When somebody refers to a place as a river, what naturally comes into mind is that huge, fresh body of water that gorges into soil and rocks. But if what you will be referring to Adelaide River in Australia, you better think of something else. Adelaide River is actually a residential suburb in the country's Northern Territory.
