Adelaide - Adelaide

Adelaide van die rivier Torrens

Adelaide is die hoofstad van Suid-Australië. Dit lê aan die oostelike oewer van Golf St Vincent in die sentrale, suidelike deel van die Australiese vasteland. Adelaide is die vyfde grootste stad van Australië, met 'n bevolking van meer as 1,2 miljoen. Meer as driekwart van die Suid-Australiërs woon in die Adelaide-metropolitaanse gebied.

Adelaide is op 'n vlakte tussen die rol Adelaide Hills en die Golf en word begrens deur baie van Australië se beroemde wynstreke. Die Barossa-vallei en Clare Valley streke lê in die noorde, die McLaren Vale en Langhorne Creek streke in die suide en die koeler klimaat Adelaide Hills streek in die ooste. Vanweë die nuwe wêreldoorsprong as 'n broeikas vir godsdiensvryheid, is die argitektuur in die stad bekend as die Stad van Kerke. Baie van die argitektuur in die middestad word behou vanaf die koloniale era. Die erfenis-argitektuur, wat sterk beïnvloed is deur die heersende style wat destyds in Engeland gewild was, is soortgelyk aan baie Europese stede wat in die 19de eeu gebou is. Die stad is gebou volgens 'n roosterplan, met boomryke stadstrate wat buitengewoon wyd en ruim is vir 'n Australiese metropool en ses stadsplein wat deur parkgrense begrens word.

Die nabyheid aan premie-wyn- en voedselkwekgebiede, sowel as immigrasiegolwe uit Duitsland, Italië, Griekeland, Viëtnam, China en Indië, het 'n unieke multikulturele fynproewerskos en kafee-kultuur in die stad en binne-voorstede geskep. Hierdie kafee-kultuur word ondersteun deur Adelaide se wêreldwye reputasie vir die kunste en veral die kunstefeeste wat in Maart aangebied word, insluitend die Adelaide-fees en die Adelaide Fringe Festival, wat die tweede naas die Edinburgh Fringe Festival is.

Die stad is die tuiste van Adelaide Oval, bekend as een van die toets krieketse mees skilderagtige terrein en was herontwikkel om AFL-sokkerwedstryde gedurende die wintermaande aan te bied. Australiese sokker het 'n lang geskiedenis in Adelaide en AFL-wedstryde word op Adelaide Oval in Noord-Adelaide gespeel. Adelaide en die omliggende wynstreke is ook gasheer vir die Toer ondertoe, wat die grootste fietswedren in die Suidelike Halfrond is en die eerste skof van die UCI WorldTour.

Verstaan

Die Suid-Australië tydsone is 30 minute agter Australiese Oosterse Standaardtyd (AEST) gebruik in Victoria of Nieu-Suid-Wallis. Dit is ook anderhalf uur voor die Australiese Westerse Standaardtyd (AWST), wat in gebruik is Wes-Australië. Suid-Australië hou daglig besparingstyd toe, soortgelyk aan ander suidelike / suidoostelike state, maar anders as Wes-Australië, Queensland, of die Noordelike Gebied.

Adelaide is die droogste hoofstad van Australië, met somers wat warm en droog is, en met winters wat reën en koel is.

In somer, is die gemiddelde maksimum 29 ° C (84 ° F), maar daar is heelwat verskille en Adelaide kan gewoonlik 'n paar dae per jaar verwag as die dagtemperature bo 40 ° C styg. Reënval is lig en kom gereeld voor in die somer. Die gemiddelde in Januarie en Februarie is ongeveer 20 millimeter (0,8 duim), maar heeltemal reënlose maande is geensins ongewoon nie. Vanweë die gereelde warm weer, is feitlik elke openbare gebou, binnenshuise toeristebestemming en die meeste openbare vervoer volledig lugversorg.

In winter van Junie tot Augustus is die gemiddelde maksimum 15–16 ° C (59–61 ° F) en die minimum is gewoonlik ongeveer 8 ° C (46 ° F). Die winter het gereelde reënval, met Junie die natste maand van die jaar, met 'n gemiddelde van ongeveer 80 mm. Ryp kom algemeen voor in die valleie van die Adelaide Hills, maar elders skaars. Adelaide ervaar geen sneeu in die middestad self nie, alhoewel 'n bietjie besprenkeling soms op 'n hoër grond aan die bokant van Mount Lofty en in die Adelaide Hills waargeneem kan word.

Herfs en lente is stadige, geleidelike veranderinge tussen die uiterstes van die somer en die winter. Vanaf middel Februarie tot einde Maart gaan Adelaide in mal Maart feesseisoen van kuns-, musiek- en sportfeeste om gebruik te maak van die matige weer. Die lente is ook 'n goeie tyd om Adelaide te besoek, want blomme blom gewoonlik na die reën van die winter.

