I was born in Adelaide and went on holiday to the UK at age 6, 44 years later I finally made it home. Those who are bagging Adelaide can’t have watched the video, there were places I haven’t visited in years and some I have never visited but definitely intend to. Yes we are not as big as other cities but we have a great little city and it’s one to be proud of. Thank you for reminding me how lucky I am to live here. And btw definitely a Vegemite lover, nice and thick on buttered toast, yum!
I have visited lots of tourist areas, china, vietnam, japan, singapore.. one day driving down North Terrace I was stunned at how lovely it was, the old heritage area, museum, art gallery etc, then you cross King William and its all modern.. its an amazing transformation. Light Square, Torrens river.. it really is pretty.
I am the opposite! I was born in England and moved to Adelaide when I was 6! We came on a holiday here first and then moved a few months later! I have only been back to England once but if I go back again, I want to see more than just where my family and family friends are! I’m 24 now and there are still lots of places in the city and in South Australia in general that I haven’t been! We are bigger than people think we are and there are so many beautiful places to explore! I am a vegemite hater though!
@@AnywhereGoesthe trick with Vegemite is it goes on top of butter and perhaps a heated 🥐. Delicious!! I grew up on it and at 61, still prefer it to any other spread 😊😊 Thank you for your lovely video of our city 🎉🎉
Adelaide is basically the city of churches and wines in Barossa Valley. Big Italian community, then Vietnamese around the 80s - 2000s. Right now we have Arabs and Indians
Every Australian cried out in pain when you ate the Vegemite. You need plain bread, lots of butter and that thin Vegemite spread. I tell people new to it 4 parts butter to 1 part Vegemite and then increase to taste.
OMG yes! That sachet was enough for two slices of buttered toast. Find a local to make some for you. I'm up the road in Alice Springs and just bought bakery Spelt bread to make some before I go to work. Yum yum yum!
Adelaide has totally spoilt me for how walkable it is. Really a great city centre that I’ve been taking for granted for many years now. The multicultural elements give it so much variety and some brilliant food
I loved your video. I was indecisive about doing an exchange program in Adelaide or Perth, and after this incredible trip, I'll be living in Adelaide for a year. Keep making these videos. I wish you all the best! Thank you.
Hey I hope you have a fantastic time here. You won't be short of things to do! Don't be afraid to go online and participate in meetups by looking at social media groups.
Yeah but I’m scared too many more videos like these and it won’t be for long 😬 I don’t mind people bagging Adelaide … Wish more would. Keeps it unspoilt.
Adelaide is usually known as the 20 minute city by other states because you don’t usually need to drive over an hour to our biggest tourist hotspots (wineries, hills, beaches ect). I’ve heard the name thrown around a few times and my family have been here our whole lives as well. It’s just a snappy little nickname, it’s not that serious ❤ This video was so sweet and cute, thanks for showcasing our beautiful city! You should see it during festival season! The fridge is EVERYTHING ✨
I’m from SA but have lived in Sydney a long time and I’ve never heard that. I think it is the 20 minute city because you can see the city in 20 minutes. I find in Sydney you don’t need a car, walking and public transport is a pleasure. In Adelaide you will get frustrated waiting for buses and the most original sites are hour was the city.
Born and bred in Adelaide but now living in the lower south east of SA, thank you for showcasing my beautiful home town in such an amazing and inspiring way! Next time in Adelaide we are going to take the time to walk the city and really take in all she has to offer. ❤
I think the idea of the Christmas pageant is to be all things child-orientated. The floats are mostly fairytale or child/family movie themed and there are also plenty of clowns. There are also a lot of marching bands, dancers, etc. So it's definitely not just Christmas themed floats, but it's certainly all stuff that kids love. Really gets kids hyped for summer holidays and then of course Santa at the end to realllly get kids hyped haha. :D
Incredible that it rained while you filmed, considering we are the driest city in the driest state of Australia! What a charming look at my city. Thanks so much!
Even though Adelaide is the 20 minute city, there are some lovely things to behold in greater South Australia I hope you one day see. I smiled at "she just asked if I want sauce, I said yes but I didn't know what I was gonna get", it's something so culturally ingrained that I forget about it and when you hear someone else's reaction you're like "so true" 😂
nah mate, that is not the way. That's the pussy way, I can eat a vegemite sandwich. We love the flavour and getting less of it or having to eat it in a way you cant taste it, means you dont like it.
Hi, Thanks for coming to Adelaide and checking out all the good spots! We've had the Christmas pageant for as long as I remember, maybe even longer. It used to signal the start of when Santa came to the Mall. As for Vegemite, my husband loves it but I loath it. :P Adelaide is a really nice city to visit! Glad you had a good time! :D
The Museum is brilliant - it somehow manages to be a museum of types of museum displays as well - starting with the very 1900s unchanged since forever Egyptian room.
