"Around Adelaide" a Adelaide Travel Page by arianne_1504

Adelaide generally gets a bad wrap from the rest of Australia. South Australia is considered home of the bogan, even more boring than Perth and most people generally can't think of any reason at all as to why you would want to go there unless it's to visit relatives.

But I have to say I really enjoyed Adelaide. There was plenty to do even though the weather wasn't fantastic. I travelled with a friend who has a 5 year old daughter so the majority of the trip was about keeping her occupied. As a consequence, I didn't get to go out trawling the malls much, soak up the wines or dine out, but the things we did were quite interesting for all.

Check out this website before you go http://www.southaustralia.com/Adelaide.aspx, I found it extremely helpful in planning kid-proof activities.

For those of you uninitiated, the term bogan (pronounced /ˈboʊgən/, rhyming with slogan) is Australian and New Zealand English slang, usually pejorative, for a person who is, or is perceived to be, of a lower-class background. According to the stereotype, the speech and mannerisms of "bogans" indicate, poor education, cheap clothing (singlet, jeans and no shoes are the sterotypical bogan outfit) and uncultured upbringing. 'bogans' usually reside in economically disadvantaged suburbs (often outer metropolitan) or rural areas[1].
