The word Mall comes from "The Mall" at Buckingham Palace and Pall Mall so it's very British. The Americans say Mall meaning a Shopping Mall whereas Aussies usually call that a Shopping Centre. In Australia a Mall generally means a street with no cars primarily a place for walking and window shopping.
@@zalired8925 Ha, well you keep well away. I am one that lives here and has for 63 years and wouldn't want to live in Melbourne, Sydney or Brisbane. Perhaps Perth and I like Tassie. Who cares about the mindset of Aussies. It's not like the rest of Australia doesn't have colonial buildings too. Ridiculous comment.
I only came across this now but I'm so astonished by your comment that I couldn't go past it. What colonial mindset? What did you find so miserable? In short, wtf?
Very much a British settlement no escaping the past but proud of its past and future and what it represents. Most other states were just chucked together with convicts.
54 years here in Adelaide and i still love it, am so proud of where i live. Next time make your way out to the southern suburbs, Port Noarlunga and Christies Beach in particular. X
There is so much going on in Adelaide, and surrounds. It can be quiet if you want it or you can go out and about nightly to different venues". Adelaide is by far the best city in Australia and one of the best in the world. I’ve been to 40 different countries always loved coming back Adelaide. I hope we never become a republic I can’t think of one republic in the world I would want to be like. We know we are better off as we are. God forbid that we should turn into the US of A, we don’t have high streets. There are heaps of restaurants You obviously didn’t go the whole length of the mall. Lots of little cafes and restaurants.
Glad you still love Adelaide. There are so many little cafes in the arcades and laneways off Rundle Mall. The continuation of Rundle Mall is Rundle Street and that is restaurant central.
An interesting fact many may not be aware of is that when Colonel Light laid out the city he kept defence in mind, The parklands around the city were one cannon shot wide, the four Squares (Light, Whitmore, Hurtle and Hindmarsh are one Cannon shot from the parklands, and Victoria Square is one cannon shot away from the other squares.
We did a road trip to Adelaide from Melbourne just after you left. Stayed for a week in Hahndorf, now travelling home along the coast. We love the city… it has so much charm and character, and so easy to get around. Could easily live there, but my life and family is Melbourne.
So glad you love my home city of Adelaide…I’ve stayed at the oval hotel…it’s really lovely and you have breakfast overlooking the oval…really special. Next time, maybe go up into the hills if you’ve not been there before. You can go to Mt Lofty Botanical Gardens, Cleland and Hahndorf…which is really busy, packed with tourists on the weekend. You can go strawberry picking at Beerenberg at Hahndorf. There are loads of wineries too. It’s about 20 minutes from the city to the beach and 20 minutes from the city to Hahndorf but to go north or south is longer. Thanks for posting this. 😊
I don't live in Adelaide but like it very much. Lost count how many times I've been there. Melbourne and Sydney are just too busy to spread and too expensive.
The smell of Central Market is unforgettable, so many fragrances!! 👍 Sorry about the flies, recent Northerly winds have brought all the bushflies to town and they're the most annoying of all.
Charlie and Rob. A beautiful vid, ta. I’ve never been to Adelaide, my daughter lived there for a year, said, similar to you, it’s absolutely beautiful, not too fast, not too slow. ‘who’d da ‘thunked’ lol, after watching that very first vid of AFL in the UK, you’d both be back a 2nd time to visit. I loved the fly brushing u did Rob 😂, some of us called it “the great Australian wave” as it looks like u r waving at someone lol. Next time, s small amount of insect repellent on your forehead. Or better still, one of those brimmed hats with corks hanging from it to keep flies off your face lol. Hope you got some great shopping done Charlie and your fav chocolates to take home😊
Charlie and Rob, my top tip for visiting Adelaide would be to go on the dolphin cruise, early mornings. You can choose the boat ticket, or the swim ticket. I think you get the best views on the boat ticket. The company is called Temptation Sailing, the catamaran leaves from Glenelg, marine biologists guide you on the three hour cruise. (Doesn’t run during winter, book first.).
some years ago a plane landed at adelaide , it was about 41c temp. an english lady walked out of the plane , she exclaimed. "surely people cant live in this". ha ha, they do.
