Things to do in Adelaide before you die

Postby Squawk » Fri Feb 04, 2011 11:24 pm

If there was a 'bucket list' or a '1000 things to do in Adelaide before you die', what would you suggest that some of those things were? Keep increasing the numbers as you post and let's see how many suggestions we get ;)

I'll have a crack to get things started:

1. Have Dinner at Jolley's Boathouse
2. See a show in the Spiegeltent at the Adelaide Fringe Festival
3. Take a tour of Coopers Brewery
4. Ski/Skate Mt Thebarton
5. Jump in the Victoria Square Fountain
6. A game of Friday night footy at the Parade
7. A tour of Adelaide Oval
8. Ride the Tram to the Bay and back
9. Spend Christmas Eve at the Edinburgh Hotel in Mitcham
10. Explore the tunnels under the Medina Treasury

11. - over to the next poster!

So I see the responses to the question have become broader than just Adelaide with suggestions like shark diving in Port Lincoln so here we go
1.fish and chip at the Flying Fish cafe on the sand at Encounter Bay- most scenic cafe in the State
2. A pie at the Old Bakehouse in Stone Hut- iconic bakery
3. Lunch at Skillogallee winery in Clare
4. An afternoon in Adelaide's Botaninc Gardens- beautiful
5. Flog your car up and down Moana Beach like we did in the old days
6. Visit the Adelaide Zoo- it is one of the jewels in Adelaide's crown

Oh I agree totally with the Vilis thing. They are dreadful. But Balfours pies these days are beyond me - I can't eat them at all.
The pasties are ok.

I also would like to see Glenelg win some more League Premierships :)
Not really too fussed who we beat, but winning against Centrals would be satisfying ;)
