Adelaide is such a beautiful city and it was interesting to hear that the city was settled by free British immigrants rather than convicts. The River Torrens meanders past peaceful parks, well preserved colonial architecture and many sidewalk cafes which there seemed to be an abundance of.
Above is the most photographed heart in South Australia at Glenelg Beach Adelaide. We took the tram from the inner city all the way out to Glenelg. A 12km trip.

The beach is beautiful with white sand and gorgeous blue sea.
The lovely old Town Hall building which is very well maintained,
The city centre Christmas Tree with its ever changing lighting. Quite spectacular.
The old Town Hall in Adelaide where the Beatles appeared on the balcony during a concert visit back in the 70's.
The changing scenery of the countryside was interesting on our drive to the Borossa valley.
Wine tasting awaited us at Torbreck Winery.
The Jacobs Creek vineyards in the Barossa Valley. A really serene and sophisticated setting but the wine tasting was really just joining a production line of tour groups and the information given and serving of tastings was very automated with no real passion shown from the staff assigned to looking after the tours.
Richard found this 1928 Chev Truck at Jocobs Creek, which is the same model of the one we had restored at work a few years ago.
The lovely display of wildflowers at Jacobs Creek.
Sepelsfield Vineyard.
To finish off our day we had a delicious lunch at the Boutique hotel Louise. Jellied Beets with goats cheese, marinated relish, and walnuts. Followed by a chocolate mousse, berry sorbet, lemon curd and fresh berries. Not to mention the most tender Filet of Angus steak for mains.
