• The Adelaide City Council has produced seven
  walking trails which encourage both residents and
  visitors to explore the wonders of the City. Each
  of these self-guided walks has its own handy
  brochure which contains historical and cultural
  information. 
• The seven walks have been designed to capture
  some of the great sites and stories of Adelaide.
  Three historic walks commence in beautiful
  Wellington Square North Adelaide, with another
  two embracing the splendour of lower North
  Adelaide.
• A separate walk highlights the transformation of
  the paddocks in the South Park Lands into the
  manicured and picturesque Veale Gardens of today.
  Finally a cultural walking trail reveals the
  stories behind some of the magnificent statues
  and monuments found along North Terrace and in
  nearby Park Lands.

  accommodation on request its set route stops at
  Victoria Square and North Terrace, as well as the
  bus station. A taxi costs around 15 to either
  the city or the beachside suburb of Glenelg, 11km
  from the centre. Arriving by train at the Keswick
  Interstate Terminal, you can also take the
  airport bus, which stops here en route (3 to
  city or airport), or walk to the suburban
  platform and catch a train into Adelaide Train
  Station on North Terrace. Taxis to the city from
  the Interstate Terminal charge about 8.

South Australia - Tourism

• South Australia's population of 1.4 million live
  mostly along the coast and in the capital city,
  Adelaide.
• With its Mediterranean climate, fine food and
  wines, numerous festivals and events, kilometres
  of clean, sandy beaches and more sunshine than is
  decently allowed, South Australia is a great
  holiday destination.
• South Australia boasts most of the world's opals.
  Coober Pedy, the main opal mining town, produces
  90 per cent of Australia's opals.

23
South Australia - Tourism

• Adelaide
• Adelaide is set on a narrow coastal plain between
  between the rolling hills of the Mt Lofty Ranges
  and the blue waters of Gulf St Vincent.
• Surrounded by parkland, Adelaide combines the
  vitality of a large modern city with an easygoing
  Australian lifestyle.
• The city centre is completely surrounded by
  parklands, with beautiful flower-beds,
  playgrounds and sportsfields. There are barbecues
  with tables and chairs under shady trees.
• The beautiful formal Botanic Gardens have 16
  hectares of Australian and imported plants with
  lakes where children can feed ducks and swans.

24
South Australia - Tourism

• Wine regions
• South Australia provides about 65 per cent of the
  wines and 83 per cent of the brandy made in
  Australia. Kilometres of vineyards stretch over
  valleys, plains and hillsides of the southern and
  eastern regions of the state.
• The state has six distinct grape growing regions
  the Barossa Valley, the Fleurieu Peninsula, the
  Murray River, the Clare Valley, the Adelaide
  Hills and the Coonawarra area of the south-east.
• The vineyards of the Clare Valley are about 130
  kilometres north of Adelaide, and produce fine,
  light table wines.

25
South Australia - Tourism

• Flinders Ranges
• The Flinders Ranges are part of a mountain chain
  which extends almost 800 kilometres from its
  seaward end at Gulf St Vincent.
• There is something unique in the contrast of the
  dry, stony land and the richly lines rock faces -
  the characteristics of a desert range - with the
  rich vegetation of the river red gums. In spring,
  after rain, the display of wildflowers is
  breathtaking, carpeting the whole region with
  masses of reds, pinks, yellows, purples and
  white. The wildflowers, together with the natural
  beauty of the rock shapes, pools and caves and
  twisted trees which abound in the Flinders
  Ranges, make them a favourite haunt of
  photographers and artists.
• The best known feature of the Flinders Ranges is
  the Wilpena Pound, an immense elevated basin
  covering about 50 square kilometres and encircles
  by sheer cliffs which are set in a foundation of
  purple shale and rise through red stone to
  white-topped peaks. Within the pound are low,
  rounded hills and folded ridges, grasslands and
  pine-clad slopes which run down to gums along
  Wilpena Creek.
• There is a well organised resort at Wilpena,
  catering for levels of accommodation from camping
  to modern motel.

26
Adelaide Weather Chart Average temperature
(Celcius).

• Adelaide is free from sleet and snow, and even
  during the wettest mid-year winter months, an
  overcoat and umbrella, is the only protection you
  will need from the elements. In fact, Adelaide's
  weather is refreshingly mild with a cool 15
  degrees Celsius (59F) average in July, mid
  winter, and a comfortable 29 degrees C (84F)
  average over the summer period.

