Waypoint introductions and full write-ups
1. Adelaide
Adelaide is one of the neatest cities in Australia, laid out in 1837 by Colonel William Light on a grid of wide streets, squares and a ring of parklands that still wraps the centre like a green belt. Unlike most Australian colonies, South Australia was settled by free emigrants rather than convicts, and the city has long had a reputation for being quietly civilised, with good food, many festivals, and a relaxed pace. The Torrens river runs through the centre, the Adelaide Hills rise to the east, and the Gulf St Vincent lies to the west.
