Adelaide
Adelaide is one of my favourite cities in Australia, great food, great wine and close to excellent beaches. It is the capital of South Australia and is known as the city of churches for the number of churches in the town.
Adelaide was free settled (unlike the rest of Australia that was settled by convicts) a fact the locals will let you know.