27
South Australia

• Did You Know That... some of the first European
  visitors to South Australia were Dutchmen Peter
  Nuyts and Francois Thijssen in 1627.
• That Kangaroo Island was settled long before the
  official proclamation of South Australia by
  Captain John Hindmarsh.
• That many students are convinced that Matthew
  Flinders, after charting the coast of South
  Australia in 1802, circumcised Australia !!!!
• Still the Chairman of the Colonization Commission
  for South Australia, Robert Torrens, said in 1835
  that South Australia was washed by the waters of
  the Pacific.
• This same Chairman was very much in favour of the
  establishment of South Australia. Living there he
  said was far preferable to rambling over the back
  settlements of America or mixing with Catholics
  in the bleak unhealthy wilds of Canada or to
  enduring the depraved society of New South Wales.

28
South Australia

• Torrens hoped that South Australia would become
  the great rice and wool growing country of the
  world and that its climate would make it possible
  to produce opium for the China trade. Last but
  not least he predicted that New South Wales would
  lose its supremacy and probably become a
  provincial appendage to South Australia.
• That South Australia was not settled by convicts
  but that is was a convict, E.G. Wakefield, whose
  efforts finally led to the birth of South
  Australia.
• That The Buffalo, which brought the first
  Governor and free settlers to South Australia,
  was later used to transport Canadian convicts to
  New South Wales and Tasmania.
• That the first Lutheran College and Seminary in
  the Southern Hemisphere was opened at Lobethal in
  the Adelaide Hills in 1845.
• That South Australia was the first to appoint an
  Archivist. In 1919 George Henry Pitt was
  appointed to that position by the South
  Australian Public Library Board.

29
Kangaroo Island

• Captain Matthew Flinders, and his hungry crew
  members, discovered Kangaroo Island on 2 March
  1802. They found no inhabitants but were
  compensated for this by the discovery of what
  they needed most of all - fresh food! In his
  journal Flinders recorded, 'the whole ship's
  company was employed this afternoon in the
  skinning and cleaning of kangaroos. After four
  months' privation they stewed half a
  hundredweight of heads, forequarters and tails
  down into soup for dinner, on this and the
  succeeding days, and as much steak given,
  moreover to both officers and men as they could
  consume by day and night. In gratitude for so
  seasonable a supply, I named this south land
  KANGAROO ISLAND'.

30
Kangaroo Island
The human history of the island, which started
many thousands of years ago, is rich and
colourful. At the same time it is also full of
suffering, endurance, privation, success,
failure, courage and bravery. Its Aboriginal
occupation ended about five thousand years ago
and was not renewed until the early 1800's when
escaped convicts, from New South Wales and
Tasmania, whalers and sealers kidnapped
Aboriginal women from the mainland and forced
them to live with them on the island.
31
Map of Kangaroo Island
32
Kangaroo Island

• No sooner had Flinders left the island or it was
  visited, circumnavigated and mapped, by the
  French Captain Nicholas Baudin who named it
  L'Isle Decres. Kangaroo Island only just escaped
  being a French colony!! A year later a group of
  American sealers, under command of Captain
  Pemberton, arrived aboard the brig Union and
  established themselves at what is now known as
  American River. They stayed for four months to
  build their new ship and kill as many seals, for
  their skins, as possible. The sailors sawed
  timber from the local pine trees near Pelican
  Lagoon and carried out the first ship building
  enterprise in South Australia. The first official
  settler at American River was Frank Potts. This
  boat builder arrived in 1842 but eventually
  returned to the mainland and established
  vineyards at Langhorne Creek.

33
Kangaroo Island

• When the Americans left in their 35 ton schooner
  Independence, Kangaroo Island remained a
  favourite hunting ground for this commodity and
  between 1806 and 1836 it was not only occupied by
  whalers and sealers for short periods but also
  permanently by runaway convicts, ship deserters,
  farmers and other settlers. They made their
  living by hunting, fishing, skin and salt trading
  and even growing some vegetables. A report of
  1819 described the islanders as 'complete
  savages, living in bark huts, clothed in kangaroo
  skins and smelling like foxes'.
• A similar report was written by Major Lockyer in
  1827. He wrote, 'The lawless manner in which
  these sealing gangs are ranging about requires
  some immediate measures to control them. From
  what I have learnt and witnessed, they are a
  complete set of pirates going from island to
  island along the southern coast, making
  occasional descents on the mainland and carrying
  off by force females. The great scene of villainy
  is at Kangaroo Island, where, to use the terms of
  one of them, a great number of graves are to be
  seen, and where some desperate characters are,
  many of them runaways from Sydney and Van
  Dieman's Land'.