Geskiedenis

Inheemse geskiedenis

Die eerste mense wat op die Adelaide-vlaktes gewoon het, was die Kaurna mense, waarvan die gebied uitgebrei het vanaf wat nou is Port Broughton na Adelaide se noorde, suid tot Kaapse Jervis aan die suidpunt van die Fleurieu-skiereiland. Die Kaurna het op die Adelaide-vlakte gewoon in gesinsgroepe wat genoem word yerta, 'n woord wat ook verwys na die gebied wat die familiegroep ondersteun. Elke yerta was die verantwoordelikheid van volwassenes in Kaurna wat die land geërf het en 'n intieme kennis van die hulpbronne en kenmerke daarvan gehad het. Adelaide is ryk Inheemse geskiedenis en lewende kultuur kan ondersoek word by Tandanya, 'n kultuur- en geskiedenissentrum in Aboriginal in Grenfellstraat. Tandanya is gratis om te besoek en toere is beskikbaar teen 'n lae koste.

Europese nedersetting

'N Lugfoto van Victoria Square in die middestad, wat 'n integrale deel was van Adelaide se "roosteruitleg" -plan wat in die vroegste dae van die nedersetting ontwerp is.

Na die kartering van die kuslyn van Suid-Australië in die vroeë 19de eeu deur die Europese ontdekkingsreisigers Matthew Flinders en Nicolas Baudin, is 'n ekspedisie langs die Murray-rivier gehou wat gunstig gerapporteer het op land aan die kus van Golf St. Vincent. Terselfdertyd was Britse hervormers gretig om 'n kolonie te vestig wat gebaseer was op vrye nedersetting eerder as op die vervoer van gevangenes, aangesien al die destydse Australiese kolonies gestig is. In 1834 is die South Australia Company gestig en het die Britse parlement oortuig om 'n wet te aanvaar wat 'n kolonie vir vrye setlaars in Suid-Australië geskep het. In Desember 1836, na 'n reis van tien maande deur 'n vloot skepe van Engeland, het die eerste goewerneur, John Hindmarsh, die skepping van die nuwe provinsie in 'n seremonie in die voorstad Glenelg aan die strand verkondig.

Nadat William Light gewikkel het tussen die koloniste, die eerste landmeter van Adelaide, het hy 'n stadsrooster van breë boulevards ontwerp, omring deur parkvelde, met een sentrale plein (Victoria Square) en vier kleiner vierkante (Hindmarsh, Light, Whitmore en Hurtle) aan die suidelike oewer van die Torrens. Light se oorspronklike ontwerp, met klein veranderinge, bestaan ​​tot vandag toe grotendeels.

Die stad se vroeë bedrywe was gebaseer op mynbou en landbou, met Engeland as die belangrikste uitvoermark. Die betreklik radikale politiek van baie van die vrye setlaars het daartoe gelei dat Adelaide die vroeë progressiewe hervorming was, insluitend die geheime gedrukte stembrief, die eerste jurisdiksie ter wêreld wat vroue in staat gestel het om te stem en hulle vir die parlement te verkies en vroeë vakbondwese en aktivisme.

Post-Federasie

Na die Australiese federasie in 1901, het Suid-Australië begin om na sekondêre vervaardigingsbedrywe oor te gaan, 'n proses wat deur die langtermynregering van die konserwatiewe premier Thomas Playford na die Tweede Wêreldoorlog oorgedra is. Playford het probeer om vervaardigingsondernemings soos General Motors aktief na Suid-Australië te lok deur goedkoop grond en lae belasting aan te bied. Dit, tesame met die toenemende alombekendheid van motorvervoer, het gelei tot die relatiewe lae digtheid van Adelaide, aangesien werkers naby die fabrieke gewoon het waar hulle in die buitenste voorstede gewerk het.

Massamigrasie uit Suid-Europa het die Anglo-Keltiese kultuur van Adelaide getransformeer, met Griekse migrante wat hulle hoofsaaklik in die westelike en innerlike suidelike voorstede gevestig het, en Italiaanse migrante in die oostelike en noord-oostelike voorstede. Hierdie kulturele identiteite bly tot vandag toe, met kontinentale delis en kafees 'n algemene kenmerk van die middestad van Adelaide.

Terwyl die ekonomie van Suid-Australië hoogty vier, verloor sy openbare en kulturele lewe 'n groot deel van die vroeë radikalisme, met blou wette wat vereis dat kroeë en kroeë om sesuur die aand moet sluit, wat die 'sesuur-swell' veroorsaak. Die White Australia-beleid het ook beteken dat inwoners van Adelaide oorweldigend van Europese agtergronde was.