There are hundreds of restaurants in Adelaide, just venture into adjoining streets! Gelaterias, ristorantes, pizzerias, etc. I’ve eaten at many of them during my GP trips in the past, before they moved it to Melbourne. Adelaide is a mini version of Sydney.
Came out to Australia from London UK in 1972, a young man of 21. Spent two years travelling around Australia, whent to every state and capital city in the country. Finished up settling in Adelaide, a great lifestyle, great beaches, a city that is easy to get around. Great weather, very mild winters. It's just a great place to live , and of course some of the best wineries in the world .
The reason Adelaide is called the city of churches is not because of the number of church buildings. It's because the founders wanted to encourage religious freedom, meaning that all faiths were accepted
That building you are referring to is not on top of the older building. That yellow modern building is behind the colonial structure and not on top of it. However, yes they did add a modern section on to it but rather beside it and not on top of it.
The 20 minute rule tends to apply to East to West traffic.If you go North or South to the outer suburbs, it will take you probably more like 45 Minutes, but heavy peak hour traffic can increase that slightly. Adelaide is often thought of a very large country town because of its accessibility and easy travel time for a lot of the City.
Awesome video guys glad you enjoyed visiting Adelaide my home. You timed it well with the weather. I have to agree flies seem to have been out in abundance since it is spring. Good to see the streets filling up again since covid. There used to be a Red Cross op-shop in rundle street.
When Adelaide got the "20 Minute City" reputation it was completely accurate, but in the last few decades with increased population and expansion of the suburbs, the time has slipped a bit it is probably more accurate to say it is the 30 - 40 minute city now.
You're joking aren't you? As Australia lifts Adelaide and South Australia falls further behind. Does anyone from there actually have a life and look outside of SA to see how the real world works? Seems to slip further behind with every visit. But at least you weren't settled by convicts, it was only South Australia's founders who were criminals and convicted of the largest fraud in the British empire at the time. Not taught that in your history are you.
@@richardearl9711 Nope, you didn't bite back hard enough. Truth is I would move back to Adelaide straight away if I had the chance. South Australians are just so good to shit stir because their bite back is so fierce, usually, because it's such a crap city and you know it. You name your footy team after a vermin pest, a bloody crow. Just had to cast out another baited line because I can.
@@zalired8925 I wouldn't want to live anywhere else. Adelaide is beautiful, peaceful and friendly. Been to other states and COULDN'T WAIT to get back. Just as Rob and Charlie do, I adore this gorgeous city! 🥰💯❤
@@sweetypie9711 yehnahnahyeh. It is a nice city but when you compare it to other cities I've lived in then it's a nice place to visit. Would live there again but.
I first heard of the phrase "20 minute city" back in the 80's and it was pretty much true you could travel to most suburbs in twenty minutes then except for the rush hours. You certainly can't say that today.
The Aussie flies prefer pale white meat. After you live in a country like Australia, which in summer is only 3 kilometres from the surface of the sun, your tender skin becomes tanned hide. Too tough for the flies to chew through.
so glad you have come back to adelaide. no meet and greet then?? hope you had a great time. the 20 minute rule was that the city is one mile square and you can walk a mile in 20 minutes !! keep us informed of your adventures!!
Moved back to Adelaide 15 years ago. Best thing I did. One problem with the Adelaide market is that it is becoming one big eating hall. Less and less stalls for buying fresh produce and more cafes. Not good.
The shopping centre, such as the Myer centre, city cross and others are where you'll find a lot of restaurants. Also, if you carry on further down rundle mall, you'll reach rundle street. And that is absolutely full of restaurants and places to eat.
I used to run regular day tours from Adelaide..before I moved to Thailand..I may return to do it again...In one day, we visited Mt Lofty, i spectacular hills drive, Hahndorf for 75 minutes, Victor Harbor for lunch , a walk up the Bluff, A winery stop in McLaren Vale and sunset or summer evening at Maslins Beach viewpoint (Spectacular), variety not possible in many other cities in the world...
If you ever make it back to Adelaide, I highly recommend going to an SANFL match. I'd be very interested to know how you compare the experience to AFL.
