Adelaide

Founded in 1826 by English fleeing religious discrimination, Adelaide was named after the wife of King William of England. A tidy city of 1.1 million, its wide streets and avenues were laid out on a strict north-south, east-west pattern with a broad park surrounding the inner city. Thought to be a defensive measure, the park is about as wide as the range of the cannon of the day and adds a grace note of beauty in this hot, dry region.

King William Street is the main thoroughfare dividing the inner city north-south.

The free shuttle bus provided by the City of Adelaide makes the trip to the city center Rundle Pedestrian Mall in about 30-40 minutes.