Kosmopolitaanse hoofstad

In die 1960's het 'n dramatiese verandering in die kulturele lewe van Adelaide plaasgevind, met die aanvang van die Adelaide Festival of Arts en Adelaide Fringe Festival, wat die kunstekultuur van Adelaide verander het. Aan die einde van die dekade is die eerste Labour-regering sedert die dertigerjare verkies. Teen 1970 word Don Dunstan premier van Suid-Australië. Dunstan was 'n transformerende figuur en wou Adelaide hervorm in die vorm van 'n moderne kosmopolitaanse hoofstad. Die regering van Dunstan het die sesuur se beurt beëindig, Rundlestraat met die voetganger geskep en Rundle Mall gebou, en die Feessentrum gebou en 'n middelpunt vir kuns in Adelaide geskep. Sy regering het 'n reeks progressiewe hervormings ingestel, waaronder Suid-Australië die eerste jurisdiksie in Australië om homoseksualiteit te wettig. Hierdie keer was daar ook veranderinge in Australië se immigrasiewette, wat meegebring het dat Viëtnamese en Chinese migrante by vroeëre golwe van migrasie aangesluit het en die skepping van gemeenskappe in die noordwestelike en westelike voorstede, asook Gougerstraat se veeltalige Chinatown-distrik langs die Adelaide Central Market.

Nadat hy aan die einde van die 1970's die regering vir 'n termyn aan die konserwatiewes verloor het, het Labour in die 1980's onder John Bannon teruggekeer. Premier Bannon, 'n meer sakevriendelike leier as Dunstan, wou die ontwikkeling van Adelaide se stad dryf, aangesien die bou van Adelaide se hoogste gebou wat tans bekend staan ​​as Westpac House en die ontwikkeling van die Adelaide Convention Center en Adelaide Casino. Slegte banklenings het egter die staatsondersteunde staatsbank van Suid-Australië in die vroeë negentigerjare laat ineenstort, wat 'n groot redding van die regering vereis en die staat diep in die skuld gedompel het.

Herlewing na die Staatsbank

In die negentigerjare onder die Liberale regering onder leiding van premiers Dean Brown, John Olsen en Rob Kerin, het die konserwatiewe regering batesverkope onderneem en die regering se dienste verminder om die staatskuld te verminder. Hierdie vermindering in staatsuitgawes, sowel as die afname in die Australiese vervaardiging na die afskaffing van die tariefmuur deur die federale regering, het gelei tot stadige groei in die Suid-Australiese ekonomie en wydverspreide emigrasie na die oostelike hoofstede, veral Melbourne.

Arbeid het in 2002 teruggekeer na sy amp onder Mike Rann, wat Adelaide se nywerheidsbasis wou hervorm om te fokus op onderwysdienste, mynbou en verdedigingsbedryf, asook om sy sterk punte in wyn te bou. Die regering van Rann het baie belê in die heropbou van die stad, met die opknapping van openbare vervoer, die bou van 'n nuwe sentrale hospitaal en die herontwikkeling van Adelaide Oval. Na tien jaar met premier Rann as leier, verkies Labour in 2011 Jay Weatherill as premier, wat hierdie agenda grotendeels voortgesit het, maar met 'n hernieude fokus op die transformasie van openbare ruimtes in die middestad deur die verslapping van beplanningsbeperkings en verswakte dranklisensies vir klein tralies.

Dienste na Glenelg is bedien elke halfuur, minder snags. Dienste na die Arndale-, West Lakes- en Marion-winkelsentrum is weeksdae per uur.

Busse vertrek vanaf 'n enkele stop links (wes) van die korttermynparkeerterrein buite die hoofterminaal. Alle busse in alle rigtings vertrek vanaf hierdie eenstop, so kyk na die voorkant van die bus om seker te maak dat dit op pad is waarheen u wil gaan! Intydse businligting is beskikbaar vir hierdie stop en alle Adelaide Metro stop of via toegewyde programme vir u slimfoon soos metroMATE.

Die JetBus is deel van die Adelaide Metro netwerk, dus die standaard kaartjies en tariewe in die Publieke vervoer afdeling is van toepassing, en 'n kaartjie wat op die JetBus gebruik word, kan volgens 'n ander bus, trein of tram gebruik word. Metrocards is ook op die lughawe te koop vanaf 'n outomaat langs die JetBus-stop.

Huurmotors is beskikbaar onder in die voorkant van die terminale. 'N Taxi na die stad kos gedurende die oggendpiekuur ongeveer $ 30 en op ander tye ongeveer $ 20, wat dit net so voordelig kan maak as die JetBus vir 'n groep. Bestuurders sal altyd die meter gebruik, maar 'n toeslag van $ 2 is betaalbaar bo en behalwe die opgemerkte bedrag vir die bakkies vanaf die lughawe.

