Decadent dessert bars in Adelaide
"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."

Must-Visit Attractions in Adelaide, Australia
"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."
