Go to the Grace Emily.

Adelaide Markets.

Get fucked up on cheap wine in China town.

Drive 45 minutes south and tour Mclaren Vale for awesome wines.


feralmedia  said about 5 years ago:

There's a pretty decent store on the outskirts of Kensington (?) called something Flamingo... Señor Flamingo maybe? I can't remember, but somebody from Adelaide could probably tell you. Ollie Graham runs it.


dandan  said about 5 years ago:

dandan  said about 5 years ago:

i want to take my morris minor and have a picnic somewhere too, cool

i was going to go to adelaide this weekend and see leader cheetah.
then got 400$ phonebill and alas. not happning.


dandan  said about 5 years ago:

i had a $800 phone bill for 2 months from 3, i hate them. their plans are terrible. i feel your pain


selected works  said about 5 years ago:

The Grace is great, but don't expect there to be no smoke - everyone smokes indoors there.

Get out and head to McClaren Value or the Barossa. Buy up big and profit.

Head to Morialta (20 min drive) for a pretty nice walk/picnic/snake-bite.


bestunbeatenbrother  said about 5 years ago:

hey dandan,
are you kids all driving over (in the morris)? we'll take you up to the hills for a picnic - ange will undoubtedly take you op/vintage shopping to hype&seek and mint vintage.

There's one on Pulteney Street, just near the end of Rundle Mall (turn right at the end of the Mall, you'll see it). Opposite Clarity Records. It's not old style, but it is an army disposal place.

Good night for the Wheaty, Grace or Exeter.

Bertram  said about 6 months ago:

Shit yeah, now Im getting excited bout Adelaide!!


Velodrone  said about 6 months ago:

Whoops. I assumed Fowlers.


SnoopDoug  said about 6 months ago:

Should have read this thread before my recent SA holiday.

spent a night on Hindly st - few dodgy cunce around
walked to gouger st - got some nice food, but first pub was shit
Walked to Crown and Septre - closed
walked to Wright St hotel - not too bad
walked to jade monkey/two ships - closed
spent a night in Glenelg - shithole
few drinks at Holdfast Hotel. Sounded like maybe it was once good but got redeveloped and had the atmosphere sucked out of it

Apart from that, had a great time - although a little more research on what's good in Radelaide/where to go might have been a good idea.


LeRayonVert  said about 6 months ago:

Good stuff at the Metro all weekend
- Psy Ants, Big Richard Insect, No Action, Shop Girls on Thu
- Nun, Rule of Thirds, Isomer on Friday
- Avant Gardeners, Spooks (and someone else?) on Saturday
- myself & Melvo playing records on Sunday arvo (and some gig later on as well)


melvo666  said about 6 months ago:

oh, yeah!
sunday!!!


melvo666  said about 6 months ago:

Dental Jams are the other mob on the saturday.


LeRayonVert  said about 6 months ago:

Don't worry, I'll be sure to remind you again at the AG show on Saturday!


Bertram  said about 6 months ago:

Best beach for surf?
and for swimming?


Velodrone  said about 6 months ago:

Anywhere south from Christies Beach will have waves, albeit small.

The good stuff is further south at Victor Harbor, etc.

Swimming... pretty much from Largs North to Silver Sands can be swimming beaches.


Bertram  said about 6 months ago:
