The best wines in the country come from around Adelaide. And there's lots of Germans.

All they have is serial killers, wine and churches. Not even good wine. Prepare yourself for a shit time, and tell whoever from your work they can get fucked every single morning.

Me and my family are going to travel to Brisbane and Gold Coast for about a week. This probably will be our last family trip because I should find a job soon and my siblings will also be busy

Anything to recommend over there? I was told I should do outdoors activities like going to the beach and etc

>>1211513
Theme parks but other than that I'm not sure what you would do other than the beaches for a week. Pretty cool food places I guess. It's pretty much Australia's version of sin city. I don't know what I would do on a family holiday sorry mate.

okay that actually sounds ominous

You'll be coming right after the Fringe Festival which is a shame. Still, we have everything the other cities have, pubs, clubs, museums, etc. Botanic Gardens is always worth a trip, as well as the Maritime Museum out at Semaphore. If you like beer we have the Belgian Beer Cafe which i'm told is excellent (I don't like beer myself) and the Coopers and West End breweries which i'm sure do tours. Other than that Mt Lofty is a good hike and while you're there you can swing through Hahndorf which also has plenty of excellent food and drinks, and there's the Para Wirra conservation park which I always remember having some great views. Hope this helps!

Why is it that when Germans move to other countries, they suddenly all become Bavarians?

>adelaide

wow, it's fucking nothing

If you've got a car check out the natural parks. Springbrook Mountain has a nice one, and the beaches are obligatory. Other than that, the Coast is good to drink and eat at. Lots of nice places to eat.

As long as Kings Cross is still operating, Sydney will always be Australia's Sin City

>>1210610
There are plenty of nature places you can visit that are only half a days drive away

The Fringe arts festival is on in March, so there is a ton of eclectic shows and performances in The CBD during your visit window

I'm also staying in Adelaide for work (3 months).
How does the metro card work? more specifically:
How do I obtain a concession metro card? is it even a different card?
Are the charges to the metro card capped in any way? in vic there is a daily limit and then you're free. How are you charged in general?

>The Health Care Card does not entitle the holder to concession benefits on public transport
Well fuck.

>>1213060
Buying a regular Metro card costs $5
You can top it up online or at the machines either putting money on and paying for travel fairs which is around $3.50 a trip or day/week passes

>>1210610
hire a car and drive around, north or south
wine regions, beautiful coast, charming country towns

the pub scene and sports scene in Adelaide are quite good

there should be some small festivals in the city

plenty of camping/fishing & bushwalking (hiking) to be done

>>1213078
>around $3.50 a trip
what constitutes a trip? it'll be at least 2 busses each way. $3.50 * 4 busses = $14 a day. Absurd.

They call it Radelaide for a reason.

(They're being sarcastic).

>>1213146
Any fares for the next 2 hours are included in the 3.50. Ergo you can bus it to town, get on another bus 30 minutes later and it won't cost you any more.

Literally wine and serial killers: the city.

Sounds like a great place for Van Patten then.

>>1210610
Cage dive with great white sharks. Go to an AFL game at Adelaide Oval.

I'm from Adelaide and im only aware of the Snowtown killers.
Shouldn't be enough for a stereotype.