But..Every SA child for the last 80 years has visited on a school excursion at some stage..Its no longer just Egyption history..It lives in the hearts of all of us.. 😅
The Christmas pageant was started by the John Martins department store in the early 30s after the depression years. It continued under the banner of John Martins until the store closed in the 90s.
Just stumbled across your channel ... love this one (I married an Adelaidean) ;) Vegemite on hot toast with melted butter is the best! But I think you need to have eaten it since you were born hehehe ... thanks for a great tour of Adelaide
I could literally eat it off a spoon in sparrow quantities repeatedly. Super salty and yeasty, but has a moreish taste that you may get addicted to. But not a fiend for it, despite being Australian and having ate tons as a child.
That was such an awesome video on my hometown. Born and bred in Adelaide, I'm currently 28 years old. Have family in most other states and have travelled to every cpaital city. I would never live anywhere else. Adelaide is the most beautiful city in Australia. It's no where near as chaotic as Sydney or Melbourne yet it still has such a brilliant variety of attractions and countless places to visit. The state of South Australia is unmatched in my very non-biased opinion *wink-wink*. 😂 Wonderful channel guys, you have found yourself a new subscriber right here! 😁
Never heard the nickname 20 minute city before or has my friends,I lived in Adelaide & Adelaide Hills well over 50 years, Usually called the city of churches or festival city👍🏻
Hey Mack, glad you found us! Make sure you try Vegemite the way it's been suggested here in the comments because we clearly did it wrong haha. Thanks for watching and enjoy Adelaide!
I loved your video. As an Adelaide resident I thought you did a great job of describing just a few of our fabulous attractions. Hint re Vegemite. You must have it with butter! It’s a strange savoury flavour but Aussie kids love it from a very young age.
Finally some good feedback of Adelaide, I had my school formal in the wine centre. I did notice you passed a few areas to go to, like the art gallery or old adelaide gaol. Even the zoo! Would highly recommend coming back.
As an Adelaidian, WELL DONE ! You’ve reminded me of several places I need to visit again, soon! Thank you… As a several times visitor to North America you’ve reminded me that crossing the border into Canada always felt a lot like going home! Hope you enjoyed every minute of your stay in Oz… I’ll be along for the ride.. PS. It’s OK about the Vegemite thing. You have to start eating it at six months of age to have any chance of acquiring a taste for it!😅
Missed the Adelaide Beaches, shame. Only a 25-minute tram ride to Glenelg then could get on a scooter up to Henley or go the other way up to Brighton. They are as good as anywhere in Australia. At least Adelaide has proper beaches close to the city, unlike Melbourne. Ooo, well, next time. Great video..🙂
You guys just popped up, so enjoying your experiences as I've never been to Adelaide but live in Australia. What are you doing though, putting Vegemite on a croissant 😖 that's a big no. It had to be on white bread/toast referrably with a nice lot of butter (not a substitute either) & yes go lightly on the amount of Vegemite. No wonder you didn't like it... totally wrong choice 😮.
I live in Melbourne, but was born and raised in Adelaide. A long-time Carer, I've been unable to get back to my home town since 1982. THANK YOU, dear Canadian friends, for bringing my home town to ME! 🥲
I live in Adelaide, you should visit Semaphore, Port Adelaide and Glenelg best sunset but Port Noarlunga was the popular for a sunset. glad you enjoy it!
I love Adelaide ( my home). Very underrated place. Vegemite should be eaten on white bread toast with plenty of butter. Never had it on a croissant, and no one I know has, either.
Next time in Adelaide try to venture further: our beaches are the best, especially Somerton and Tennyson as you have remnants of the previous dune system still in place and an area requiring a few more days are the Adelaide Hills! Best time to visit is late winter to early spring as all native vegetation will be in flower, waterfalls in full flow and koalas and roos everywhere. So, come back!
Really natural and engaging style, good range of content and places covered. We've just started prepping for our upcoming trip to Australia and were struggling to find well put together stuff. Well done. Gotta try one of those pies!
If you do come to Adelaide I would suggest a day trip to Glenelg via the tram. Head to Orange Spot Bakery on Anzac Highway for a pie or better still a vegetarian pasty and a vanilla slice for dessert.
If you ever decide to come back to Adelaide, you should visit some more places outside the city. There's the Barossa which is our state's major wine region (and where I live), Monarto Zoo, Victor Harbour, ANY of our beautiful beaches (which are generally safer and less crowded than east-coast beaches like Bondi), the Coorong and the mouth of the Murray, Mt Lofty, Mt Gambier, Kangaroo Island, Wilpena Pound... and if you're willing to go a bit further I highly recommend checking out the Opal mines in Coober Pedy.
You should have travelled on the tram to the beach side suburb of Glenelg and spent the day there. And it is a Football stadium! And how about Adelaide's food halls. You would be hard pressed to find a decent one in Melbourne.
