Adelaide

Sophisticated, cultured, neat-casual − the self-image Adelaide projects is a nod to the days of free colonisation. Adelaidians may remind you of their convict-free status – and of the Kaurna Aboriginal heritage of this land – but the stuffy, affluent origins of the 'City of Churches' did more to inhibit development than promote it.

Garden Island, located just outside of Adelaide, South Australia, is an island popular for its recreational boating activities such as kayaking through the mangrove forest and ship graveyard.