May sound odd, but Adelaide is a kind of mini version of Los Angeles. Flat plane suburbs but with out freeways, the foot hills to the east, the linear beaches on the west side, although no Mexican culture. City evolved from farm lands, grapes, fruit orchards and more. Plan is guided. Mediterranean climate. The tram from Glenelg typifies and exemplifies that red car romance of LA’s past. I could go on with this. I’m proud to say I was born here 😊
So interesting you make this comparison. I'm not a big fan of LA, mainly because of the celebrity/hollywood culture, but in terms of it's urban plan and civil construction, when I'm there it does remind me of home here in Adelaide. You've explained why, thanks 🙂
I really wish you had continued your walk from Rundle Mall toward the west end and the bars in Peel Street. So many and varied venues with great food and drinks. They usually open at 1600 and go throughout the night.
You have to go to Darwin and travel by car to Alice Springs. I'll be as close to original Australian that you can get. Yes down there is Aussie but you haven't experienced Australia until you have sonw that.
Looks like the flies are attracted to your scent Rob lol. Charlie's laughing in the background like you did when the magpie attacked her.😆 A shopping centre in Australia is a big indoor one stop shop with supermarkets, cafes , restaurants, medical centres and all the departments stores And independent shops. Americans call shopping centres "malls". We call the open plaza like shopping precincts - a Mall. Brisbane has Queen Street mall, Sydney has Pitt Street mall and so on. And with some of these mall's there are arcades and mini shopping centres on the sides if you look carefully. And you'll find restaurants and cafes in some of them. While online has grown a lot in Australia especially during covid, I guess we do still like to shop at the shops. We're an outdoorsy society, we like to get out and about. We don't like being inside all the time. I've heard that market is really good! Nice vlog guys. Keep 'em coming!
@@CharlieandRob Fair enough lol. There's a big shopping centre on the sunshine coast called Sunshine Plaza, as a lot of it is open air and around water!
a mall in australia is a former street where you have shops either side and have eateries a cafes theres one in brisbane called the queen street mall i dont know if you seen that one and there's one in sydney called the pitt street mall
I've never been to Adelaide but the more I see the more I want to visit, the market is very famous I think I would spend a heap of money there. Malls in Australia seem to be a shopping street where cars are not allowed here In Sydney we have Pitt Street Mall in Melbourne they have Burke St Mall. I worked on George St in Sydney's CBD for about 10 years and the rents were crazy high resulting in a high turnover of businesses they were working all week just to pay the rent and wages most new shops were lucky to last 6 months Great video guys you should work for the Australian tourism industry
@CharlieandRob I can just see you cooking sausages on a BBQ saying I'll slip an extra banger on the Barbie for you and Charlie running along a beach and getting swooped by a Magpie shouting where the bloody hell are you? I hope you know the ads I'm referring to with Paul Hogan and Lara Bingle 😅🤣😂
Interesting fact. King William Street runs through Adelaide from north to south for several kilometres. Intersecting streets don't continue with the same name, which can be a bit confusing for visitors. This is because city planners decided that "no-one crosses the King" !
no, Amazon is big online and most people have switched to online since the covid thing.I rarely go to a supermarket and use Coles and Woolworths for my groceries, every thing else I buy is online . My wife works in a large Shopping Centre and it's always crowded .
The history of the word "mall" has less to do with shopping centres or high streets than is realised. The name mall comes from a 16th Century Italian game that resembled croquet and was played in alleys. The Italian name was pallamaglio ("palla" being ball and "maglic" being mallet). The French adopted the game as "pallamaille" and in 17th Century England it was adopted as pall mall. The alley in which the game was played became known as a mall. The street Pall Mall in London was originally one of the alleys. The Mall in London between Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square is also so named because it was once an alley in which pall mall was played. When interest in the game waned the alleys were refashioned into landscaped and tree-lined places for promenading and socialising. The National Mall in Washington DC is an example of this. By the mid-20th Century the word "mall" began to be applied to other outdoor spaces, including shopping malls or shopping centres. The obvious connection between the original use of the word mall and its more recent use is in the reshaping of public spaces for socialising and recreation - hence most Australian cities and towns that removed cars from their major shopping streets renamed the spaces as malls (e.g. Pitt Street Mall (Sydney), Bourke Street Mall (Melbourne), Rundle (Street) Mall, Adelaide , Queen Street Mall, Brisbane because without cars the spaces were expected to become more social. Its usage in relation to shopping centres in North America still follows this as it speaks to the commercialisation of public social space and shopping as recreation. Australians informally refer to enclosed major shopping centres as "malls" in the same sense as is it used on the US, it is simply not as common to include the word "mall" in the name. But there are exceptions, e.g. Westfield Warringah Mall.