New subscriber here. This is such a gorgeous overview of the only place that I will ever want to call home. Thankyou for visiting all the favourite places that my youngest child and I have. Please come back and I will happily transport you to some absolutely magical places (one of my favourite things to do is show new friends the rest of our beautiful state) plus our native animal sanctuary. Our beaches, our country towns, our wine regions, Victor Harbor. Adelaide has the best of all Worlds. I love to travel, but I love coming home. Ps, my 15 year old son fire spins under that bridge with the Fire community and I've never seen bats or flying foxes yet 😊
I'm from Adelaide and just stumbled across this video - thanks for making my city look so fun, it really is beautiful i love living here. I eat Vegemite on toast every morning for breakfast and would never put vegemite on a crossaint that combo would be so gross 😅 definitely if you want to give it another go on toast still hot with plenty of melty butter and a hint of vegemite - its the best!!
Love my SA. City’s not my thing but definitely ocean n hills are greatest to see. And that’s a really poor sample of Vegemite . Try with hot toast w/ butter (not marg) even melted cheese ❤
I moved from Adelaide to Brisbane back in 2018. I miss Adelaide, people tend to pay it out but it is by far my fav place to live. I will 100% be returning in the future😍
@@aleph-tav I got a job offer up in QLD. If it was not for that, I would still be in ADL. You will LOVE Adelaide, the beaches are gorgeous and there is a lot to do. In Brisbane it is so humid, it is UNBEARABLE !! Plus, it floods.. A LOT. Where are you moving from?
@@jjackkk887 We are moving from New Zealand, if the Lord willing, by the end of May. We are really looking forward to it!! NZ feels like the UK - always raining and windy - looking forward to some good weather
@@aleph-tav Adelaide is pretty miserable in winter with the winter rainfall. Personally, I think the weather is the worst thing about Adelaide, but I like it hot
And for those who live in the city or around Adelaide, a less known fact about the Adelaide Arcade is that it's haunted but the spirit of an old security guard. And he haunts the upper floors, and if somehow get into the Arcade when it's closed, it's said he'll run from the upstairs down to you and chase you out yelling at you to leave the property immediately. Which is interesting because there are no stairs there anymore or at least not where they used to be. Haven't been there in years myself, also the old folk know more about it.
There were once Tea Rooms in the basement under the tesselated tiled 1st floor..There was a push to reopen them a few years back, but the ceiling height didnt meet building standards and digging out the basement floor was too pricey..
We are moving to Adelaide from the Uk in 2 months. Super excited but also a bit terrified for this big move. Thanks guys to give some ideas of what to expect. Any tips for newcomers to Adelaide / Australia?
Welcome to Adelaide! You will love it as it is the most "European feel" city in Australia. Once here, make sure you explore the beaches of Henley and Brighton and the hills at Morialta and Cleland! Also, visit Stirling, Port Adelaide, and the sugar loaf at Hallet Cove. A Sunday drive to Willunga through the McLaren Valley (maybe by hiring an electric bicycle from the visitor centre and ride on shared walking/riding path) is also a great way to explore our closest wine region. Enjoy.
Adelaide regularly ranks highly in the annual liveability index of The Economist. In 2021 it was rated the most liveable city in Australia and 3rd most liveable in the world. Something weird happened in 2023, though, when Melbourne took those same positions.
I hope you settle in. The food and coffee should not disappoint. Definitely get to the central market. It's an amazing place Don't miss our suburban beaches. They are beautiful. Very easy to get around. Hope you can get to live close to the beach or the city. Good roads, easy parking. Everyone pretty chilled and friendly. Lots of beautiful architecture - events all year round. My favourite the Tour Down Under Cycling. Great weather although our winters can get cold (and we don't build our buildings for winter comfort so you'll probably feel colder here) - and summers can get very very hot. But in between beautiful days. Clean air, blue blue skies. Enjoy
Hi guys really enjoy your videos. Glad you’re enjoying our great country Australia. With Vegemite it is an acquired taste. Us Aussies are fed it from babies. The best way to have Vegemite is on white toast with lots of butter and a small scraping of Vegemite. The amount of Vegemite i use depends on my mood. The other great way to eat it is on a cheese toasted sandwich.
I agree! It’s certainly not like “peanut butter” as some are unfortunately told. Slight scraping and preferably with cheese is definitely the best way to go!
I live in Adelaide and love it. I have to agree with you, I don't like vegemite but i love promite, which isn't as salty. I have it for breakfast on sourdough bread and then put avocado on top and a drizzle of honey on the avocado... love it! 😊 My grandchildren, of all ages, love vegemite. 😅
The Christmas Pageant is a South Australian icon. Taken from a recent newspaper article about a book, written about the now-defunct department store that originally hosted it (and the family who opened the store), "They opened the first Magic Cave in 1896 and launched the Christmas Pageant in 1933, as a way to lift people’s spirits during the Great Depression". It's generally held on the second Saturday in November, except when that's the same day as Remembrance/Armistice Day as they can't have two parades at once. It was never a tradition in my family, but some make a big thing out of going every year. I guess the non-Christmas floats are supposed to remind us of childhood memories and favourite toys/gifts. They used to have brass bands marching as well, but I don't know how many of the bands still exist.
