Hi
A group of us are visiting
Adelaide over the weekend and would like to hear from all you seasoned travellers what you would recommend we see / do over 2 days there. 4WDing does not have to feature as a major component but if it is required to visit some nice scenic spots it will add a bit of flavour. We are interested in nature / wildlife, wineries, scenery and anything else of interest.
Thanks in anticipation for all your help !

Okay.......
Barossa Winery areas.
Cleland Wildlife Reserve.
Victor Harbor is 1 hour drive south of
Adelaide, easy spend a day there with the sightseeing & a nice meal.
Historic
Port Adelaide area.
Historic
Glenelg area.
A weekend is tight, I would recommend
Victor Harbor, and there are the Mclaren Vale wineries on the way there.
Forget about the 4 x 4 thing, it ain't gonna happen.

Besides a multitude of other things, like
Yorke Peninsular and beach driving or
Clare Valley wineries on your way to historic
Burra, National motor museum at
Birdwood ( Excellent) do you have to stay in
Adelaide, we will all be camping at
Berri for a great weekend of entertainment by Des Lexic with some EO members and other 4wders and some 4wding as
well?
Where are you from if you are visiting?

While I agree with suggestions like McLaren vale & the Barossa, I suggest that you do some the touristy things like:
* go to Mt Lofty summit to get a visual perspective of
Adelaide & the metroploitan region. While up there there have a picnic lunch in the Mt Lofty Botanical Gardens. Very pretty spot not far from
the summit. Easy locations to get to.
* catch the Tram from the centre of
Adelaide CBD (Victoria Square) to
Glenelg
[about 10 kms west, on the coast] and wander about Jetty Rd precinct, as suggested by others.
* Stroll along North Terrace - museum,
art gallery, Library are all worthwhile.
Have fun
