  • A young couple take in the delights of Adelaide in South Australia in 1973. Includes footage of the Festival Theatre, East End Markets, the Globe Derby trots and Lidums Art Gallery. The focus is particularly on food and wine and the film shows such establishments as the Old Lion Hotel, Lord Kitchener's Indian Kitchen, Ayers House, The Colonial, Hardy's Tintara Winery and the Inn and Old Mill at Hahndorf.
    Produced by the South Australian Film Corporation, Adelaide, 1973. The Don Burrows Quartet features at the start of the film but most of the music is from the KPM library, composed by Jean Bouchéty.

    My wife and I arrived in Adelaide in 1973 from New Zealand. Compared to NZ, Adelaide was a cosmopolitan revolution with much better food and wine offerings. The Hahndorf Inn was a revolution, and still is. Unfortunately my yellow bell bottom jeans have long since gone.
    The intensity of SANFL astounded us.
    Memories!

    I miss when Australian people embraced their culture 😔 now we have to only embrace other countries cultures only. If we try to be proud of our background and all the hard work we achieved we are labelled arrogant and even racist 😔 we did a fine job and I’m not ashamed to say so. I think South Australia has some gorgeous views and architecture that isn’t found anywhere else. Younger children should be viewing this and this should be shown in the Adelaide airport, along with all the other footage obtained by Adelaideans so that we can showcase what we have come from. I’m amazed when the Duke William and Duchess Catherine visited they only went to Elizabeth when there are many different places to showcase South Australia

      Well said!!!!! Very true, as with an Italian background and born in this very lucky country, I feel for Australians where the 80’s were the way I wanted it to stay, and ‘ an even ‘ amount of cultures were around , but today , even being brought up in Sydney, I’ve left because the segregation of ‘ new ‘cultures have choked suburban areas with an over run influx of far , far to many people and trying to survive in that state, has labelled it only a disgrace and a very very dirty city , it’s not a lady anymore , but a whore , sadly it’s a very poor word to use , but it’s the only graphic way I can describe it.
      That’s why we’ve moved to another state and soooo glade to be here , to beautiful here , they label it boring , so let them !!!!! The best kept secret!!!!!!!
