By Pippa No joke, really. It’s a beach. In the city. A lovely place, too. It had a place to play volleyball, a ping pong table, peddle boats and more! It was fun riding the peddle boats, but still a bit of a work out. There are some booths that sell drinks and food if …
The beaches of Adelaide
By Rachel The outer edges of metropolitan Adelaide to the south and west have lovely sandy beaches and I had grand ideas of us visiting each one before we settled on our 'favourite' - and before I did a post on the Adelaide beaches. Well I think I might be dreaming. To date I have …
Adelaide update
By Neil I’m sitting on the balcony of our lovely apartment, overlooking the northeast end of downtown Adelaide (although here it is called the Central Business District or CBD for short) looking at the old Royal Adelaide Hospital and marveling at the sight. Well, that’s not quite true. The part of the hospital …
La vie en Adélaïde
Par Pippa Mes journées commencent souvent comme sa : je me lève, je mange, je nage, je joue ma flute, je vais à la bibliothèque et je fais des math. Excitent, non? Non, ce n’ait pas. Mais quand j’ai fini à la bibliothèque la journée commence! Souvent, on revient à Rundle Mall pour aller achetée de …
Cricket at the Oval
By Rowan Yesterday, we went to watch some cricket at the Adelaide. It was packed with people and full of delicious smelling food and coffee. I went there expecting it to be super fun and interesting. And it is, provided that you are patient. Cricket isn't, in my opinion, the most interesting of games but …
Adelaide’s use of built Heritage
By Neil I must confess that I’m a bit of a heritage geek, with an especial love for built heritage. I can’t really explain it, but I have always loved old buildings; the architecture, the texture of materials used, the smell and the stories they can tell, or you imagine. I was fortunate as …
The Adelaide Horse Trials
By Rachel I still think it's fascinating how the centre of Adelaide is surrounded by parkland and am amazed by the events that can take place in the midst of the city because of it. Case in point, last weekend the Adelaide Horse Trials happened here, three days of dressage, show jumping, and cross country. …
The Adelaide Zoo
By Pippa A couple days ago, my family and I went to the zoo. Practically every single animal was new to me. When we had figured out which way we wanted to go, and which animals to see first, we passed a hippo habitat that did not have a hippo in it (I don’t know …
The Christmas parade
By Rowan Actually, it’s officially called the Christmas Pageant. Why? Great question. I have no clue why it’s called that. Anyhow, It’s an hour and a half long parade full of over-the-top floats. They were actually kinda cool, albeit a bit cringy. It was really weird to see all of these floats that people …
Un jeu de field hockey
par Pippa Hier, moi et ma famille ont aller à un jeu de field hockey. C’était les filles qui jouais, les Hockeyroo’s (l'équipe nationale d'Australie) contre Japon. On n’avait jamais regardé cette jeu avant celui-là, alors je n’avais aucune idée c’était quoi les règles. Mais qui cens fous? C’était super amusant à regarder! Tous se …
