Top Destination
4/5 - Good
Verified traveler
Much was closed because of Corona but it is an easy city to see. The indigenous exhibits at the museum are great.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
Cleland wildlife center is a great place to see koalas and kangaroos. It is possible to hold a koala, but you need to be there when it opens, as the day we were there they only allowed 7 "holds".
5/5 - Excellent

I'm a bug city person but have family here so it's nice to visit for a couple of days. Come during Festival season and it's much more exciting.
5/5 - Excellent
Verified traveler
After visiting Sydney and Cairns on this Aussie trip, we like Adelaide the best. It’s a city but still laid back. Tons of free things to explore and enjoy. And the weather is milder.