I'm from Adelaide, just had this video recommended to me. So glad you enjoyed it and man you made it look a lot better than I thought it was lol I've actually never heard of it being called the 20 min city, so you educated me on my own city lol. Christmas parades with a variety of floats is something I've always experienced so it never occurred to me that it might be weird to some people. I find it pretty funny how Australia is huge on wine but we're more known for beer drinking. I'm sure someone has already told you this but, meat pies have tomato sauce on them, not ketchup, they're actually different types of sauces. Lmao your faces when you ate Vegemite. I love it, i just eat it out the jar with a spoon haha. Glad you enjoyed your trip here.
Thank you for showing our beautiful city in a few days. Love our museum and art gallery. Vegemite is one of those tastes that you need to start small and you will enjoy the taste....try it alternating with a mouth full of marmalade. We have so much more to show people who wish to visit for more than a day or two. 20 minutes from the beach to the city and within an hour we have such amazing vineyards. You are always welcome back.
Nicely done. I am from Adelaide and always makes you appreciate your home more when you see others enjoy it. FYI with the vegemite, you should of put a lot of butter first, then a little bit of vegemite and then some cheese.
Vegemite is the absolute best, the problem is you didn't put in on thick enough. You gotta lather it on there. Plus a croissant isn't really the right type of bread for it.
It depends on the person, the traditional way to have it is a thin layer with lots of butter, some people can’t handle the saltiness more than others, plus I wouldn’t recommend foreigners lathering it on as it’s very very yeasty and strong. Edit: a croissant isn’t isn’t a bread, it’s a pastry
In Adelaide, the Christmas Pageant is when Santa comes to town so the kids can go to the shopping centres and visit Santa It's so nice to see a video like this showcasing the beautiful city I live in, and I love how you are sharing knowledge you've learned too. I didn't know that SA wasn't settled by convicts until I was 30 years old! My dad's ancestors sailed from Prussia to Port Adelaide and settled in Lobethal ^_^ Did you guys goes to the Adelaide Hills? Hahndorf is popular for tourists and you HAVE to visit Mount Lofty Summit
Great video guys. I am Australian by choice for 23 years and it will be my first time in Adelaide tomorrow for a week. You get used to eat vegemite but is with toast and butter. I can handle a lot but not eating anymore due to the amount of sodium. I don't have high blood pressure but still is too much.
Lived there for 18 months last century - Adelaide was a welcome change after growing up in Sydney. Winter is my biggest issue with anything down south, and Adelaide has some absolutely hideous days in Summer - it seems that you caught it at it's best. Thanks for exploring a different part of Oz to the usual SYD-MEL tango.
Adelaide is almost due West of Sydney, which is slightly South of Perth. The weather is excellent, except for some very hot Summer days. Many people are glad to escape the humidity of Sydney and Brisbane and the miserable Winter of Melbourne.
@@geoffoconnor3487 to each their own. I found Adelaide colder than Sydney just as I found Toowoomba to be a lot colder than Brisbane. Nothing like a mountain range to lower temps ;)
@@geoffoconnor3487 I'm referring to Toowoomba but in Adelaide's case, its proximity to the Great Southern Ocean. Nothing between the SA coast and Antarctica.
The Adelaide Christmas Pageant is one of the oldest in the world starting in 1933. Adelaide Oval would have been lit up rainbow for the Feast Festival (the local Pride festival we have in November). Thanks for this great highlights of Adelaide video.
Yes I do like this 😂 I would make 4 peices of toast with butter that melts before you can open the jar. And just throw it on haha. I would also put cheese on top
Thank you two beautiful humans for visiting our city! This was such a sweet and uplifting look at the CBD. There's a lot to do in the hills, south of the city and beaches, as well as trips down the peninsula. Sorry you didn't like Vegemite! 😅 Enjoy your travels
I've lived in Bundy (Bundaberg) my whole life. Seems crazy the places you can travel to, that have the drink made in our home town, including Bundaberg rum. Bundy brewed drinks have just built a massive factory on the edge of town. I'm over 60 and for as long as I remember, we have had the best soft drinks, Salters being the company i remember as a kid. I'm glad you got to try the meat pie and lamington as well👍
As an Adeladian who has lived interstate, I wouldn't live anywhere else. Your video was great, but I hope you get to return because you really only scratched the surface of what Adelaide has to offer all year round.
I love the beef noodle soup from dumpling king. The Korean restaurant called Mandoo(dumplings) has the best dumplings ever. It’s on Bank st near the tram station outside of the Adelaide metro station
I've lived in Adelaide all my life and I've never heard of a "20 min" city. Our historic and protected surrounding parklands were designed for city defence (and the 5 squares were for armoury positions). The Markets are the best. I wish you got to try a pie floater.
@AnywhereGoes Sadly, none of the Pie Carts remain but you can still get pie floaters at Cafe De Vili's - which is an Adelaide icon in itself. It's open 24 hours.
