of the sea great too.

    Adelaide is the most amazing city in all of Australia, and the whole world. What makes Adelaide, South Australia, amazing is that very few people know about it. It has a population of just 1.5 Million with the land print of New York City. Most houses are single story with a huge front and back yard. It is big enough to have all the offerings of a big city, but small enough to be able to drive to any event and park within a block of the venue. It is an International city catering for all global languages, cultures and religions. Their educational system is next to none with an abundance of Universities to choose from (Public and Private). Their health care system is affordable to all (with a private health care system to top up with, if you want) that caters for cheap medication and hospitalisation. Child birth is care is free. 10 minutes to the East of the City is a complex hill system taking you to many different farming and wine towns (you forget your only a few minutes away from a metropolis). And 15 minutes to the West of the City you have amazing beaches to drive to, from commercial to isolated. The climate is dry and their water is purified. The city is embedded in a jungle of trees, some refer to Adelaide as the 'City in a Park'
