Adelaide

Adelaide is a small city, but to get to it you have to drive along a road with mile-upon-mile of ugly low-rise chain outlets. All Australian cities have been like this, but Adelaide seemed to be particularly afflicted.

We visited Adelaide on the hottest day we’ve encountered anywhere so far, so all we were able to do was stagger between a couple of air-conditioned museums. The South Australia museum had an impressive exhibition of Aboriginal artefacts and the Immigration museum told  what it was like for all those people who emigrated to South Australia.

Adelaide has some elegant colonial stone-built architecture, but heat-induced lethargy and lack of inspirations means there aren’t any photos to show you.
