Adelaide

Great food, fine wine, a sense of history and the good life can be found in the elegant City of Adelaide – the capital of South Australia and home to more than 1.1 million people. Adelaide boasts more restaurants per capita than any other city in Australia. It is also known as the wine capital of Australia with six of the top ten Australian wines made within a few hours drive of the city.

Adelaide is one of the best planned cities in the world, making it an easy city to get around. The compact city centre means that delegates are never far away from accommodation, restaurants, shopping and attractions. Most facilities are conveniently located near one another and all are within walking distance.

Adelaide’s cultural boulevard, North Terrace, is home to the Art Gallery of South Australia, the Bradman Cricket Museum and the South Australian Museum: home to one of the largest collections of Indigenous Australian artefacts in the world.