Groot nasionale huurmotormaatskappye gebruik kiosks op die grondvloer naby bagasie-eis, insluitend AVIS, Begroting, Europcar, Hertz, Spaarsaam en Redspot Sixt. Die parkeerterrein is op die grondvlak reg oorkant die terminale.

Met die motor

Adelaide is minstens 'n dag se ry weg van die hoofstede aan die Australiese ooskus. Die kortste ryroete van Adelaide na Melbourne duur 8–9 uur. Daar is 'n paar snelwegafdelings, maar die paaie is meestal tweespoorpaaie van snelweggehalte.

Van Melbourne, Adelaide is 736 km (457 myl) via Horsham (Nasionale snelweg 8) of 901 km (560 myl) via Mount Gambier (Nasionale snelweg 1). Die reis via Mount Gambier lei u deur die Coonawarra wynstreek, een van die bekendste Cabernet Sauvignon-streke in Australië en is ook gerieflik vir 'n sytoer via die Groot Oseaanweg. Die reis via Horsham is meer direk, maar het minder toeriste-aantreklikhede.

Van Sydney, Adelaide is 1 422 km (884 myl) via Wagga Wagga en Mildura (Nasionale snelweg 20). Snelwegtoestande van Sydney na Wagga Wagga verminder ure van die reis. Hierdie roete gaan ook naby Canberra, Die nasionale hoofstad van Australië, wat 1 196 km (743 myl) van Adelaide af is.

'N Ander opsie vanaf Sydney is die 1 659 km (1031 myl) roete via Broken Hill (National Highway 32), wat u deur die Outback en een van Australië se mees historiese myndorpe neem. Die 2 031 km (1 262 myl) roete vanaf Brisbane gaan ook via Broken Hill.

Adelaide is die naaste hoofstad aan Perth, die reis van 2.550 km (1584 myl) oor die Nullarbor is steeds moeilik, maar dit is 'n unieke rit deur sommige van die mees afgeleë plekke in die bewoonde wêreld. Net so reis die 3,027 km (1884 myl) noordwaarts Darwin via Alice Springs reis deur die ware Outback en Uluru is slegs 'n paar uur vanaf die hoofweg noord.

Met die trein

Groot suidelike spoorweg ry langafstand toeristetreindienste na en van Adelaide. Die Ghan hardloop na Alice Springs en Darwin, Die Overland hardloop na Melbourne, en die Indiese Stille Oseaan hardloop na Perth, Broken Hill en Sydney. Hierdie reise is treinervarings en bied slaapplekke en die geleentheid om u motor saam te neem in die trein. Dit neem egter aansienlik langer as 'n vliegtuigrit. Die Ghan en die Indiese Stille Oseaan is gewoonlik ook duurder as wat 'n vliegtuigkaartjie sou wees, maar die Overland is gewoonlik goedkoper - selfs die ekwivalent van 'n Overland-kaartjie van 'n besigheidsklas is vergelykbaar met 'n ekonomiese vlug van Adelaide-Melbourne op 'n volle -diens lugdiens. Die treine hou ook tussentydse haltes op 'n aantal landelike plekke, wat gerieflik kan wees as u kleiner dorpe by u reisplan betrek. Let op dat Great Southern Rail-treine nie wifi het nie.

Hierdie interstate treine vertrek vanaf die 2 Adelaide Parklands Terminal net buite die stad. Vanaf Richmondweg kan jy per motor of bus na die stasie ry. Sedert die sloop van die Keswick-stasie is daar geen aansluiting op die voorstedelike spoornetwerk nie. Daar is ook huurmotors beskikbaar vir alle aankomendes.

Daar is geen landspoorwegdienste in Suid-Australië nie.

Met die bus

Interstate busse word bestuur deur 'n aantal afrigtersondernemings, insluitend Windhond, Vuurvliegie en V / lyn. Die reis vanaf Melbourne duur ongeveer elf en 'n half uur, met dag- en oornagdienste. Die reis vanaf Sydney kan tot 24 uur duur en per definisie oornag reis. Tariewe is minder dan met die trein en die meeste vliegtuigreise, ten minste op die Adelaide-Melbourne-roete, maar as die tydsberekening net reg is, kan 'n goedkoop vlug van Adelaide-Sydney goedkoper as die bus wees.

Streekbusse na stede en dorpe in Suid-Australiese lande word ook bestuur deur die interstate busmaatskappye, maar plaaslike Suid-Australiese busondernemings insluitend SkakelSA en Premier Stateliner lewer dikwels meer gereelde dienste.

Byna alle interstate en streekbusse vertrek vanaf die 3 Adelaide Central Bus Station by Franklinstraat 85 in die stad. Die Sentrale Busstasie is 7 dae per week van 05:00 tot 21:30. Dit het moderne geriewe sowel as 'n kafee en dit is oorkant die straat van die Adelaide Central Market, 'n Coles-supermark en Chinatown.

