      @baabaabaa-El Yehnah. When they land at Adelaide airport the pirate says "local LL south Australia time is 30minutes and 25years behind eastern standard daylight time." Besides, Gongs got me so argument won. (by me of course because I always win. Especially against a foreign country like South Australia. They aren't Australian down there, not up to our standards to be officially recognised as a state of Europe in Australia overseas tonight.
      Makes as much sense as trying to say anything decent about Adelaide.

    Adelaide is a beautiful city. I've lived in quite a few cities around Australia and the world, and Adelaide is home. Waterfalls and beautiful hills half an hour from the city in one direction, vineyards in another direction, beautiful coast in another. And the city centre has arts and culture and beautiful buildings, a river and zoo and more. It's so lovely, plus peaceful.

  • @adde65
    @adde65 หลายเดือนก่อน +9

    Came here in the 90s from Sweden via LA, and it has always felt like home to me as far as Australian places go. The city has progressed in some ways, which is good. However, council regulations and cliquey/competitive business attitudes have made it harder for interesting and unique ventures to emerge, particularly in the arts. E.g. the wonderful Fringe festival has become a big financial asset, so the arts component is very safe and mainstream. Stll, if you stay around through Feb/March you'll see a side of Adelaide during festival season that many people fall in love with.

    i have lived here In Adelaide now for 15 years.
    Originally moved from a party city in Northern Queensland. Adelaide is the completely opposite end of the weather and vibe spectrum from where I came from.
    I literally had to start again here, new friends, new houses and posessions, new style and worklife. everything. I got out there and saw absolutely everything that Adelaide has to offer, so I feel I am perfectly qualified to explain what Adelaide is like to the new/first time visitor.
    Upon first glance it can seem dull and boring but truthfully, Adelaide is one of those cities that you really get out what you put in.
    It's a hidden gem in every sense of the word, Much like Perth. The bigger cities like Brisbane, Sydney & Melbourne dont pay it any mind almost like Adelaide is a quiet, Polite neighbour whom keeps to themselves.......but that doesnt mean that quiet neighbour has nothing going on in their life. Oh No.
    The most important point i can make is this: If you explore and bother to leave your local area, there is ALWAYS something to do & something happening every season & every month of the year.
    Theres always some festival on, at any time year round. Adelaide is defintely known for it.
    Theres some world leading events in motoracing, cycling, tennis, Aussie Rules Football, Test Cricket, Wine & food festivals & lets not forget the world famous Fringe Comedy & Arts Festival which runs at the end of Australian summer.
    Its a bit of a mixed bag really, so where to start.
    Firstly the CBD. You should know that its massive for international uni students so the cbd is thriving & generally a point of pride, that it is a sought after study location. Its clean, neat & laid out in a grid which is super easy to navigate and features 4 major Parks areas built into the grid of the city. Surrounding Victoria square in the dead center. All beautiful and great places to eat lunch or meet up.
    Also in the CBD, Theres a myriad of hidden little city arcades pop ups alleyway bars and cafes, amazing food everywhere also.
    The great thing about the location of the city relevant to the rest of the Metro area is this: Any direction you go from the city center, youre in a completely different landscape and vibe.
    Basically 25 minutes in every direction and you've found a new landscape & vibe.
    Head West from the simply laid out easily navigated city and youve got 6-10 world class picturesque beaches with clear blue water, 25/30 mins from the city to the East and you're in the beautiful Adelaide hills with so many hip and quiet little forrest towns. Each with their own arts and food festivals.
    The Adelaide Hills is also where the Santos TOur down under cycling race takes place aswell as bay to birdwood car rally/cruise.
    25/35minutes North of the city and you're in the famous Barossa Valley wine region, 25mins further north frm there you're in the Clare Valley wine region. 25/35 minutes South of the city minutes south on the freeways and you're in the Mclaren Vale wine region.
    Each of the 3 major wine regions have their own look and flavour/ vibe but each also offer world class wine and cellar door experiences. Theres gin and whiskey distilleries & beer micro breweries thrown into the mix and are emerging as amazing offers and experiences also.
    Adelaide is Sports mad so sports lovers wont miss out either.
    Theres A league Football/Soccer. Aussie Rules Football, Super Netball, beach volleyball, International Test Cricket, internation cycling Events, Motor racing and motorsports festivals, public & private golf clubs, Rugby Union & more.
    The nightlife in the city is no slouch either. hundreds of pubs and clubs of all flavours. Bars & beer gardens for young & old alike & hundreds of live music venues.
    Rundle Street, Hindley Street, The bay area are best for clubbing.