34
Kangaroo Island

• For many years the island's white beaches were
  stained with the blood of tens of thousands of
  whales, seals, kangaroos, wallabies and possums.
  For a few years there was a whaling station at
  Point Tinline. Both the seals and kangaroos were
  almost hunted to extinction. During Captain
  George Sutherland's short stay on the island in
  1819, more than 4500 seals and 1500 kangaroos
  were killed for their skins or meat. As late as
  the 1950s seals were killed for shark bait. The
  Kangaroo Island Emu was wiped out by the 1830s.
• In his report to the South Australian Company
  Sutherland wrote, 'This large island containing
  the finest pastures, with timber suited for ship
  and house building, will afford secure
  protection'. It was probably, among the whaling
  and sealing prospects, a contributory factor in
  the settlement of the island by the company.

35
Kangaroo Island

• The Rapid
• When Colonel William Light arrived on the brig
  Rapid in August 1836, Dr John Woodforde recorded
  in his diary 'There must have been a great
  mortality among the kangaroos on this Isle since
  Flinder's time or he must have mistaken the
  wallaby for them as we have not seen one and the
  sealers say there are none'.
• One of the island's most famous and colourful
  charactors was Henry Wallen, better known as 'The
  Governor'. He settled near Cygnet River in 1816
  and was the first farmer in South Australia to
  raise a crop. With the arrival of Captain Morgan
  on the barque Duke of York on 27 July 1836 at
  Kingscote, Wallen's governorship came to an end.
  It was replaced by Samuel Stephens, manager of
  the South Australian Company.
• Woodforde reported that Wallen had a farm about
  thirteen kilometres up the river which 'does him
  great credit as he has several acres of
  flourishing wheat and most of the English
  vegetables. He has also two native wives'.

36
Kangaroo Island

• The South Australian Company had its money
  printedbefore arriving on Kangaroo Island.
• When the Duke of York anchored at Nepean Bay, the
  Beare family of six where among its migrants.
  Within hours of arrival, Lucy Beare gave birth to
  a girl. Sadly she died after only two days. When
  Lucy had another daughter a year later, the
  daughter survived but Lucy died. The first
  settlement at Reeves Point lasted for nearly four
  years when it was abandoned by the South
  Australian Company in favour of Adelaide. However
  Kingscote survived, as did one of the Mulberry
  trees planted in 1836 in the Company's garden.
• The first school in South Australia was
  established on Kangoroo Island by Captain Bromley
  who lived on the island until 19 May 1839. During
  this time he instructed some twenty children
  under a tree until he had built a hut for them.
  When appointed Protector of Aborigines he moved
  to the mainland. Among Kangaroo Island's earliest
  industries, apart from the whaling and sealing,
  were shipbuilding, salt harvesting, quarrying and
  the production of eucalyptus oil.

37
Kangaroo Island

• The first of many shipwrecks, after official
  occupation of the island, was at Hog Bay Reef
  where the locally built William sank in 1847. The
  first lighthouse in South Australia, at Cape
  Willoughby, started operating in 1852. This was
  followed in 1858 by one at Cape Borda, 155 metres
  above sea level and manually operated until 1989.
  The Lighthouse at Cape Du Couedic was not started
  until 1909. The materials for the building, and
  later the goods for the keepers, were supplied
  from nearby Weirs Cove. At first they were
  carried 90 metres up the cliffs until 1907 when a
  flying fox was used.
• Since the sinking of the William, more than fifty
  shipwrecks have been recorded around the island.
  The largest was the 5,800 ton Portland Maru in
  1935. It began taking water near Cape Du Couedic
  before finally sinking at Cape Torrens.