I love how you say Adelaide. Adelaide is a hidden gem and one of the beautiful cities in Australia. I love Adelaide and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I think lamingtons are a South Australian cake and you need to have Vegemite with lots of butter. I don’t like Vegemite though as it’s very salty.
Ahhh just found this lovely look at my hometown, sadly you didn't make to to the Himeji Japanese Garden, Adelaide is sister city to Himeji and we have a small garden with waterfalls, a zen stone garden, and other little Japanese outdoorsy things.

Regardless of how you eat this, it is a very acquired taste for anyone not born here. It's definitely a "no" from me.

We know for next time!
And super thin

It's no where near as chaotic as Sydney or Melbourne yet it still has such a brilliant variety of attractions and countless places to visit. The state of South Australia is unmatched in my very non-biased opinion *wink-wink*. 😂
Wonderful channel guys, you have found yourself a new subscriber right here! 😁
Thanks for watching and welcome!
Adelaide’s a great city, my brother lives there and I often visit for family and work and always enjoy
I've lived in Adelaide for 23 yrs and never knew of the nickname 20 minute city
Never heard the nickname 20 minute city before or has my friends,I lived in Adelaide & Adelaide Hills well over 50 years,
Usually called the city of churches or festival city👍🏻
I'm headed to Adelaide next week. You guys make great videos! I'm a digital nomad myself and I enjoy what ya’ll are doing with this channel!
Hey Mack, glad you found us! Make sure you try Vegemite the way it's been suggested here in the comments because we clearly did it wrong haha. Thanks for watching and enjoy Adelaide!
I'm proud to call this place home and glade that you enjoyed your time here
I loved your video. As an Adelaide resident I thought you did a great job of describing just a few of our fabulous attractions. Hint re Vegemite. You must have it with butter! It’s a strange savoury flavour but Aussie kids love it from a very young age.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Finally some good feedback of Adelaide, I had my school formal in the wine centre. I did notice you passed a few areas to go to, like the art gallery or old adelaide gaol. Even the zoo! Would highly recommend coming back.
Adelaide is great during the Fringe Festival in March and Illuniate in winter
Adelaide 500
I saw this and immediately subscribed! I want to see this everyday! My best friend lives there in the middle of city!
As an Adelaidian, WELL DONE ! You’ve reminded me of several places I need to visit again, soon! Thank you…
As a several times visitor to North America you’ve reminded me that crossing the border into Canada always felt a lot like going home!
Hope you enjoyed every minute of your stay in Oz… I’ll be along for the ride..
PS. It’s OK about the Vegemite thing. You have to start eating it at six months of age to have any chance of acquiring a taste for it!😅
Very sweet of you, thanks for watching!
My hometown. Best place on earth. I really miss it a lot and can't wait to return, someday. You don't know how lucky you are to be there.
Missed the Adelaide Beaches, shame.
Only a 25-minute tram ride to Glenelg then could get on a scooter up to Henley or go the other way up to Brighton. They are as good as anywhere in Australia. At least Adelaide has proper beaches close to the city, unlike Melbourne.
Ooo, well, next time.
Great video..🙂
We were only there for a weekend which isn't nearly enough time to appreciate the city or the state. Next time we'll be there for more time for sure!
In the rain?
Thanks for making a fantastic well represented video of my hometown that I am so proud of. Enjoyed watching. You guys are delightful.
Thanks for the kind words and for watching!
As an Australian I would never have Vegemite on a croissant
Very liveable city. Good base for nature trips and in summer we have superb arts festivals
You guys just popped up, so enjoying your experiences as I've never been to Adelaide but live in Australia. What are you doing though, putting Vegemite on a croissant 😖 that's a big no. It had to be on white bread/toast referrably with a nice lot of butter (not a substitute either) & yes go lightly on the amount of Vegemite. No wonder you didn't like it... totally wrong choice 😮.
I live in Melbourne, but was born and raised in Adelaide. A long-time Carer, I've been unable to get back to my home town since 1982. THANK YOU, dear Canadian friends, for bringing my home town to ME! 🥲
So glad you enjoyed it! It means a lot.
I live in Adelaide, you should visit Semaphore, Port Adelaide and Glenelg best sunset but Port Noarlunga was the popular for a sunset. glad you enjoy it!
Hot take 😂🙏
I love Adelaide ( my home). Very underrated place.
Vegemite should be eaten on white bread toast with plenty of butter. Never had it on a croissant, and no one I know has, either.
But have you had it with scrambled eggs? 😉
Next time in Adelaide try to venture further: our beaches are the best, especially Somerton and Tennyson as you have remnants of the previous dune system still in place and an area requiring a few more days are the Adelaide Hills! Best time to visit is late winter to early spring as all native vegetation will be in flower, waterfalls in full flow and koalas and roos everywhere. So, come back!
Really natural and engaging style, good range of content and places covered. We've just started prepping for our upcoming trip to Australia and were struggling to find well put together stuff. Well done. Gotta try one of those pies!