    Hetting around: Adelaide has world class tertiary education to all, world leading research and study, amazing sporting events, world famous wine and wineries that are highly attractive for all visitors and students so theres no shortage of Trams, Buses, Trains, E-Bikes & taxis. Thers a standout free tram service that does the city loop and does City to the Bay on the weekends when theres a major Sporting event on at Adelaide Oval, Transport is often free for ticket holders.
    Theres plenty of other free services, time saving freeways that use the NOrth/South road corridors so travel is usually quick and direct and there is ZERO tollways anywhere on the roads.
    Must See & Experience: - The meat & heart of the CBD is in the Adelaide central markets, King William St, South Terrace Parklands & Eastern Terrace Parklands & botanical gardens.
    The Barossa wine region is a must vistit if only planning to come once & do the big attractions. The beaches come into their element during the summer months and multi cultural outer metro suburbs like Prospect, Norwood to the east, Unley to the south of the city, Tea Tree Gully Area to the North East and Port Adelaide offer great days out & fantastic food and beer gardens.
    Must experience: Major sports events are held at Adelaide Oval with 60,000 Seat(BBL Cricket at night or a live AFL Match are the go to's} Dont forget to experience heading into the city to grand central station & cross the footbridge over the river torrens to the Oval, Check out the Adelaide 500 V8 supercars city circuit and month long motorsport festival which from memory is november, explore Port Adelaide which was rundown and blue collar but is slowly being revitalised.
    Also dont miss: - Adelaide museums, Adelaide Zoo, Monarto Open Plains Zoo, Hanhdorf German town in the Adelaide Hills, Tanunda & the surrounding area in the Barossa, Prospect for amazing food from all cultures, Shopping at Westfield Marion or Rundle Mall in the city, live gigs in the city, The Fringe Festival, SANTOS Tour Down Under Cycling, Glenelg, Grange, Henley & Brighton Beaches are prolly the best of the bunch & are a sight to behold during a summer sunset. Although dont let that deter you from some of the quieter ones like Largs, Semaphore, West Beach Aswell as Moana,Seaford & Christies in the southern suburbs and trust me....go get hot chips in Port Norlunga. Trust me.
    For the pavement pounders whom like to walk around and get a sense of the architecture & environment: -
    Walk around Adelaide Central Markets in the city, take a stroll around the botanic gardens, walk down North Terrace in the city, this will give a greater sense of the Adelaide style and architecture. If you wanna venture into the suburbs and find great spots to eat, i usually recommend anywhere in the east/north eastern suburbs in and around Norwood and The Parade, its mostly beautifuly tree lined avenues and cafe's
    all around Norwood, Burnside, Linden Park, Kensington, Magill, Tranmere & St Peters. All great pedestrian areas for mulling around and people watching. Dont skip the views of North Adelaides Cathedrals and great dining along O'Connel Street.
    Rundle & Hutt st are my picks of all day dining in the city for every occasion day or night.
    Also, Adelaide truly doesnt LOOk like any other city around the world I've been to either & Ive seen alot as I used to be military and deployed ALOT & often so got alot of free travel.
    Adelaide takes alot of inspiration from Melbourne & I often say Melbourne is a bigger version. It's similar mix of modern and Victorian architecture, beautifully Jacaranda lined Avenues, the ding of trams bells, the sound of fresh coffee in cafes. all set on the river torrrens, squeezed between the hills and the ocean, Adelaide is truly unique.
    Glenelg truly is one of the coolest and most unique looking beach areas anywhere in the world, dont miss mosely square.
    Dont be afraid to venture out of the city grid into the surrounding Metro Suburbs.
    Again, the more you explore the more you will get out of adelaide. If you just walk around the areas of the city where students are, you will get the impression that nothing goes on but once you lift the veil and look, its a seriously underrated and bustling city. Its just the right size and population to still be unique & trendy but not a packed, crowded traffic filled metropolis. 1.5million people but stil feels quaint & unintimidating.
    As I said, one of the greatest features of the city of Adelaide is the position relative to the metro and outer metro area, this means literally any direction you go in from the city will offer a new and vastly different style, view, vibe and experience.
    Probably avoid the outer northern suburbs like Munno Para, Smithfield, Davoren Park/ literally nothing there to see. Its just ghetto suburban areas but no tourist attractions. Salisbury is a vibe and the people are friendly and chatty but it IS a lower socio-economic area with very little reason 'visit' but are a.......more truthful indication of your 'typical adelaidian' and general where ther reputation of 'Adelaide's a shithole' comes from. Trackies, mullets, missing teeth, shitbag kids that try to fight people, public diomestic disputes etc.
    If you visit the outer northern suburbs or outer Southern Suburbs and walk around the mini shopping malls etc you'll go.....'aaaaaaah....i get it now'.
    If you want to know what it is the locals do once theyve done all the touristy stuff......hire a 4x4 or camper and go camping. head to the copper coast, eyre pennisula or Out to the riverlands to camp along the Murray River. Hit up the big 4 western beaches of a summer afternoon, got to a sporting event at the oval or go see a live gig in a venue in the city.
    Enjoy and sorry for the Long Post.

