Adelaide!

Post by FattyLumpkin »

I have a workmate spending 3 days in Adelaide in April. Where do I send him? It has been 25 years since I lived there & only return to visit family, so don't do the touristy stuff. He doesn't drink, so the winery areas are out. I've got the Adelaide Hills & Victor on my shortlist. Maybe stay at the Bay and use the tram as transport + a game at Adelaide Oval if he can. What else is out there?

Thanks

When driving through wind the windows down to enhance the experience but do try to avoid eye contact from the inhabitants.

Can always drop the kids at the playground inside the Playford Tavern too if you want the adults-only experience.

I've done a few runs through there...usually don't get much change out of 1000m of elevation gain. Nasty elevation.
