Day 46 - Adelaide, Australia

World Cruise 2013
February 20, 2013

Today at 10 AM the ship arrived in Adelaide, Australia.  I was on the deck when the ship came into the port of Adelaide.  At the terminal the ship was greeted by the singing of two older men and a woman called “The Old Gum Tree-O” who sang songs from the terminal such as “Waltzing Matilda” etc.  This group would later sing at a BBQ that evening.

Adelaide is the capital of South Australia.  The port of Adelaide where we docked is a 45-minute drive from the center of the city.  The city has many parks and is renowned for its disproportionately large number of churches.   The river Torrens separates the city center from North Adelaide.  Adelaide is bounded by the hills of the Mt. Lofty Range and the ocean and this makes the expansion of the city go in only two directions, which is leading to traffic problems.

At 10:30 AM, I took a tour called “The Best of Adelaide”.  We drove around Adelaide and went to the Cleland Wildlife Park in the Adelaide hills.  The part is huge and covers about 30 acres.  I walked around the park but because they wanted to keep the area natural, many of the animals were not visible because they were under a bush. 

Below are some pictures taken from the ship and my tour.