Victor Harbour

• Named in 1838 by Governor Gawler after HMS
  Victor, commanded by Captain Richard Crozier, who
  surveyed the area in 1837. That same year a
  whaling station was established on Granite
  Island, managed by Captain Blenkinsopp. The first
  ship to load at Victor Harbor was the Goshawk
  taking on a cargo of whale oil in 1838. Although
  one of the very first harbours in South
  Australia, the town did not come into being until
  1863 when it was surveyed as a private town by
  L.J. Hyndman.

Map of Victor Harbor
42
Victor Harbour

• During the early days of settlement, Victor
  Harbour was considered as the site for the
  colony's capital by several of its influential
  citizens, including Governor Hindmarsh. As an ex
  navy man Hindmarsh was anxious that sailors
  should report any parts of the coastline which
  might offer protection for ships.
• In 1838 it was reported that the land was
  extremely rich, and the site most picturesque,
  and well calculated for a town. It was bounded by
  two rivers from seventeen to thirty metres wide,
  and navigable for boats three to five kilometres.
  We consider this site the most eligible that we
  have seen so far in the colony for the first
  town. However six months later another report
  stated that the plan for a proposed town was
  utterly useless and absurd.

43
Victor Harbour

• The first thirty-four settlers arrived with the
  Rev Ridgeway W. Newland in 1839 and settled at
  Yelki, near the Bluff. Newland was regarded as a
  man of good standing and character. Life was very
  hard for these early pioneers and they had to
  overcome many problems. They were forced to live
  in tents for nearly two years before the first
  houses were built. Land for farming, covered with
  giant blue gums, was hard to clear. As early as
  1840 Lutheran Missionary H. Meyer had established
  a school for the local Aborigines, to give them
  some European Education'. He was later
  transferred to Bethany in the Barossa Valley.

44
Victor Harbour

• During the early 1840s, Newland cultivated his
  land with the help of his family and some
  Aborigines. They ploughed, sowed and reaped and
  had made enough progress for the Adelaide
  Observer to conclude that the Aboriginal race was
  capable of a high degree of civilised life.
• From its early days the town had close
  connections with Goolwa and the River Murray.
  After 1850 river steamers carried wool and wheat
  up and down the river to Goolwa but could not
  make it through the river mouth to the sea.
  Instead goods had to be transported to the
  nearest sea port which was Victor Harbor.

45
Victor Harbour

• Port facilities created employment with many
  workers needed to load and unload the cargo from
  ships, trains or bullock wagons. Once there was a
  small community other services followed rapidly.
  Soon there were the usual churches, hotel,
  school, post office and police station. In August
  1863 two bridges, one over the Hindmarsh and the
  other across the Inman River, were opened making
  it much easier for people to visit the town.

During that year several stone houses were built
and a year later a telegraph station and large
railway sheds to cater for the traffic on the
original horse drawn railway. With increasing
traffic a new jetty and a breakwater were built
but when the town of Morgan was connected by rail
to Adelaide in 1880, Victor Harbor ceased to be a
port.
46
Victor Harbour

• Even so, Victor Harbor continued to grow despite
  the loss of the river trade. With the hinterland
  now well established, farmers and graziers came
  to Victor to buy or sell their goods. When
  connected by rail to Adelaide the town and
  harbour became a tourist attraction which has
  kept on growing to such an extent that today
  Victor Harbor is one of the major tourist
  destinations in South Australia.

Getting Around Adelaide

• An airport bus runs from the airport to city
  hotels and hostels - the bus also calls in at the
  interstate train station. Adelaide has an
  integrated local transport system that includes
  metropolitan buses and trains, as well as the
  tram which operates between the city centre and
  Glenelg, and the O-Bahn busway which runs on
  concrete tracks between the city centre and the
  Tea Tree Plaza shopping centre. The airport is
  8km (5mi) west of the city and is serviced by an
  airport bus. Adelaide is a relatively
  cyclist-friendly city, with good cycling tracks
  and bicycle lanes on many city streets.

48
Getting to Adelaide

• Virtually all visitors to Australia arrive by
  air. The main international airports are Sydney,
  Melbourne and Brisbane, followed by Perth,
  Adelaide, Hobart, Darwin and Cairns. There are
  plenty of connections to Asia, Europe and the
  USA, but Australia's remoteness makes flights
  relatively expensive and long. Australia's
  current international popularity also means that
  many flights are heavily booked. Make plans well
  in advance. Departure tax on international
  flights is US19. This tax is collected by travel
  agents and entered on your airline ticket.

