The most delicious spot to go out for dinner
is: Paul’s Seafood in the city or in Norwood. We
love fi sh, prawns and chips.
The best spot to go swimming is: Aldinga
Beach, as mum and dad can drive the car down
onto the beach and park next to the water.
The nicest spot for mum and dad to go out
and have a night without the kids is: Rundle
Street located in Adelaide’s East End, as it has
great restaurants and bars. The Greek restaurant
Eros is simply the best.
The best thing to do with brothers and sisters
is: Ride our scooters along the beachfront in
Glenelg, very very fast!
Don’t go home without trying: Cold Rock Ice
Creamery, which is located on the Parade in
Norwood. It’s walking distance from the city or a
short bus ride.

The most delicious spot to go out for dinner
is: Man Friday in Warboys Street, Nelly Bay. It has
the prettiest outdoor area, which is lit by lots of
lovely lights at night.
The coolest place to go with your whole
family is: Down to the beach; Horseshoe Bay is
my favourite spot. They have stinger nets up in
stinger season so it’s still safe for swimming.
I learnt a lot about: Giant clams at the
Aquasearch Lab & Aquarium in Elena Street,
Nelly Bay. I even got to put my hand in the water
and a clam spurted water at mummy, it was
fantastic! Plus there were lots of pretty fi sh to
look at.
I like the local people because: On Melbourne
Cup Day, I got to dance all afternoon with the
locals to a cool band overlooking the beach.
The coolest place to go with your whole
family is: The Beachouse in Glenelg as it has the
best waterslides.

a chat and are super proud of “Maggie Island”.

The best place to visit to see animals is:
