| Page Views: 3,471 Last Visit to Adelaide: November, 2003 | My favorite Australian city by dlandt - last update: Apr 12, 2006 |
Where Sydney reminded me of Vancouver and Cairns reminded me of Honolulu, Adelaide didn't remind me of anything. I think that's what I liked about it. It seemed to be a very Australian, down to Earth, working and functioning city. The people were friendly, but not overly so. It was interracial and multicultural, but not in a synthetic, paper-thin way. The attitude of the people seemed to remind me of Chicago, though nothing else did. Adelaide is a place you experience, not tour. On my trip, I passed through Sydney, Cairns, and Yorkey's Knob before arriving in Adelaide, but it was in Adelaide that I really felt I had arrived in Australia. |

Well, I also had the fortune of living in Adelaide for 4 yrs in the early 70's and they may have been some of my happiest! Loved it too in many ways, but felt so far removed! | VdV Sat Apr 26, 2008 04:21 UTC
Thanks for your great Adelaide comments. I fell in love with the place when I visited in 2001. I would compare it to Pasadena in CA (Sydney felt like a big San Diego, Melbourne felt like San Francisco in the core and a bit of LA in the St. Kilda area). | AlessWhite Fri Feb 8, 2008 05:59 UTC
re Hahndorf(near neighbour)...unfortunately,this little town has a Bavarian theme,whereas the early German/Lutheran settlers were from Silesia and Prussia.The bavarian overkill spoils the integrity of the original village. | adelaidean Wed Mar 28, 2007 12:53 UTC
hey thanks....I think that people need to experience my hometown and they will appreciate it as well!!! Come back soon! :-) |
