|  | | | | | Adelaide City | | | | The Festival City | | | | Capital of South Australia, the Wine State! | | What a Brilliant Blend! | | Adelaide is rich in arts and cultural experiences. The history and art of South Australia is on display along Adelaide’s “Cultural Boulevard”, North Terrace, where the State library, Museum, Art Gallery and migration museum have pride of place: this is a perfect starting point for any cultural experience in South Australia. North Terrace is also home to Adelaide University - a great seat of learning for past an present scholars. | | | | Every two years, the entire city becomes a stage for the Adelaide Festival of the Arts and its quirky sister the Adelaide Fringe. It is a four-week party-festival that is considered to be among the world’s best art festivals, along with Edinburgh and Avingnon.
Because of the Mediterranean climate, South Australians like to take their art outdoors. Visitors can experience Opera in the Park, Symphony Under the Stars and a summer season of movies - picnic fashion - on the lawns of the Botanical Gardens. | | | | Long before South Australia was settled by Europeans, it was the homeland of several Aboriginal cultural groups who spoke more than 50 languages. Each group lived a distinct lifestyle, dictated by the environment and the availability of food and water.
The perfect introduction to the culture and history of Aboriginal people can be found in Adelaide. The Aboriginal Cultures Gallery at the South Australian Museum  houses the most extensive collection of Aboriginal materials in the world. Guided tours through the exhibits are available. At Tandanya, the National Aboriginal Cultural Institute, visitors can learn the underlying spiritual significance of Aboriginal art in its different forms and styles, be entertained by a didgeridoo performance and hear the Dreaming story of Tarnda, the Red Kangaroo. We will tailor make a tour for your group that includes all of this unique culture, history and heritage.
