Itinerary highlights
Adelaide
Set in the middle of a tree-covered plain, resting between the rolling Adelaide Hills in the east to the long, white sandy beaches in the west, Adelaide is quickly becoming the lifestyle capital of Australia.
From the superb architecture and cultural boulevards of North Terrace and North Adelaide, to the pretty parklands surrounding the city, including the Botanic Gardens, there is something for everyone to admire.
Popeye & the River Torrens
The only way to see Adelaide from the River Torrens is on board the Popeye. The first boat was launched in 1935, and for the last 80+ years generations have considered their trips aboard the Popeye on the river between Elder Park and the Adelaide Zoo to be a treasured family outing.