Adelaide was named for the Queen consort at the time. Victoria was the future queen,. There would have been a lot of interest in the British monarchy. After George 111 and his mental health issues, the regency and the short reign of George 4, short reign of William 4/ 4 monarchs within 35 years . Certainly big influencers of the day. queen Adelaide was well loved. We were told in history class that she was instrumental in keeping William in check to get him over the time needed for Victoria to be old enough ( to not need another regency.) If Victoria’s mother had taken over spas reagent she would have been heavily influenced by her Svengali like advisor. Who knows how things had turned out. We, thankfully, will never know.
We are the city of churches but their are more pubs than churches. We use to be able to get anywhere in 20 minutes but our population has grown so travel time has increased. If you live North you don’t tend to go South. You can get to all the places you need to go within 20 minutes.😊
Amazon Sydney & Melbourne have 50 acre robot operated logistics centres plus smaller sites across the cities. Am tends to be a bit pricier than shops. Nearly all my purchases are online e.g. food and o/s from USA, Germany, Croatia, UK recently. Cities used to be a lot smaller with light traffic so speeds were higher. Now even on weekends Melb is a huge traffic jam. High immigration killed it. Country towns are booming as people escape.
Adelaide city is a square mile so u should be able to get anywhere in 20min. As for monarchy the popularity of the monarchy has increased since the last Republic referendum so not likely to change any time soon and I for one am very happy for that.
Rob, you need to find the big Milky Bar Kit Kat block at a supermarket. Would love to see what you think, I have demolished far too many of them recently
Online shopping is alive and well in Australia but we love to get out to the shops as well. The buildings where they keep the facade and build high rise buildings is called facadism. I hate it most of the time.
Just a footnote. I drove from Craigmore to Sellicks Beach one day. It took me an hour and a half. If you’re not familiar with the layout of Adelaide. That’s going from a very North-Eastern suburb, going south until the hills meet the gulf. It’s a good distance. That was before things like the Port expressway etc.
I might only be speaking for myself, but we don't call them "malls" - we call them 'shopping centres'. Mall is an American term. Mate, get some Aerogard; it repels flies. Get the roll on...
@CharlieandRob It's also what you call 'High Street'. A 5 min drive from home will take me to what we call 'the local shopping centre' It's a 2km strip of shops, cafes, restaurants etc. Most large suburbs here would have them. It didn't work? I'm surprised 😮 Maybe Adelaide flies are resistant....either that, or they have a vendetta against you...
Heyy charlie, really nice vlog, I was wondering if I can help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging short out of it and also to make channel grow with some tips. Btw love from India ♥️✨

At least Adelaide is keeping the old buildings where Melbourne tends to let developers demolish and rebuild.
Yeah, they wrecked the top end of Collins St decades ago and are still at.
Adelaide hasn't been a 20 minute city for a while now. But it's not huge, so it depends on where you want to go, and how you choose to get there...

While online has grown a lot in Australia especially during covid, I guess we do still like to shop at the shops. We're an outdoorsy society, we like to get out and about. We don't like being inside all the time.
I've heard that market is really good!
Nice vlog guys. Keep 'em coming!
We call shopping centres that (indoor places with all the shops). But what we went down was a high street 😁
@@CharlieandRob Fair enough lol. There's a big shopping centre on the sunshine coast called Sunshine Plaza, as a lot of it is open air and around water!
a mall in australia is a former street where you have shops either side and have eateries a cafes theres one in brisbane called the queen street mall i dont know if you seen that one and there's one in sydney called the pitt street mall
I've never been to Adelaide but the more I see the more I want to visit, the market is very famous I think I would spend a heap of money there. Malls in Australia seem to be a shopping street where cars are not allowed here In Sydney we have Pitt Street Mall in Melbourne they have Burke St Mall. I worked on George St in Sydney's CBD for about 10 years and the rents were crazy high resulting in a high turnover of businesses they were working all week just to pay the rent and wages most new shops were lucky to last 6 months
Great video guys you should work for the Australian tourism industry
Haha that would be some great sponsorship 😉
@CharlieandRob I can just see you cooking sausages on a BBQ saying I'll slip an extra banger on the Barbie for you and Charlie running along a beach and getting swooped by a Magpie shouting where the bloody hell are you?
