"If you thought the name was a mouthful, just wait until you try the food at St Louis!. Unashamedly decadent and exotic, the basis for their menu is their locally made, rich ice-cream. The crème on top (metaphorically speaking) is their range of coffees, hot chocolates and even dessert cocktails."

"Once home to South Australia’s criminally insane patients, Glenside Hospital, formerly known as the Parkside Lunatic Asylum, amongst others, was designed in the mid-19th century by EJ Woods. Completed in 1885, it served as a psychiatric hospital until the 1970s when it was largely abandoned. Now, the hospital’s infamous Z Ward – where the criminally and mentally insane were held – is open to the public, running both day tours and ghost tours that tell the stories of the inmates and this fascinatingly dark side of colonial history."
