Adelaide

The trip to Adelaide was very far, 800 miles or so, and I travelled there on a lonely, forgotten road called the Sturt Highway. On the way to Adelaide, I spent a night in a town called Hay which used to be full of greenery until rabbits and a drought decimated it. The next day I drove through the Barossa valley which was quite different from the barren land that I was driving in. there were lush hills and I stayed in a pleasant town called Tanunda. Then, I finally arrived in Adelaide, which according to the people who live there, is too isolated from the rest of the country to survive. However, I notice that the city seems to being doing quite well, with the England-Australia cricket match being sold out and the museum closed due to a National holiday. I walked through the cities many parks noticing how great they are. I realized that Adelaide is almost the exact opposite from Canberra in that Adelaide is a city with a lot of parks while Canberra is a city in a park. At the end of the day I sat down at a pub in the city and proceeded to have a drink.