I hope you know the ads I'm referring to with Paul Hogan and Lara Bingle 😅🤣😂
Interesting fact. King William Street runs through Adelaide from north to south for several kilometres. Intersecting streets don't continue with the same name, which can be a bit confusing for visitors. This is because city planners decided that "no-one crosses the King" !
Australia refers to a mall as either an undercover shop area or a street closed off to traffic with shops on either side.
At least y'all didn't mention "City of Churches", what they don't tell you is that there is a pub across the road from all those Churches 😀
The best city in Oz
A great tour xxx
no, Amazon is big online and most people have switched to online since the covid thing.I rarely go to a supermarket and use Coles and Woolworths for my groceries, every thing else I buy is online . My wife works in a large Shopping Centre and it's always crowded .
Great Video of our city BTW. 👍
Thanks 😊
The history of the word "mall" has less to do with shopping centres or high streets than is realised. The name mall comes from a 16th Century Italian game that resembled croquet and was played in alleys. The Italian name was pallamaglio ("palla" being ball and "maglic" being mallet). The French adopted the game as "pallamaille" and in 17th Century England it was adopted as pall mall. The alley in which the game was played became known as a mall. The street Pall Mall in London was originally one of the alleys. The Mall in London between Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square is also so named because it was once an alley in which pall mall was played. When interest in the game waned the alleys were refashioned into landscaped and tree-lined places for promenading and socialising. The National Mall in Washington DC is an example of this. By the mid-20th Century the word "mall" began to be applied to other outdoor spaces, including shopping malls or shopping centres. The obvious connection between the original use of the word mall and its more recent use is in the reshaping of public spaces for socialising and recreation - hence most Australian cities and towns that removed cars from their major shopping streets renamed the spaces as malls (e.g. Pitt Street Mall (Sydney), Bourke Street Mall (Melbourne), Rundle (Street) Mall, Adelaide , Queen Street Mall, Brisbane because without cars the spaces were expected to become more social. Its usage in relation to shopping centres in North America still follows this as it speaks to the commercialisation of public social space and shopping as recreation. Australians informally refer to enclosed major shopping centres as "malls" in the same sense as is it used on the US, it is simply not as common to include the word "mall" in the name. But there are exceptions, e.g. Westfield Warringah Mall.
Very interesting! Thank you! 😊
My family refers to the local shopping centre as Feral City.
Adelaide was named for the Queen consort at the time.
Victoria was the future queen,.
There would have been a lot of interest in the British monarchy.
After George 111 and his mental health issues, the regency and the short reign of George 4, short reign of William 4/
4 monarchs within 35 years .
Certainly big influencers of the day.
queen Adelaide was well loved. We were told in history class that she was instrumental in keeping William in check to get him over the time needed for Victoria to be old enough ( to not need another regency.)
If Victoria’s mother had taken over spas reagent she would have been heavily influenced by her Svengali like advisor.
Who knows how things had turned out.
We, thankfully, will never know.
We are the city of churches but their are more pubs than churches. We use to be able to get anywhere in 20 minutes but our population has grown so travel time has increased. If you live North you don’t tend to go South. You can get to all the places you need to go within 20 minutes.😊
Amazon Sydney & Melbourne have 50 acre robot operated logistics centres plus smaller sites across the cities. Am tends to be a bit pricier than shops. Nearly all my purchases are online e.g. food and o/s from USA, Germany, Croatia, UK recently. Cities used to be a lot smaller with light traffic so speeds were higher. Now even on weekends Melb is a huge traffic jam. High immigration killed it. Country towns are booming as people escape.
