is situated between the Mt Lofty Ranges to the east and Gulf St Vincent on the
west. The metropolitan area has about 1 million
inhabitants and is situated close to a wide variety of
facilities and attractions. South Australia produces the majority of Australian
wines and there are several wine producing areas within ½-1½ hours drive of
the city centre, including the Barossa Valley, McLaren Vale and
Adelaide Hills regions. Two
outstanding wildlife sanctuaries, Cleland
and Warrawong are also easily accessible from the city.
To the north the rugged Flinders Ranges provide an introduction to the Outback.
A visit to Kangaroo Island, south of Adelaide, gives an opportunity to view the
unique
Australian flora and fauna in an unspoiled environment. Further information about
South Australia and Adelaide and their attractions may be found at

Adelaide's
square-mile city center is surrounded by parklands. The compact nature of the
city means that all facilities are within easy walking distance of hotels. There
is good public transport, including free bus services covering two routes
around the city center.
The climate is Mediterranean in style and the weather in early
December is expected to be pleasant, with mean maxima and minima of about
26ºC and 15ºC, respectively. The chance of rain is slight. See also Images
