The local guide

Found some downtime between all the events and excitement? Here are some tips on what to see and do in Adelaide and South Australia.

In the Morning

The Migration Museum is a social history museum that deals with the complex  immigration and settlement history of South Australia, and maintains both permanent and rotating collections of work. As it is just a short walk away from Rundle Mall, Adelaide’s prime shopping district, come in to enjoy the guided tours or bring the kids for the ever popular ‘detective trail’.

In the Afternoon

Take a meandering drive into the Adelaide Hills and take a class at the Sticky Rice Cooking School. With a range of courses to choose from and cuisine ranging from Thailand, India, and Vietnam, Sticky Rice will teach you about the cultural context behind the dishes. A fun way to escape the city and see a bit more of SA’s landscape.

In the Evening

Enjoy an incredible variety of Asian cuisines in Adelaide’s Chinatown. This multicultural food district offers Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Malaysian and Indian food experiences. Head over to Moonta Street for Star Dumplings or Gouger Street for Little NNQ, Star of Siam, and Ying Chow.
