Unlike most Australian cities, Adelaide is unique, for it has no convict history. The city was colonised by free people in 1826, mainly British. Others included Chinese, Italian, Scandinavian, Spanish and German. Named after Queen Adelaide, wife of British King William IV, Adelaide is surrounded by diverse landscapes and coastal beaches. The Torres River runs through the city centre.
Today, Adelaide has preserved many of its original stone houses and colonial buildings. Housed in one such building is the Art Gallery of South Australia, which has one of Australia’s finest art collections. Because of its proximity to the Indian Ocean, Adelaide is also well-known for seafood. Other places of interests include Mount Lofty Ranges, Kangaroo Island, Belair National Park and Cleland Wildlife Park, not forgetting Adelaide’s famous vineyards in Coonawara, Barossa Valley and McLaren Vale.
