Mini Adventures Adelaide
Known as the ‘city of churches’, Adelaide is the epicentre
of South Australia and remains a desirable location for international students.
Quieter than fellow capitals Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane, Adelaide is
epitomised by fine weather, superb surrounding wineries and rich history.
Wine and dine
The Barossa Valley is not only one of Australia’s oldest
winery regions, it is also one of the best in the entire world. Offering wine
tastings, markets, set lunches, shopping, cycling, art exhibitions and
accommodation, Barossa can cater to students whatever their fancy.
Beach-side
Based in Adelaide’s south-east, beachside suburb Glenelg has
an abundance of highly regarded bars and restaurants but the main attraction
for visitors tends to be the memorable experience of swimming with dolphins in
the pristine waters.
Footy frenzy
Two Australian Football League (AFL) clubs, Port Adelaide
Power and the Adelaide Crows, call the city home and the rivalry is fierce. For
students wanting to become engrained in the nation’s most popular sport, a
viewing of the annual ‘Showdown’ clash at Adelaide Oval between the two sides
is a must.
Taste of Europe
The Adelaide Hills town of Hahndorf is the oldest German
settlement in Australia, blending contemporary Australian culture with the
setting of a picturesque European village.
