Despite extensive growth over the decades, Adelaide has held on to its intimate small town charm which makes it extremely welcoming to all who choose it as a destination.
Found directly across from Melbourne's best-known landmark Flinders Street Station, Federation Square (which is better known as 'Fed Square') is a melting pot of culture. Here you can visit attractions such as the Australian Centre for the Moving Image (ACMI) and the National Gallery of Victocia (NGV). In this podcast Hostelworld.com's Colm Hanratty speaks to Kim Polkinghorne to find out about this great attraction.

Insider Tip:Go to the Central Market!
I stayed 6female dorm. Because that time was winter.But there wasn't heater. It was cold in the room. Expect this, I definitely stay there again.
Adelaide seems to be kind of a place to hang out befor you go on tours. Close to Kangaroo Island and the Barossa Valley it tends to be just an overnight stop. Has a few nice places, but it's not the place to hang arround longer
Way better then any other city we have been too. It's so great there is lots to see and do and places to go the people are nice... just a really great city!!
Quiet nice city, lots of super friendly people around. Never hard to talk to people. Great food, love the market and the hills. Really nice walks in the Adelaide Hills, easy to get too. Tourist info super helpful. If you are looking for action you might only find it on weekends. But plenty of night life!
Insider Tip:Hiking in the Adelaide Hills (Mt Lofty, Waterfall Gully, Morialta)! Fabulous walks, My Place Backpackers has taken us up there for free. Really awesome with waterfalls and canyon-like gorges!
Sydney is, without a shadow of a doubt, one of the most spectacular cities in the world. Travelling north, the next city is Brisbane which is also worth a visit en route to Cairns. And with a hippified town and commercialised city in between, the trip between Sydney and Brisbane is one of the most varied in Oz.
