ADELAIDE SOUTH AUSTRALIA welcome to australia’s premiere wine capital

Adelaide, Australia

S OUTH AUSTRALIA   is heaps good

By Lehmo

South Australia isn’t just heaps good. SA is awesome. SA is the best. SA rocks. And for the teenagers out there SA is “sick as”, fo shizzle! SA has the best people, the sexiest women, the number one sporting venue, the newest airport, the coolest arts festival, the most relaxed beaches, the number one flavoured milk, the tastiest treats, the most delicious beer and Australia’s premiere wine districts just there (imagine I am pointing to the Barossa Valley and Mclaren Vale).

Imagine my surprise after two years of living in Sydney when I return to SA, walk into a local deli to buy a tasty Farmer’s Union Iced Coffee packet of Fruchocs combo, and the guy behind the counter says to me: “Hi mate, how are ya?” You having a good day?”

What the hell does this guy want? I call on all my street smart- I duck down low and quickly scout the store for the deli man’s accomplice. He must be trying to distract me. What have they got planned for me? A simple mugging? A bashing with a mugging thrown in? or maybe worse…

…or maybe, just maybe the deli man said “hello” because he was being friendly, because he actually cared, because he wanted a chat, because he wanted to know how was my day.

Welcome to South Australia, a place where people care about you and are interested in you no matter who you are. Unlike many parts of this country where people will offer only disdain unless you boast a billion dollar bank account or four Academy Awards or a failed celebrity relationship or an Olympic gold medal (but that only has relevance within four weeks of the closing ceremony of the games in question). This explains our reputation as a heaps friendly state.

Now let’s get back to that Iced Coffee and those Fruchocs. Sent direct from heaven, these delicious treats are formulated from a recipe book that must have been dropped in the Garden of Eden. I challenge anyone anywhere in the world to present me with a tastier non-alcoholic drink than Farmers union Iced Coffee and a tastier treat than Fruchocs.

Now step aside the rest of Australia because if you even try to challenge SA on the booze front you will only embarrass  yourself and you know it.

Coopers has rightly earned its mantle as the tastiest beer in the land – making every other beer look and taste like tap water.

It has been scientifically proven that people who drink Coopers have more fun, are more attractive, become funnier and make better lovers (a survey sample of one was used by the author during a drinking session but he is pretty sure oodles of corroborative evidence is available. Just check your wedding and 21st videos).

“Adelaide Oval without a doubt” – that quote is from every cricketer who has ever played at the Adelaide Oval when asked the question, “What is your favourite ground in the world?”

It is also the most common answer given when asked any of the following questions:

WHERE is the best hill in the world?

WHICH is better out of MCG, the SCG and the Adelaide Oval?

LES Burdett is the curator at which city’s sporting venue?

WHAT famous landmark is heaps good?

South Australia embraces an event like no other state. If you put on a Fringe or a Festival just watch Adelaide’s focus shift to that event as the population becomes hypnotised by the beat ot the party. This case whether it’s the Fringe, the Arts Festival, the Cabaret Festival, Womad, the Clipsal 500 or the Adelaide Cup.

Remember the Grand Prix? Remember how the city closed down for four days and turned into a cranking non-stop party?

Remember how much fun it was even if you didn’t attend the race? Remember waking up Sunday morning and not being sure if it was Friday ,Saturday or Sunday morning?

In Melbourne you wouldn’t even know the race is on if you weren’t on the track!

Sadly our murderers and those inclined to incest are also the best in the world. They have simply misdirected their innate SA desire to be the best. Being the overall number will always come at a cost!

If I have not yet convinced you how about our beaches, our beautiful woman, Andy Thomas, Cold Chisel, The Hilltop Hoods, the meeting place of Bon Scott and Angus Young, the bloke in the mall ( you know the one), Merrick Watts, The Crows, The Power, Johnny, the Yorke Penisula, Wolf Blass, Mel Gibson, Haighs, the Riverland, Fritz, Stobie poles, Rupert Murdoch, the guy that plays the Casio organ in Rundle Mall, Don Bradman, no convicts, Vilis pies and heaps of other stuff.

Not only is SA heaps good, it’s heaps amazing, it’s heaps great, heaps friendly, heaps fun, heaps shizzlin’, and heaps cool- and if you say a bad word about it, I’ll heap it on ya!

……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………….

I have just returned from a brief sojourn in Adelaide – and have no hesitation in recommending this manageably small South Australian city as the ideal holiday destination for 2009.

The reasons are simple. The city centre is a 15-minute tram ride from the seaside suburb of Glenelg, it is an hour’s drive from the Barossa Valley, one of the prettiest wine-producing areas in the country, and it enjoys mild winters and dry heat in summer, which by my reckoning makes it the perfect climate in this globally warmed 21st century.

In contrast to stressed-out urban life in Britain, Adelaide is city life as it should be -without the overwhelming crowds, the constantly failing public transport systems and the surging crime rates.

Here is a cultured, conservative-with-a-small-c city that is within striking distance of significant natural attractions (the Flinders Ranges, Coorong National Park, Kangaroo Island) and is also cool enough in terms of fashion icons (everyone in Hollywood is wearing RM Williams) and restaurants (the Magill in the city and the Appellation in the Barossa) that it could well be described as the Barcelona of the southern hemisphere.

Check out Mclaren Vale also close to Adelaide and a great wine centre
