LocationFounded in 1836, Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia and is the center of the economic, cultural, political, and social life of the state. It is an attractive, well-planned city of wide streets and boulevards, squares, parklands, and a mixture of historic and modern buildings.

Adelaide is a friendly and safe city – it is small enough to be friendly and welcoming, yet large enough to provide plenty of attractions and entertainment. Adelaide enjoys a Mediterranean climate with warm, dry summers and cool winters.
There are ample recreation activities including cinemas and theatres, music, and shopping; swimming, sailing, and windsurfing at nearby beaches; and hiking and exploring the towns, villages, and wineries in the Mount Lofty Ranges adjacent to the city.