    Great video. As a kiwi from a small south island town it's interesting to see the difference between the old and new there. As for places being boaring and there's nothing to do. It all depends on what your into. Personally I find that art galleries, librarys and museums are a good place to start. That market looks fantastic so much bigger than the riverside market in Christchurch

    The trams that go around on in the city are free across the river. You have North Adelaide with some amazing streets and architecture and golf courses and cafes and bars and along the river. Both directions, beautiful walks including the zoo, the Botanical gardens and then along East terrace. Some beautiful walks and lakes and then on South terrace again big open Parklands and Japanese gardens and lots of them and nooks and crannies. There's a free bus that goes around the city as well. The 99 c99 bill something like that cuz around both cities crosses the river Adelaide's pretty cool. I've lived there 16 years

    Those birds with the penguin faces are Plovers. Very territorial and fiesty birds. They lay their eggs on the ground on rocks perfectly camoflaged. And guard them intently. The noisy colourful birds are Rainbow Lorikeets. They give the Sulphur Crested Cockatoos a run for their money in a noisy competition. I didnt see any Adelaide Rosellas the man was taliking about. They are the most loved birds here. Green back with beautiful red blue bodies. Day to day living with your family in Adelaide is unbeatable. Any dig at Adelaide by a Victorian will just get a smile in response.

    Adelaide is a pretty city, lots of parklands, best wineries in the country are on your doorstep, lovely beaches, pretty good weather.
    Assuming you're driving, it's easy to get around. The public transport is okay, but not a patch on Melbourne.
    If you're looking for vibrancy and fun then it's basically only found in the city on a Fri/Sat, and in some of the suburbs on a Thurs & Sun, but it is far less exciting than Melbourne or Sydney, but that's okay, it's an easy and peaceful easy going place.

    Well, dunno if it is still, but we have an interesting history.
    Some of it will elate you some will make you cry.
    You'll meet some of the most interesting peyote in the world if they open up.
    A very diverse place. Full of people that generally give you the time of day, and help you when in need.

    As a lifetime resident (62 yrs) you have barely scratched the surface of the city. There is a lot more to Adelaide than you showed in the video. Adelaide is considered by the Eastern states more like a country town than city, probably because it is smaller and more laidback. But we have everything all the other capital cities have, plus lots of green areas, parks, cafes, and pubs. (Did you notice how many cafes, pubs and food places you walked past ?) Adelaide used to be called the city of churches, but now a days it's more the city of cafes.
    Many of the best parts of Adelaide are outside of the CBD. Beaches, Adelaide Hills (parks, camping, waterfalls, walking/hiking trails), some smaller wine areas.
    BTW the pedestrian part of Rundle Street is actually called Rundle Mall, the main retail shopping area.
