Adelaide, the vibrant capital of South Australia is located on the coast and is the capital of the state with 1.35 million residents. The designer William Light wanted the city to be surrounded by parks and city gardens and crossed by a river, the Torrens River. The city thus offers a perfect mix of nature and modernity. Adelaide is quieter and cheaper than Sydney or Melbourne, but it is still a cosmopolitan city that has a lot to offer. We recommend a visit to Kangaroo Island where you can find beautiful beaches, impressive coastal roads, Australian animals in the wild and the centre itself resembles the Outback of Australia.