Dit dek nie die Barossa-vallei nie. Die frekwensies in die buitenste voorstede is baie laer as in die stad.

Die O-Bahn is 'n snelweg vir busverbindings wat na die noordoostelike voorstede van Adelaide loop. O-Bahn-busse ry vanaf Grenfellstraat in die stad, betree die O-Bahn by Hackney en stop by die wisselaar Klemzig, Paradise en Modbury. Nadat hulle op die O-Bahn geëindig het, ry die busse dieselfde as 'n gewone bus om die bestemming te bereik. O-Bahn-dienste kom baie gereeld voor, so dikwels as elke 3 tot 5 minute gedurende spitstyd tot wisselaars en elke 15 minute buite die piek.

Wees gewaarsku dat die busfrekwensie ná 19:00 skerp afneem, met tussenposes per uur in die buitenste voorstede, halfuur langs Go Zones en elke 15 minute op die O-Bahn. Al die dienste word omstreeks middernag beëindig. Gaan dus na u roosters en verwag om 'n taxi te neem indien nodig na hierdie tyd. Baie basies Na middernag busdienste langs beperkte roetes werk uurliks ​​na middernag Slegs op Saterdagaande.

Die gratis City Loop (99C) bus ry elke 15 minute op weeksdae van 07:40 tot 18:00. Op Vrydae loop dit ook snags 6-9: 20 uur elke 30 min., Saterdae 08: 00-17: 00 elke 30 minute en Sondae (en openbare vakansiedae) 10: 00-17: 00 elke 30 min. Dit het kloksgewys en antikloksgewys roetes, elk met ongeveer 30 stopplekke om al die belangrikste kulturele en kommersiële sentrums in die stad in te neem, vanaf Victoria Square en Adelaide-treinstasie ingesluit. Die busse het toegang tot opritte op die grondvlak.

Tram

'N Tram by die Moseley Square-tremterminus in Glenelg

Adelaide het 'n tremlyn wat vanaf die Adelaide-vermaaklikheidsentrum in Hindmarsh langs die North Terrace tot by die Botaniese Tuin loop. 'N Tweede lyn begin vanaf die Royal Adelaide-hospitaal deur die stad, dan af deur die suidwestelike voorstede tot by die strandvoorstad Glenelg. Die treinstasie is 'n maklike stop om tussen die lyne te wissel. Reis in die stad tussen die Adelaide Entertainment Centre, Botanic Garden en South Terrace vry, terwyl u na Glenelg 'n kaartjie of 'n Metrocard benodig. Kaartjies kan op kaartjiesmasjiene op alle trems gekoop word of by sommige haltes.

Die tram is nie net gemaklik vir die gewilde toeristebestemming Glenelg vanaf die stad nie, maar stop ook by Rundle Mall, Victoria Square naby die Adelaide Central Market en by North Terrace naby Adelaide Railway Station. Deur noord met die tram te reis, neem u Hindmarsh en Bowden, die tuiste van die Adelaide Entertainment Centre-lokaal vir stadionkonserte, asook 'n gewilde kafee en restaurantstrook langs Port Road en die systrate langsaan.

As u 'n motor bestuur, is dit 'n gerieflike (en gewilde) alternatief vir parkering in die stad is om by die vermaaklikheidsentrum te parkeer en die trem na die stad te haal. Dit kos net $ 4 vir 'n hele weekdag, wat baie goedkoper is as stadsparkering.

Te voet

Die middestad is relatief kompak en kan maklik te voet bedek word. Die meeste besienswaardighede is gesentreer rondom die blokke tussen North Terrace en Victoria Square aan weerskante van King Williamstraat. Die kernwinkeldistrik Rundle Mall is heeltemal voetganger. Die distrik Gougerstraat en die Adelaide Central Market is ook goeie bestemmings vir 'n wandelende reisiger.

Reisigers wat graag verder wil draf, kan gewilde drafbane langs die Torrensrivier en deur die Parklands gebruik.

Met die taxi

Adelaide Onafhanklike taxi's

Adelaide het drie belangrikste taximaatskappye wat 24/7 werk:

Cabs in Suid-Australië is wit (selfs die wat deur 'Yellow Cabs' bestuur word) en dit is duidelik gemerk. Dit is gewoonlik moontlik om gedurende die kantoorure in die stad 'n taxi in die straat of van 'n groot hotel af te neem, maar in die voorstede moet u gewoonlik een van die gelyste maatskappye bespreek. Daar is 'n aantal taxi-staanplekke wat gedurende die naweek snags deur die Taxi Council beman word. Taxistaanplekke onder toesig bied ekstra veiligheid met ligte en toesig deur 'n portier en 'n veiligheidsbeampte. Hulle werk van 23:00 tot 03:00 op Vrydae en 23:00 tot 17:00 op Saterdae. 'N Kaart van plekke is beskikbaar op hul webwerf.

