Geography of Adelaide

Adelaide is situated between the rugged south coast of Australia and the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges. The fifth largest city of Australia, Adelaide is centrally positioned among the wine regions namely, the Barossa, the Clare and McLaren Vale. This is complimented by breath-taking wilderness and one of the most popular regions is Kangaroo Island. The coastal city of Adelaide is rightly proud of its prosperous heritage.
Once identified as the City of Churches, Adelaide’s isolation, squashed size and exceptional history is now combined with numerous pubs and hip bars tucked away in inner lanes. Based on its amazing weather, ingenious restaurants, and pulsating creative scene, Adelaide is creating a name for itself as a party City and has some of the best nightlife in the country.
Regardless of these big-city tourist fascinations, parklands surround the city and extensive thoroughfares seem pleasingly uncrowded. The countryside is a stone’s throw away and within a short 20 minute drive you’ll be whisked away from the hustle and bustle of the City. Located approximately one-third of the way from Sydney to Perth, this city of 1.2 million people is ideally positioned to avoid the rest of the world
