Adelaide Throws a Party | Feature
Dinner at sunset at Kangaroo Head on Kangaroo Island.
Our itinerary makes it sound
blissfully easy, a little too easy.
Like most tourists we started our
culinary journey with a leisurely
stroll through South Australia’s
most-visited tourist attraction,
the 150-year-old Central Markets
located in the heart of Adelaide’s
eat street district.
The two-acre open courtyard
is all under one roof clamorous
with cries of 250 food sellers all
eager to share their knowledge
and bounty of delights with
an enthusiastic food loving
audience. But most striking was
the aromas and smells of fresh
fruits and vegetables, seafood,
artisan cheeses, meats and
smallgoods, breads and pastries
that guaranteed to excite the
taste buds. All that marred our
happiness was the fact that
we could not take away the
temptations set before us. For the
lucky locals this marketplace is
an integral part of city life with
seasonal fresh produce reflected
in the regions cuisine.
Wineries in the Adelaide Hills make for great day trips from the city.