Volgens die staatsregering moet alle taxi's in Adelaide 'n gereguleerde tarief hef, volgens die tydstip waarop die reis begin. Tarief een is die normale tarief en tarief twee is 'n hoër tarief wat van Maandag tot Vrydag 19:00 tot 06:00 geld, en oor naweke en openbare vakansiedae. Bestuurders gebruik die meter amper altyd en is wettiglik daartoe verplig. Betaling kan met kontant, EFTPOS, debiet- en kredietkaarte en Cabcharage geskied. Dit is 'n goeie idee om die bestuurder te laat weet as u van plan is om met 'n ander metode as kontant te betaal voordat u begin, aangesien die masjiene onbetroubaar kan wees.

Met die motor

Adelaide se middestad en voorstede soos Glenelg, Norwood en Prospect is maklik om te loop en met openbare vervoer te ry. As u egter baie tyd buite die middestad gaan spandeer of 'n reis na 'n wynstreek beplan, is 'n motor nuttig om lang reise met die openbare vervoer of in die geval van die Barossa-vallei te vermy. enigsins.

Anders as ander Australiese staatshoofstede, het Adelaide nie 'n snelwegnetwerk wat direk na die middestad lei nie. Die snelweë wat bestaan, begin in die buitenste voorstede en het die doel om verkeer na die nabygeleë plattelandse dorpe te vervoer. Spoedbeperkings op die meeste hoofweë word aangedui teen 60 km / h, maar die standaard snelheidsbeperking is 50 km / h as geen spoedbeperking gepos word nie. Spoedbeperkings word streng toegepas, en selfs om so effens bokant die spoedgrens te kruip, kan u 'n kaartjie verdien met 'n boete van $ 350.

Al die Adelaide-paaie sowel as dié deurgaans Suid-Australië tolvry is.

Groot nasionale huurmotormaatskappye gebruik kiosks op die Adelaide-lughawe op die grondvloer naby bagasie-eis, insluitend AVIS, Begroting,Alfa, Europcar, Hertz, Spaarsaam en Redspot Sixt.

Koop

Rundle Mall
The nineteenth century interior of the Adelaide Arcade.

Unlike the "big four" Australian cities, top-end luxury brands like Louis Vuitton, Gucci and Prada do not have a presence in Adelaide. The Victorian 1 Adelaide Arcade that runs south from Rundle Mall has a fine collection of boutiques and specialist shopping such as numismatics, antiques and chocolatiers. Another good place to look for semi-luxury items would be Burnside Village in the eastern suburbs.

The BYO culture

While fairly unusual in the rest of the world, it's common for restaurants in Australia and New Zealand to allow patrons to bring bottled wine to dinner. This practice is called 'BYO' - 'bring your own'. Originally resulting from a loophole in liquor licensing laws, BYO is now a great opportunity to enjoy some of the wine which you have bought in a wine region, or to visit a local 'bottle shop' and enjoy a wider selection at lower prices.

Nowhere in Australia is BYO more common than in Adelaide. Most restaurants in Adelaide which serve alcohol will also allow BYO, though it's a good idea to call ahead to make sure. It's common for a charge called 'corkage' to be applied to the bill. Corkage will typically be around $10–$15 per bottle, though higher charges are not unheard of. Corkage is applied even if your wine is under a screwtop rather than a cork, like virtually all recently produced Australian wine.

Adelaide

Central Market in the Adelaide city centre.

The City caters to virtually every different taste and price range. Adelaide has one of the largest number of restaurants and cafes per person in Australia and most of the best are in the City.

  • Gouger Street, Chinatown and the Central Market precinct is a multicultural food and wine paradise.

Other Asian cuisines are also featured including Thai, Vietnamese and Indian. On the northern side of Gouger St, the Adelaide Central Market has a great range of hawker style food stalls as well as a few older European cafes. The last decade has also seen the emergence of high-end dining on Gouger St, with a number of more expensive options joining the long standing and locally famed Argentinian restaurant, Gaucho's.
  • Rundle Street and the East End is the traditional hub of Italian and Greek cuisine in Adelaide, but there are also newer Chinese, Thai and Japanese restaurants.

The East End laneways off of Rundle Street have a range of smaller, quirkier cafes - Ebenezer Place, Bent Street and Union Street all have a few alternative options.

  • The South West Corner of the City's square mile, south of the Gouger Street precinct, is more residential but includes some of Adelaide's most interesting dining experiences sprinkled among the heritage homes and apartments.