49
Getting to Adelaide

• International flights arrive in Adelaide from all
  over the world, many of them flying directly to
  the city. Australia's two airlines fly into
  Adelaide from every other capital city, although
  you may have to make a stopover if you're coming
  from Brisbane or Sydney - Adelaide is a long way
  from Australia's other capitals, so flying is
  often the best option.
• Bus travel is cheaper than flying, but be
  prepared for a long haul. Services run to all
  major cities - you can go with one of the major
  lines and do the quick-but-dull trip, or take a
  smaller bus and meander around a bit. Buses also
  run to Alice Springs and to regional centres in
  South Australia. Interstate trains run from
  Adelaide to Alice Springs, Perth, Melbourne and
  Sydney.

50
Adelaide Orientation

• Adelaide sits on the eastern shore of Gulf St
  Vincent, in the far south of South Australia. The
  streets of Adelaide's central business district
  follow a grid pattern, which makes it very easy
  for visitors to find their way around. Victoria
  Square sits in the centre of the grid, and the
  main street, King William, runs through it.
  Although not the geographical centre of town,
  Rundle Mall is the shopping centre of the city,
  with the big department stores - Rundle St's
  eastern end has some of the city centre's best
  dining and boutique shopping. North Terrace,
  running parallel to Rundle St, is the city's
  cultural centre, a grand boulevard lined with a
  gallery, museum, state library and university.
  The River Torrens separates the city centre from
  North Adelaide, and a green belt of parkland
  surrounds both areas.
• The Adelaide airport is about 6km (3.7mi) west of
  the city centre, the interstate train terminal is
  just south-west of the city centre in the suburb
  of Keswick, and interstate buses arrive at
  Central, almost smack in the middle of town. Most
  hostels are in the south-eastern corner of the
  city centre Hindley St in the city has mid-range
  options, North Terrace has the top-end hotels.
  Rundle St, Hindley St and North Terrace are the
  main food centres.

51
Activities

• There are several bushwalking clubs in the
  Adelaide area which organise weekend walks in the
  Mt Lofty Ranges. There is good sailing all along
  the Adelaide shoreline of the Gulf of St Vincent.
  Beaches close to the city, such as Seacliff,
  Brighton, Somerton and Glenelg offer excellent
  swimming, though you have to go a litte further
  afield for surfing. There's an artificial reef
  designed for divers off Glenelg beach. You can go
  ice-skating or skiing year-round at the indoor
  rink and slope in Thebarton.

52
Attractions

• South Australian Museum
• This museum, which has a huge whale skeleton in
  the front window, is one of Adelaide's landmarks.
  Although its primarily a natural history museum,
  with the usual array of stuffed, glassy-eyed
  critters, it also has a good collection of
  Aboriginal artefacts, including an Aboriginal
  Dreamtime exhibition. You'll find the museum on
  North Terrace.
• Other museums nearby include the excellent
  Migration Museum, which tells the story of groups
  from over 100 nationalities who've migrated to
  South Australia, and the University's Museum of
  Classical Archaeology, which has a fascinating
  collection of antiquities dating from the third
  millennium BC.

53
Attractions

• Art Gallery of SA
• The free Art Gallery, next to the South
  Australian Museum, contains one of the nation's
  most comprehensive collections of Australian,
  Asian and European art. It boasts the largest
  display of Australian art, including a fine
  selection of paintings by great colonial and
  contemporary Australian artists. There's a
  magnificent collection of South-East Asian
  ceramics, and a lovely display of decorative
  arts.The gallery also has the second-largest
  collection of Rodin sculptures in the world.

54
Attractions

• Festival Centre
• Looking uncannily like a squared-off version of
  the Sydney Opera House, the Festival Centre is
  the home of the Adelaide Festival. Inside, there
  is a variety of performance spaces and galleries,
  and there are free rock concerts in the outside
  amphitheatre on Sundays during summer. One of the
  most pleasant aspects of the Festival Centre is
  its riverside setting people picnic on the grass
  out the front and paddleboats can be hired nearby.

55
Attractions

• Glenelg
• The magnificent white, sandy beach here is the
  most popular in Adelaide, despite the occasional
  rumour of giant white pointer sharks. There's not
  much in the way of surf, but the swimming is
  certainly pleasant. If sand holds no interest for
  you, head for the shooting games, scary rides and
  test-your-luck machines of Glenelg's old-style
  amusement park. Just east of the ferris wheels
  you find the more modern fun of Magic Mountain,
  with its waterslides, mini-golf and arcade games.