The flies do recognise a pom when they see one 😂, hahaha, no just kidding, hope you enjoy your stay 👍
Luckily we have not had the same problem in Brisbane 😂
Thought you would like Adelaide
Adelaide city is a square mile so u should be able to get anywhere in 20min. As for monarchy the popularity of the monarchy has increased since the last Republic referendum so not likely to change any time soon and I for one am very happy for that.
shopping mall a large enclosed shopping area from which traffic is excluded thats the difference in comparison to a shopping centre
Interesting as it's just not we are used to 😊
Rob, you need to find the big Milky Bar Kit Kat block at a supermarket. Would love to see what you think, I have demolished far too many of them recently
I did it 2 taste tests ago on my reaction channel 😁
Online shopping is alive and well in Australia but we love to get out to the shops as well. The buildings where they keep the facade and build high rise buildings is called facadism. I hate it most of the time.
4:10 Chaz laughing at your flies issues is karma for your reaction to her vs magpie LOL
Don't be on her side! 🤣
Why would we want to cut ties with the UK? Who would we take the pi55 out of then? 😉
Just a footnote. I drove from Craigmore to Sellicks Beach one day. It took me an hour and a half. If you’re not familiar with the layout of Adelaide. That’s going from a very North-Eastern suburb, going south until the hills meet the gulf. It’s a good distance. That was before things like the Port expressway etc.
Haha
G'day Charlie and robbo. Hope the naughty magpies leave you alone Charlie. Maybe robs turn this time LOL
Haha nah magpie attacks much funnier
The RAH may have cost 2 billion, but with interest on the loan the total cost is 11 billion over 30 years
Miss my home city sometimes 😢
September flies are nothing. March flies are much worse. 😜
Thank god I'm not here in march theb
Adelaide is the only capital city in the world that is completely surrounded by parklands.
Grab some Aeroguard mate. it sprays on a keeps the flies and bugs away, Thank me later
G day from sunny Sevenoaks🌥
if you think the flies are bad now ,wait til summer. ha ha
Luckily only SA has been bad for flies. No problem up here on the sunshine coast
I think the Myer Centre in higher Levels have a few empty shops
Rob, who is your pick for the AFL grand final this weekend?
Annoyingly I can't look past Collingwood
Collingwood! That's it you just lost a viewer...........................just Kidding @@CharlieandRob
8:20 Chaz doing the walk & talk - auditioning to be a tv news reporter or lifestyle show host ;)
Haha that was enjoyable
Visit Haighs chocolates in Adelaide.
We have tried Haighs before and it was really nice 😊
Visit the forests in ( North Queensland ) Trust me! there is nothing comparable 😌
You had a sausage in bread bought from a sausage sizzle
I might only be speaking for myself, but we don't call them "malls" - we call them 'shopping centres'. Mall is an American term. Mate, get some Aerogard; it repels flies. Get the roll on...
Yea but shopping center is an indoor building like how the yanks call them malls. I had stuff on and it did nothing 🤬
@CharlieandRob It's also what you call 'High Street'. A 5 min drive from home will take me to what we call 'the local shopping centre' It's a 2km strip of shops, cafes, restaurants etc. Most large suburbs here would have them. It didn't work? I'm surprised 😮 Maybe Adelaide flies are resistant....either that, or they have a vendetta against you...
Pay back rob with the flies after the magpie swoop last year for poor Charlie
Haha
Amazon deliveries are actually quicker than aust post
Bugger, you never did the Adelaide Oval Bridge Climb.
Roof climb. There is no bridge
Heyy charlie, really nice vlog, I was wondering if I can help you edit your videos and also make highly engaging short out of it and also to make channel grow with some tips. Btw love from India ♥️✨
No thank you
A mall is a shopping centre in Melbourne. Perhaps it's the lack of cars that makes it a mall? To me, "Rundell Mall" shopping strip.
Our high streets used to have cars but a lot are now pedestrian only
its school holidays so probably why its very busy
Oh my, how many times have I heard this already 🤣
@@CharlieandRob actually it wasn’t school holidays.
School doesn’t finish until Friday ;-)
Buy yourself some Aeroguard™ Rob, that's fix them flies!
Haha luckily we have not had the problem anywhere else!
@@CharlieandRob LOL, check your phone!
