Historic Sites in Queenstown

"Widely reputed to be the prettiest cricket ground in the world, the Adelaide Oval hosts all kinds of different sporting events throughout the year. Opened in 1871, it still exhibits some incredible Edwardian architecture in places, and its old scoreboard helps retain its charm among the more modern developments. Watching a game of cricket or Australian rules football here is a great way to experience the passion with which Aussies support their local teams."

"The South Australian capital is nicknamed the City of Churches, but its most famous cathedral is dedicated to sport, a venue that routinely draws a crowd of 50,000-plus to worship at the altar of cricket and Australian football. Rock up in summer for a game of cricket – either the Australian national team or the Adelaide Strikers Big Bash franchise – or in winter to see the city’s beloved AFL clubs, the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power."

"If you don’t know Sir Hans Heysen, then why not get acquainted by visiting his home. 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."

"Nutrition Republic began as a sports supplement and nutrition store before evolving into an expresso and elixir bar in 2013, focusing on whole, unprocessed foods. The name of the game is organic coffee, protein superfood smoothies, coconut water elixirs, healthy plant-based meals and raw desserts as well as raw vegan snacks, condiments and supplements in the retail section of the Goodwood store."

"A bright and colourful breakfast and lunch menu packed full of some of the healthiest and tastiest vegan food you could ever wish for. They place a lot of emphasis on sourcing the very best ingredients, which is what makes the dishes taste so good. Along with their seriously good juices, you’ll be feeling super healthy with every mouthful of the food here."
