Adelaide City South Australia With Map

See Larger Adelaide Map South Australia.

The city was designed from the very beginning, with wide streets and numerous town squares, parks and wide open spaces.

Unlike its eastern city counterparts, convicts did not colonise Adelaide. Adelaide was first settled by Europeans in 1826, most of whom were British. Others included were German, Polish, Afghan, Chinese, Italian, Lebanese, Spanish and Scandinavians.

The city has preserved many of its original stone houses made by the original settlers as well as the more grand historic public buildings built during the Gold Rush years.

Parks and Gardens

The large green belt surrounding the centre of the city marks Adelaide as an unique city.

In the heart of the city and out into the suburbs, flows River Torrens that stretches for miles. Sealed cycling paths and hiking trails follow its course through gardens, parks, and natural bush.

Adelaide Botanic Garden, Mount Lofty Summit, Hallett Cove Conservation Park, Cleland Wildlife Park, and Belair National Park are among the many outstanding outdoor venues.