North Adelaide

  • An eclectic mix of small restaurants and cafes make Melbourne Street an interesting place to eat.
  • The variety of take-aways, pubs, cafes, bakeries and restaurants that line most of O'Connell Street means you won't be wanting.

  • 14 Regent Thai, 165 O'Connell St, ☏ 61 8 8239 0927. Excellent and consistent standard Thai menu. The friendly proprietor Chang was a refugee from the Khmer Rouge in Cambodia. Try the oysters in coriander sauce, the red curry chicken, or ask for a whole fish steamed with ginger and shallots. Its sister restaurant at Glenelg, Phuket, is worth checking out as well. Mains $13-18..

  • 15 Magill Estate Restaurant, 78 Penfold Rd, ☏ 61 8 8301 5551. Magill. While the food here is good, the real stars are the view and the wine list. This restaurant is owned by Penfolds, probably Australia's best-known premium red wine maker, and overlooks the vineyards on their Magill property, not far from the city centre. The grapes grown on this estate are used to make the Magill Estate label single vineyard Shiraz. The wine list allows you to order back vintages of the Penfolds and other wines going back 20 or more years. 
  • 16 Windy Point Restaurant, Windy Point Lookout, Belair Rd, ☏ 61 8 8278 8255. Windy Point Lookout, Belair Rd. Nice ambiance, excellent service and good food prepared in a unique way with a nice view of the city skyline. For those who wish to have a less formal setting, the adjacent cafe also offers a good selection. Usually only open for dinner from 6PM onwards, though lunches are possible with prior arrangements. 
  • 17 Shiki Restaurant, North Terrace (Intercontinental Hotel Adelaide), ☏ 61 8 8231 2382. Japanese restaurant with a nice atmosphere in one of Adelaide's premier hotels. Mainly known for its teppanyaki but also serves other Japanese dishes like sushi, sashimi and tempura. 

Drink

There are pubs and bars dotted all around the CBD, but a few districts are worth singling out. Rundle Street and its neighbouring area known simply as "The East End" have a number of popular pubs. Hindley St used to be notorious as the seedy home of Adelaide's strip clubs and bikie bars, but it, and "The West End" have undergone a renaissance. The eastern end of Hindley Street is more mainstream, whereas the western end, west of Morphett Street has a few trendier and more alternative venues. The seedy places are still there, but so too is a university campus and a number of trendy bars and clubs. Also important are Gouger Street and its many restaurants but with an increasing number of bars and pubs. O'Connell Street is home to a few of North Adelaide's popular pubs.

There are also many bars in the suburbs of Adelaide which usually are busier on Thursday and Friday evenings. Quite a lot of the locals will go to the hotels in the suburbs on Thursday and Friday evenings, and go into the Adelaide CBD on Saturday evenings.

Smoking in pubs and clubs is banned under South Australian law. Many drinking establishments have outdoor areas where smoking is permitted.

Pubs

Melbourne is not the only Australian city with a buzzing "laneway culture": Adelaide's Exeter Lane, off Rundle Street, at night. On the left is The Exeter Hotel, one of Adelaide's most well known pubs/drinking establishments.

As a rule, pubs seem to be located in hotels.

