| About Adelaide Adelaide is referred to as the City of Festivals; it is home to the annual Clipsal 500 Adelaide V8 Supercar event, the Tour Down Under (which is the only ProTour bicycle race outside of Europe), the internationally renowned Adelaide Festival of Arts , the flamboyant and fun Adelaide Fringe festival, the pre-eminent world music event WOMADelaide, the Adelaide Cabaret Festival and much, much more.
The University of Adelaide's main campus is right in the middle of the City. As a Conference delegate, you will find yourself centrally located in the heart of Adelaide, close to shopping, restaurants, theatres, the Central Markets and walking and bicycle tracks. There is a wide range of accommodation to choose from within easy walking distance of the Conference.
Adelaide's hospitality and vibrant friendliness will provide a welcome you will remember. If you have the time before or after the Conference, why not experience some of Adelaide's festival events. Adelaide also provides the ideal gateway to the outback! Take a rail trip on The Ghan to Central Australia or Darwin, or visit the World Heritage listed Kangaroo Island, or "go bush", camping amongst the wild and spectacular scenery of the Flinders Ranges. For a little more laid back adventure, a wine tour of some of our famous wine regions staying at quality bed and breakfast accommodation will certainly not disappoint you or your palette, or just go and play a few games of golf. Independent surveys consistently rank Adelaide as one of the world's top 10 cities in which to live with its multicultural, affordable and relaxed lifestyle. Adelaide weather in February
Adelaide in February is warm and sunny and our social events showcase sandy beaches, beautiful scenery, great food, and fabulous wines (Adelaide is in the heart of Australia's key wine and fresh produce regions). Why not catch the tram to the charming beachside suburb of Glenelg on a hot Summer's eve and dine alfresco by the seaside. |