56
Attractions

• For the more seriously minded, Glenelg holds a
  number of relics from Adelaide's early days. The
  Old Gum Tree marks the spot where the
  proclamation of South Australia was read in 1836.
  A replica of the HMS Buffalo, the ship which
  brought the first settlers, is moored in
  Glenelg's boat harbour. On board you'll find one
  of the city's best seafood restaurants, and a
  museum telling the story of the ship's voyage
  from England to South Australia. A vintage tram
  runs from the city centre right to Glenelg beach.

57
Off the Beaten Track

• Hahndorf
• The oldest surviving German settlement in
  Australia, Hahndorf, 29km (18mi) south-east of
  Adelaide, is a popular day trip. Settled in 1839
  by Lutherans who left Prussia to escape religious
  persecution, Hahndorf still has an honorary
  burgermeister (mayor). These days it's a major
  tourist attraction, with more stuffed koalas than
  you can shake a eucalyptus leaf at.
• There are many old German-style buildings in
  town. The German Arms Hotel dates from 1839 and
  is one of the best pubs in the Adelaide hills.
  The Hahndorf Academy was established in 1857 and
  houses an art gallery, craft shop and museum,
  with several paintings by Sir Hans Heysen, the
  famous landscape artist who lived in the town for
  many years. If you're keen to indulge in a stein
  or seven, visit the town on Founders Day, held
  over a weekend in March. Buses run to Hahndorf
  from Adelaide several times a day.

58
Off the Beaten Track

• McLaren Vale
• Although the Barossa Valley is the best-known of
  South Australia's winery destinations, McLaren
  Vale is much more accessible from Adelaide. The
  area is particularly well-suited to red wines,
  but a trend towards white wine consumption in the
  tasteful 70s prompted growers to stick in a few
  of the paler grapes. There are around two dozen
  wineries with cellar-door sales in the McLaren
  Vale area and about 50 in the surrounding
  countryside. The first winery was established
  here in 1838, and plenty of plonk-sellers still
  reside in fine old buildings.
• The McLaren Vale Wine Bushing Festival goes on in
  late October, with wine tastings and tours,
  finished off with a grand feast. During the
  festival a bus runs between the wineries, so you
  can tipple to your heart's content without
  worrying about driving. Around three buses a day
  do the 30km (19mi) trip south to McLaren Vale.

Australian Culture

• Australia is a multicultural society. Until WWII,
  Australians were predominantly of British and
  Irish descent, but that has changed dramatically.
  Large immigrations from Greece, Italy,
  Yugoslavia, Lebanon and Turkey followed the war
  and have been supplemented by more recent
  influxes of immigrants from Asia. There are also
  about 230,000 Aborigines and Torres Strait
  Islanders. Many Australians speak Italian, Greek,
  Lebanese, Vietnamese or Turkish as a first
  language. English-speaking Australians are liable
  to use a hotchpotch of indigenous slang and
  shortened words that often makes their speech
  impenetrable.

61
Australian Culture

• Australia has a rich artistic heritage and a
  vibrant contemporary art scene. Aboriginal rock
  carvings and paintings date back at least 30,000
  years. European settlers began to produce
  distinctively Australian art forms towards the
  end of the 19th century. Australia's mid-20th
  century artists were world figures (Sidney Nolan,
  Arthur Boyd, Patrick White) and its modern
  practitioners have excelled in painting (Brett
  Whiteley, Fred Williams), literature (Peter
  Carey, Thomas Keneally), opera (Joan Sutherland),
  film (Peter Weir, Bruce Beresford, George Miller,
  Gillian Armstrong), acting (Mel Gibson, Nicole
  Kidman) comedy (Barry Humphries), dance (Graeme
  Murphy, Paul Mercurio) and popular music (Nick
  Cave, INXS, Midnight Oil, silverchair). Modern
  Aboriginal art has undergone a revival in the
  last decade as Aboriginal artists have explored
  ways to both preserve their ancient values and
  share them with a wider community.