Aww, thank you so much! Glad we can help ☺️
If you do come to Adelaide I would suggest a day trip to Glenelg via the tram. Head to Orange Spot Bakery on Anzac Highway for a pie or better still a vegetarian pasty and a vanilla slice for dessert.
What a lovely little video about my home town 🥰
If you ever decide to come back to Adelaide, you should visit some more places outside the city. There's the Barossa which is our state's major wine region (and where I live), Monarto Zoo, Victor Harbour, ANY of our beautiful beaches (which are generally safer and less crowded than east-coast beaches like Bondi), the Coorong and the mouth of the Murray, Mt Lofty, Mt Gambier, Kangaroo Island, Wilpena Pound... and if you're willing to go a bit further I highly recommend checking out the Opal mines in Coober Pedy.
Added to the list!
You should have travelled on the tram to the beach side suburb of Glenelg and spent the day there. And it is a Football stadium! And how about Adelaide's food halls. You would be hard pressed to find a decent one in Melbourne.
Adelaide Oval was for cricket loooong before it was a football stadium! So she’s not wrong in what she said
Not accusing her of being wrong, only stating my personal opinion of the Adelaide Oval. And it's Football!
New subscriber here. This is such a gorgeous overview of the only place that I will ever want to call home. Thankyou for visiting all the favourite places that my youngest child and I have.
Please come back and I will happily transport you to some absolutely magical places (one of my favourite things to do is show new friends the rest of our beautiful state) plus our native animal sanctuary. Our beaches, our country towns, our wine regions, Victor Harbor. Adelaide has the best of all Worlds. I love to travel, but I love coming home.
Ps, my 15 year old son fire spins under that bridge with the Fire community and I've never seen bats or flying foxes yet 😊
Your son sounds so cool, thanks for watching- we're excited to return!
I'm from Adelaide and just stumbled across this video - thanks for making my city look so fun, it really is beautiful i love living here. I eat Vegemite on toast every morning for breakfast and would never put vegemite on a crossaint that combo would be so gross 😅 definitely if you want to give it another go on toast still hot with plenty of melty butter and a hint of vegemite - its the best!!
Yes, we plan to have it differently next time, we've learned lol glad you enjoyed!
Glad you enjoyed Adelaide but also sad you missed out on soooooo many beautiful beaches!
Love my SA. City’s not my thing but definitely ocean n hills are greatest to see.
And that’s a really poor sample of Vegemite . Try with hot toast w/ butter (not marg) even melted cheese ❤
I moved from Adelaide to Brisbane back in 2018. I miss Adelaide, people tend to pay it out but it is by far my fav place to live. I will 100% be returning in the future😍
Why did you move to BNE? My fam and I are moving to Adelaide in June, we had an option BNE or Adelaide...selected Adelaide
@@aleph-tav I got a job offer up in QLD. If it was not for that, I would still be in ADL. You will LOVE Adelaide, the beaches are gorgeous and there is a lot to do. In Brisbane it is so humid, it is UNBEARABLE !! Plus, it floods.. A LOT. Where are you moving from?
@@jjackkk887 We are moving from New Zealand, if the Lord willing, by the end of May. We are really looking forward to it!! NZ feels like the UK - always raining and windy - looking forward to some good weather
@@aleph-tav
Adelaide is pretty miserable in winter with the winter rainfall.
Personally, I think the weather is the worst thing about Adelaide, but I like it hot
@@joshs470not so bad. It rains all bloody year in Melbourne.
And for those who live in the city or around Adelaide, a less known fact about the Adelaide Arcade is that it's haunted but the spirit of an old security guard. And he haunts the upper floors, and if somehow get into the Arcade when it's closed, it's said he'll run from the upstairs down to you and chase you out yelling at you to leave the property immediately.
Which is interesting because there are no stairs there anymore or at least not where they used to be. Haven't been there in years myself, also the old folk know more about it.
There were once Tea Rooms in the basement under the tesselated tiled 1st floor..There was a push to reopen them a few years back, but the ceiling height didnt meet building standards and digging out the basement floor was too pricey..
Not too many trading shops now😢
We are moving to Adelaide from the Uk in 2 months. Super excited but also a bit terrified for this big move. Thanks guys to give some ideas of what to expect. Any tips for newcomers to Adelaide / Australia?
Welcome from an Adelaide Brit. You'll love it.
Welcome to Adelaide! You will love it as it is the most "European feel" city in Australia. Once here, make sure you explore the beaches of Henley and Brighton and the hills at Morialta and Cleland! Also, visit Stirling, Port Adelaide, and the sugar loaf at Hallet Cove. A Sunday drive to Willunga through the McLaren Valley (maybe by hiring an electric bicycle from the visitor centre and ride on shared walking/riding path) is also a great way to explore our closest wine region. Enjoy.
Adelaide regularly ranks highly in the annual liveability index of The Economist. In 2021 it was rated the most liveable city in Australia and 3rd most liveable in the world. Something weird happened in 2023, though, when Melbourne took those same positions.
