We finally arrived in Adelaide after our two days driving adventure. We spent the evening at the Brighton Beach south of the city centre to relax and watched the sunset on the beach of the camping site. After having a refreshing shower the next day, we headed to the centre of Adelaide via Metro in order to explore Adelaide. Soon we realized that it was definitely no failure to cut down the planned two days to only one because of the car breakdown. Adelaide has approximately three “sights”: a long street with shops and – for Australians – “old” buildings, a market and the botanic garden. Not to forget, Adelaide definitely won the price for having the ugliest Christmas tree we’ve ever seen! If you have a look on the pictures you will recognize that even the quite beautiful Victoria square lost his character because of the tree.
After around 3 hours of „sightseeing“, we really saw everything and had even enough time left to go to the visitor centre getting all the maps and brochures we needed for the Great Ocean Road. Before we went back on the road, we relaxed in the really beautiful botanic garden. Our plan was the following: before driving the Great Ocean Road, we wanted to visit the Grampians National Park.
