things i love about adelaide
2024-10-29 tags: life 
i may complain about south australia a lot, but it's actually a pretty nice place.
- The beaches. I really like Hallett Cove.
- Mount Lofty Botanic Garden and Morialta Conservation Park, for a beautiful, scenic walk.
- The Adelaide Fringe, the world’s second largest arts festival.
- Further south-east: the Coorong River (see images) and the caves of Naracoorte National Park. It’s a long drive, but worth it.
- The Mortlock Wing of South Australia’s State Library.
- Walking around the CBD, through buildings and warehouses, exploring the many exhibits of Illuminate Adelaide
- Home of acclaimed indie game Hollow Knight’s developers!
- The random sculptures which give Rundle Mall its personality (the Malls Balls [sic], the giant pigeon, and the bronze pigs™️)
- Standing on the bridge over the Torrens River at Elder Park at sunset.
- Hahndorf during autumn.
- The Nan Hai Pu Tuo temple; a very serene Buddhist temple in Sellicks Hill which overlooks the coast.
