Adelaide is a cosmopolitan city of parks and gardens, known for its Mediterranean climate, its Public Art and the splendour of its historical architecture. As the capital of South Australia, it is the state's centre of government, commerce and business, arts, culture and education.

The city's economy is founded on manufacturing, defence industries, exports and related service industries. Food and wine make up an enjoyable and interesting part of this picture in a multicultural city whose population includes English, Scots, Italian, Vietnamese, Greek and Chinese.

Adelaide is situated between the Gulf of St Lawrence and the Mount Lofty Ranges. It's twenty kilomteres from coast to foothills and the city sprawls 90 kilometres from northernmost suburbs to southernmost.

With a population of over 1.1 million residents, the city is Australia's fifth largest, though its population is growing more slowly than the rest of the country. Over half of this population identifies as Christian and Adelaide has earned the nick name "City of Churches".

The city's climate is ideal for outdoor activities like the beaches, bicycling around the city, golfing, walking or just lazing about in the parks on a beautiful day. You'll feel welcome, relaxed and right at home right here.