I hope you settle in. The food and coffee should not disappoint. Definitely get to the central market. It's an amazing place Don't miss our suburban beaches. They are beautiful. Very easy to get around. Hope you can get to live close to the beach or the city. Good roads, easy parking. Everyone pretty chilled and friendly. Lots of beautiful architecture - events all year round. My favourite the Tour Down Under Cycling. Great weather although our winters can get cold (and we don't build our buildings for winter comfort so you'll probably feel colder here) - and summers can get very very hot. But in between beautiful days. Clean air, blue blue skies. Enjoy
Hi guys really enjoy your videos. Glad you’re enjoying our great country Australia. With Vegemite it is an acquired taste. Us Aussies are fed it from babies. The best way to have Vegemite is on white toast with lots of butter and a small scraping of Vegemite. The amount of Vegemite i use depends on my mood. The other great way to eat it is on a cheese toasted sandwich.
It already sounds better when you describe it like that. We'll have to try again!
I agree! It’s certainly not like “peanut butter” as some are unfortunately told. Slight scraping and preferably with cheese is definitely the best way to go!
Such a lovely video. Thanks!!
So blessed to of been able to grow up in Adelaide. Best city in the world
I live in Adelaide and love it.
I have to agree with you, I don't like vegemite but i love promite, which isn't as salty. I have it for breakfast on sourdough bread and then put avocado on top and a drizzle of honey on the avocado... love it! 😊
My grandchildren, of all ages, love vegemite. 😅
We haven't even heard of promite, we'll have to look it up next time!
The Christmas Pageant is a South Australian icon. Taken from a recent newspaper article about a book, written about the now-defunct department store that originally hosted it (and the family who opened the store), "They opened the first Magic Cave in 1896 and launched the Christmas Pageant in 1933, as a way to lift people’s spirits during the Great Depression". It's generally held on the second Saturday in November, except when that's the same day as Remembrance/Armistice Day as they can't have two parades at once. It was never a tradition in my family, but some make a big thing out of going every year. I guess the non-Christmas floats are supposed to remind us of childhood memories and favourite toys/gifts. They used to have brass bands marching as well, but I don't know how many of the bands still exist.
Beautiful video on Adelaide. We love it here :)
I'm from Adelaide, just had this video recommended to me. So glad you enjoyed it and man you made it look a lot better than I thought it was lol
I've actually never heard of it being called the 20 min city, so you educated me on my own city lol. Christmas parades with a variety of floats is something I've always experienced so it never occurred to me that it might be weird to some people.
I find it pretty funny how Australia is huge on wine but we're more known for beer drinking.
I'm sure someone has already told you this but, meat pies have tomato sauce on them, not ketchup, they're actually different types of sauces.
Lmao your faces when you ate Vegemite. I love it, i just eat it out the jar with a spoon haha. Glad you enjoyed your trip here.
If not sure exactly you guys filmed your trip. But I think the wedding that was happening in the Botanic Gardens was my teacher's 😂
Thank you for showing our beautiful city in a few days. Love our museum and art gallery. Vegemite is one of those tastes that you need to start small and you will enjoy the taste....try it alternating with a mouth full of marmalade. We have so much more to show people who wish to visit for more than a day or two. 20 minutes from the beach to the city and within an hour we have such amazing vineyards. You are always welcome back.
I’ve lived in Adelaide for 28yrs and never have I ever heard the CBD referred to as the “20 minute city”.
Nicely done. I am from Adelaide and always makes you appreciate your home more when you see others enjoy it. FYI with the vegemite, you should of put a lot of butter first, then a little bit of vegemite and then some cheese.
Thank you for coming to my city
Thanks for having us!
How did this comment appear here? I did not make it!
Vegemite is the absolute best, the problem is you didn't put in on thick enough. You gotta lather it on there. Plus a croissant isn't really the right type of bread for it.
It depends on the person, the traditional way to have it is a thin layer with lots of butter, some people can’t handle the saltiness more than others, plus I wouldn’t recommend foreigners lathering it on as it’s very very yeasty and strong.
Edit: a croissant isn’t isn’t a bread, it’s a pastry
In Adelaide, the Christmas Pageant is when Santa comes to town so the kids can go to the shopping centres and visit Santa
It's so nice to see a video like this showcasing the beautiful city I live in, and I love how you are sharing knowledge you've learned too. I didn't know that SA wasn't settled by convicts until I was 30 years old! My dad's ancestors sailed from Prussia to Port Adelaide and settled in Lobethal ^_^ Did you guys goes to the Adelaide Hills? Hahndorf is popular for tourists and you HAVE to visit Mount Lofty Summit
Great video guys. I am Australian by choice for 23 years and it will be my first time in Adelaide tomorrow for a week. You get used to eat vegemite but is with toast and butter. I can handle a lot but not eating anymore due to the amount of sodium. I don't have high blood pressure but still is too much.
