City of Adelaide

Few cities anywhere are surrounded so completely, the Adelaide Park Lands forming an almost unbroken ring of green around the CBD, among the largest urban park systems in the world. Cross into North Adelaide and the pace slows further, heritage streets along Melbourne Street lined with grand old buildings from the colony's earliest decades. Government House sits quietly at the city's edge, the oldest Government House still in continuous use anywhere in the country. This city planned for its own breathing room from day one.
