"Located in the city center close to the zoo, the Adelaide Oval is a stadium established in 1871 and renovated in 2014, which hosts cricket, Australian soccer, rugby matches as well as concerts.

One of Australia’s most noted landscape artists, the historic house-come-gallery-museum is set upon 60-hectares of scenic land, just outside of Hahndorf, and holds some 200 original works. 68 Heysen Road, Hahndorf"

"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."

"South Australia’s biggest outdoor market, Gepps X (pronounced Gepps Cross) Treasure Market, completely covers the Mainline Drive-In with an interesting array of goodies available to sell. The market is a bit like a giant garage sale. Sellers can showcase their goods per vehicle, so expect truckloads of items on offer at the treasure market (literally!)."

"The Central Market is a sensory overload but keep your eye on the prize: you need to stay vigilant to snag a table at this 60-year-old institution. The spaghetti bolognese and vongole are crowd favourites, but the ravioli – beef or veg – in napoletana sauce is a big bowl of comfort. Add basil and ricotta to sweeten the deal."

"With a fit out and menu both so daggy they’re perfect, we — and the rest of Adelaide — simply can’t get enough of Lucia’s. The rickety wooden tables at this market stalwart are packed every day for good reason. It’s hard to go wrong, but we’re suckers for the alla panna, which makes a very solid case for cream-based sauces."
