Adelaide, South Australia

Adelaide is the driest capital city in the driest state in the driest country in the driest continent.
The city was designed on a one mile grid with parks all around the perimeter. The Torrens River flows between North Adelaide and the city. We live in North Adelaide near the Anglican Archbishop's enclave of sandstone buildings. Adelaide is called "the city of churches", but we call it the "city of cafes". All the restaurants we sampled so far are excellent. Bike paths are everywhere. The seaside is a short drive with beautiful beaches. Vineyards are less than one hour away in all directions. The wine tastes great. The Adeladie Hills surround the city.
