Guest cbr1100XX Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Hi All Adelaidians We are coming down to Adelaide from Sydney ( ok its across technically) for a long weekend (Wife, Daughter (11) and myself) in early Sept. I would like to know what the unmissable spots are and how we can pack as much into to 3 days as absolutely possible. I'm hoping to hire a car so we can travel a little, and would love to see penguins if they are still around, that German town (for some reason my wife wants this), the Barossa Valley (unless its a 2 day drive) and possibly Kangaroo Island (saw it on the news at Christmas). Any thoughts, suggestions or tips will be greatly appreciated Muchas gracias cbr1100xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pinhead Posted August 14, 2008 Share Posted August 14, 2008 Kangeroo Island is well worth the visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest9973 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Certainly have a trip to the wine growing regions. The Barossa up north ( which I think is over rated). Or Mclaren Vale - lovely place and near the beaches as well.:notworthy: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest moonraker1961 Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Depending what your interests are,Victor Harbour/Granite Island,Middleton Beach,Barossa Valley,Hahndorf (good for a stroll and touristy)the city....Rundle Mall (main shopping)walk along the Torrens river which is adjacent to city,Glenelg Beach (met beach).Clare is a nice place but maybe abit too far north to travel within the time frame you have.

Guest kdal Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 Hi, We went to the German Town and they have the best Pie Shop there ever - so don't miss it !! Swimming with the Dolphins at Glenelg with Temptation Sailing was also a lovely experience, infact just walking along the beach at Glenelg is lovely. Enjoy your trip Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lazy Cow Posted August 15, 2008 Share Posted August 15, 2008 I don't want to seem stupid :wideeyed: but are you intending to do all those things in one weekend? Unless it's a really long weekend, I would suggest that popping over to Kangaroo Island isn't worth the time (and sea-sickness!) unless it's for a few days at least as there is heaps to see. Plus it might still be a bit chilly in September. Perhaps you could to take in the Barrossa, then Lobethal and that area, then down to Victor, Middleton (you never know there might be a stray whale left there!), Granite etc to see the penguins. Whatever you do, please don't forget to check out our pink-speedo, silver-jacketed indigenous friend....he's famous you know! Whatever you do, I'm sure you'll have a great time here. There's plenty to do and see. Have fun! :wubclub: LC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest TraceyB68 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Thanks for that x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Guest9973 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 No worries:cool: I must admit that Hahndorf has gone fairly tacky and "touristy" now - but not a bad place to call for a beer when touring the hills. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