Enjoy Adelaide! Have a meat pie for us (:
Lived there for 18 months last century - Adelaide was a welcome change after growing up in Sydney. Winter is my biggest issue with anything down south, and Adelaide has some absolutely hideous days in Summer - it seems that you caught it at it's best. Thanks for exploring a different part of Oz to the usual SYD-MEL tango.
We love exploring off the beaten path and are so glad we did with Adelaide 😁
Adelaide is almost due West of Sydney, which is slightly South of Perth. The weather is excellent, except for some very hot Summer days. Many people are glad to escape the humidity of Sydney and Brisbane and the miserable Winter of Melbourne.
@@geoffoconnor3487 to each their own. I found Adelaide colder than Sydney just as I found Toowoomba to be a lot colder than Brisbane. Nothing like a mountain range to lower temps ;)
@@arthurwatts1680 There are mountains near Sydney, but only low hills anywhere near Adelaide.
@@geoffoconnor3487 I'm referring to Toowoomba but in Adelaide's case, its proximity to the Great Southern Ocean. Nothing between the SA coast and Antarctica.
Great review, you're welcome back to our beautiful city any time! Vegemite.....yep try with hot toast and butter...it's a great combo!
Great job you two
You missed Adelaide Zoo! It has all sorts of Australian Wildlife and plants!
The Adelaide Christmas Pageant is one of the oldest in the world starting in 1933.
Adelaide Oval would have been lit up rainbow for the Feast Festival (the local Pride festival we have in November).
Thanks for this great highlights of Adelaide video.
My home town!! I live about 15 mins from the McLaren Vale wine region (and then 15 mins from the city!) Best place in the world 🥰
I love the Amazon water pavilion, the acoustics in there are so great :)
Yes I do like this 😂 I would make 4 peices of toast with butter that melts before you can open the jar. And just throw it on haha. I would also put cheese on top
Love this video
The pageant is awesome, you should do some more research on it.
Thank you two beautiful humans for visiting our city! This was such a sweet and uplifting look at the CBD. There's a lot to do in the hills, south of the city and beaches, as well as trips down the peninsula. Sorry you didn't like Vegemite! 😅 Enjoy your travels
You're so kind. Thanks for watching!
I've lived in Bundy (Bundaberg) my whole life. Seems crazy the places you can travel to, that have the drink made in our home town, including Bundaberg rum. Bundy brewed drinks have just built a massive factory on the edge of town. I'm over 60 and for as long as I remember, we have had the best soft drinks, Salters being the company i remember as a kid.
I'm glad you got to try the meat pie and lamington as well👍
So cool, we loved it all.
Glad you enjoyed your stay.
Awesome video guys
Fun to see a video about where i live..in the 70's we could drive & park in Rundle Mall..was called Rundle Street
Very cool, we definitely love being able to walk around there now.
As an Adeladian who has lived interstate, I wouldn't live anywhere else. Your video was great, but I hope you get to return because you really only scratched the surface of what Adelaide has to offer all year round.
Looking Good.X
Hi! Vegemite is an acquired taste. I like it best with cheese in a toasted sandwich. :) Thanks for the good review! :)
Love to see my city get some love!
Think of Vegemite as a butter seasoning. It goes on warm buttery toast 😅 you flavour the butter with it basically
The trick with Vegemite is you need to have it 50/50 with butter or margarine…..! (Not straight)
as someone whos grown up all around australia i love seeing some love sent to SA :))
Shout out!!
I love the beef noodle soup from dumpling king. The Korean restaurant called Mandoo(dumplings) has the best dumplings ever. It’s on Bank st near the tram station outside of the Adelaide metro station
I've lived in Adelaide all my life and I've never heard of a "20 min" city. Our historic and protected surrounding parklands were designed for city defence (and the 5 squares were for armoury positions).
The Markets are the best. I wish you got to try a pie floater.
We were looking for one but no one had it? Do you know any places you recommend?
@AnywhereGoes Sadly, none of the Pie Carts remain but you can still get pie floaters at Cafe De Vili's - which is an Adelaide icon in itself. It's open 24 hours.
I love how you say Adelaide. Adelaide is a hidden gem and one of the beautiful cities in Australia. I love Adelaide and can’t imagine living anywhere else. I think lamingtons are a South Australian cake and you need to have Vegemite with lots of butter. I don’t like Vegemite though as it’s very salty.
Lamingtons originated in Queensland (so do Bundaberg drinks), but New Zealand tries to lay claim to them too somehow.
Ahhh just found this lovely look at my hometown, sadly you didn't make to to the Himeji Japanese Garden, Adelaide is sister city to Himeji and we have a small garden with waterfalls, a zen stone garden, and other little Japanese outdoorsy things.
I wish we knew that earlier. Himeji is gorgeous and that would've been awesome!
6:50 Samples at Haighs are great! I recently got two handfuls of samples on entry and didn’t have a free hand to shop, so just left with my bootie 😂
Awesome.
what a lovely canuck couple. PLEASE come visit us again. Thank you