62
Australian Culture

• Sport is the Australian religion and Aussies are
  worldbeaters in cricket, rugby league, rugby
  union, swimming and cycling. Other popular sports
  are basketball, yachting, soccer and Aussie Rules
  - a unique Australian sport, similar to Gaelic
  football. The Olympic Games were held in Sydney
  in 2000, and were declared by IOC head Juan
  Antonio Samaranch the best Games ever.

63
Australian Environment

• Australia is a vast island continent situated
  south of Indonesia and Papua New Guinea between
  the Pacific and Indian oceans. The world's sixth
  largest country, Australia measures some 4000km
  (2500mi) east to west and 3200km (2000mi) north
  to south. Much of the interior of the country is
  flat, barren and extremely sparsely populated.
  The bulk of the population lives on the narrow,
  fertile eastern coastal plain and on the
  south-eastern coast. The continent-long Great
  Dividing Range runs north-south down the eastern
  seaboard, separating the coastal plain from the
  drier inland areas. The Great Barrier Reef lies
  between 50-300km (30-185mi) offshore and extends
  2000km (1240mi) from the Torres Strait to
  Gladstone.

64
Australian Environment

• Australia is blessed with a fascinating mix of
  native flora and fauna. Its distinctive plants
  include the ubiquitous gum tree or eucalypt, of
  which there are some 700 species. Other common
  plants are wattle, banksia, waratahs,
  bottlebrushes, paperbarks and tea trees. Endemic
  animals include the iconic kangaroo, koala and
  emu, and the platypus, echidna, possum, wombat
  and dingo. There are also a number of interesting
  birds, such as parrots, cockatoos and
  kookaburras. Fauna to be wary of include
  Australian spiders (especially the redback and
  funnel-web), snakes (notably the venomous brown,
  tiger, death adder, copperhead and red-bellied
  black varieties) and both salt and freshwater
  crocodiles. There are more than 500 national
  parks, incorporating rainforests, deserts,
  mountain ranges and coastal dunes.

65
Australian Environment

• Australian seasons are the antithesis of those in
  Europe and North America summer starts in
  December, autumn in March, winter in June and
  spring in September. Seasonal variations are not
  extreme and it's rare for temperatures to drop
  below zero on the mainland except in the
  mountains. As you head north, the seasonal
  variations become even less distinct. Darwin, in
  the far north, is in the monsoon belt, where
  there are just two seasons hot and wet, and hot
  and dry.
• The southern states are popular during the summer
  months, but the best time to visit is probably
  the shoulder seasons of spring or autumn when the
  weather in the south is mild, Queensland is still
  warm, the humidity is not too draining in the
  north and there are less flies in the bush.
  Spring in the outback can be spectacular if rains
  encourage wildflowers.

  Mid-range US15-60 Top-end US60 and upwards
• If you're coming from Europe or the USA,
  Australia is going to look pretty cheap. Food, in
  particular, is great value. Accommodation is also
  reasonably priced, and if you're staying in
  hostels or on-site caravans or camping, and
  mostly making your own meals you could
  conceivably get by on about US18 a day. Travel
  will be your biggest expense - distances are
  long, so if you're moving around a bit, eating
  out once or twice a day and staying in low-end
  hotels, budget around US50 a day. If you're only
  coming for a couple of weeks and plan to take a
  few internal flights, you'll be looking at more
  like US100 a day.

68
Money Costs

• You'll have no problems changing foreign
  currencies or cash at almost any bank or exchange
  agent. Travellers cheques generally get a better
  rate than cash. Credit cards are widely accepted
  (and pretty much compulsory if you're going to
  rent a car), and ATMs all over the country accept
  credit and Cirrus cards.
• Tipping is getting a foothold in Australia,
  particularly in cafes and restaurants in the
  bigger cities - 10-15 is the usual. However, you
  won't be looked down upon if you don't tip. Taxi
  drivers are always grateful if you leave the
  change.

Southern Right Wales
The Head of Bight was visited in 1998 by over 100
southern right whales. The whales are usually
present from late May to early October and can be
viewed from the spectacular cliffs. Victor Harbor
is also a favoured spot for the whales and is
usually visited by several whales each season.
77

• The Whale Trail
• The southern right whale trail is a trail of
  interactive signs dotted around the South
  Australian coast. Each sign has a different theme
  and features a "rubbing panel". By placing a
  piece of paper over the panel and rubbing with a
  soft pencil you can collect an image. There are
  ten to collect at the locations shown on the map.