  • 1 Grandstand, North Terrace (Adelaide Casino, North Ter.), ☏ 61 8 8212 2811. Su-Th 10AM-late, F Sa 11AM-5:30AM. Situated on the 1st floor of Adelaide Casino, Grandstand is Adelaide's premier venue for watching all live sporting events. Featuring several TV screens showing all the action from Fox Sports, Setanta and Main Event, Grandstand also has full Keno and TAB facilities. A bar menu is also available, as are regular great drink promotions. 
  • 2 Crown & Anchor, 196 Grenfell St, ☏ 61 8 8223 3212. M-W 11AM-3AM, Th-Sa 11AM-4AM. Situated just off Rundle St, this Adelaide institution is often referred to as "The Cranker", or less kindly, the "Crowd of Wankers" attracts those of an alternative bent. Goths, metalheads, punks and hippies all mingle in this multi-roomed venue, sipping beer. But don't worry, piercings and tattoos aren't essential to have a good time. Music playing could be just about anything. 
  • 3 Worldsend, 208 Hindley St, ☏ 61 8 8231 9137. M-F 11AM-late, Sa 4PM-late, Su closed. Serves food all day. This lively pub features a beer garden and a solid restaurant. The crowd is generally early to mid 20s, many from the nearby Hindley Street campus of the University of South Australia. While it definitely has a strong pub feel, the music is more like a bar, with live jazz and funk, house and drum'n'bass (rather than rock) the order of the day. 
  • 4 The Exeter, 246 Rundle St, ☏ 61 8 8223 2623. This friendly old-school pub is much frequented by students from nearby Adelaide University and TAFE. At night, it has an alternative feel drawing crowds from all areas. Two back rooms contain a great little restaurant. The curry nights on Wednesday and Thursday are popular. Small music venue, mostly showcasing live alternative bands. M-Su 11AM-late. 
  • 5 The Archer, 60 O'Connell St, ☏ 61 8 8361 9300. Modern, hip feel and a large range of beers on tap. Be aware that it has to close earlier than most places (usually midnight) due to residential noise restrictions. 
  • 6 The Cumberland Arms (The Cumby), 205 Waymouth St, ☏ 61 8 8231 3577. M 9AM-midnight, Tu 9AM-1AM, W-Th 9AM-3AM, F Sa 6PM-4AM, Su 6PM-2AM. In a strip of bars and clubs along the southern end of Light Square adjacent to Hindley St. The Cumberland was bought out and refurbished some years ago. Nowadays it's a cozy spot which does a good job of being all things to all people. The front bar areas conceal a dance floor within, where a DJ is invariably playing house, and an outdoor area around the side. The popularity of "The Cumby" is cyclic, but if it's not happening, one of the adjacent places will be. 
  • 7 The Grace Emily, 232 Waymouth St ((Opposite "The Cumberland)), ☏ 61 8 8231 5500. The Grace has plenty of trinkets behind and around the bar to keep one's eyeballs busy whilst nursing a Coopers or bloody mary. Local, interstate and overseas bands play most nights. Every Monday night Billy Bob's BBQ Jam sees a variety of local bands strut their stuff to impress the crowd with 3 or 4 songs (though perhaps more by popular demand) whilst a sausage sizzle out the beer garden feeds the hordes - a highlight of an otherwise quiet evening in Adelaide. 
  • 8 The Austral, 205 Rundle St. Rundle St. On the main street for shopping and nightlife in Adelaide, which is really the same long street as Hindley St but with a different name either side of King William Road, and the pedestrian only Rundle Mall in the middle. The Austral is the unofficial backpackers pub of choice. 
  • 9 The Original Coopers Alehouse (also known by the original name still on the front facade The Earl of Aberdeen), 316 Pulteney St (10 minute walk from the Rundle St-Pulteney St intersection), ☏ 61 8 8223 6433. The only pub to hold the complete range of Coopers beers on tap, including the Vintage Ale. Also serves good food, including schnitzels and pizzas, in the attached Arnou Woodfired at the Earl restaurant. 
  • 10 The Stag, 299 Rundle St (cnr of Rundle and East Tce). More up market establishment, with good views of the parklands from the al fresco seating, good range of drinks and weekly live music. The second floor balcony literally overlooked the old Formula 1 street circuit and was always crammed with race fans. With the shortened Clipsal 500 course this is no longer possible, but still a good place to go after the days races. 
  • 11 The Union Hotel, 70 Waymouth St Adelaide, ☏ 61 8 8231 2144, ✉. Open most days 11AM-1AM. Good value meals every night including cheap pizza night every Monday. On Friday nights the crazy is dialed up with Generation Pop, a mix of pop music from retro to modern and very popular with the after work crowd (7:30PM-1AM). Saturdays is Get Back, Adelaide's only weekly retro dance club playing music from the 1950s-80s (8PM-1AM). Entry is free to both nights. Crowd is a healthy mix of ages, even after dark.

The Australia-wide emergency number is 000. The ambulance service, fire service and police are available through this number. For non-emergency police assistance, dial 131 444.

Adelaide is considered a safe city, and much more so than other Australian capitals. People should however exercise personal safety, particularly at night.

The city parklands are poorly lit and are best avoided after dark due to the presence of intoxicated people. If you need to cross the parklands to reach the suburbs, stay near the road. Catching a taxi or public transport is recommended at night.

Trains in Adelaide are generally reliable and arrive and depart on schedule. (Buses can be slightly more variable.) There are security guards on all trains after 7PM and many rail services have bus connections available.

At night, police actively patrol the city centre, especially Hindley Street, the latter being where many of the city's nightclubs and bars are. Taxi ranks are near the Adelaide Casino on North Terrace, the Hilton Adelaide Hotel on Victoria Square, and the junction of Rundle Street and Pulteney Street outside the Hungry Jacks fast food outlet. Most regular public transport services end before or at midnight, but special After Midnight bus services operate Saturday night only, travelling from the city to brightly-lit points throughout Adelaide's suburbs.

Stay healthy

Adelaide's remote location in the world's driest continent means that all of its drinking water is sourced from the River Murray or local reservoirs. Although the water is perfectly safe to drink, it does make tap water unpalatable to those not used to it and is best drunk filtered.

There is extensive free Wi-Fi access (port 80 only) in the CBD and the airport provided by Internode.
