zoo. Until Wang Wang and Funi – Australia’s
only giant pandas – arrived in 2009 (pan-
demonium!), the major drawcard was the
Southeast Asian rainforest exhibit.
You can take a river cruise to the zoo from
the Festival Centre on Popeye (p722).

(Map p728;www �wineaustralia�com �au; cnr Botanic
&HackneyRds; h9am-5pm) F Check out
the free self-guided, interactive Wine ̈Dis-
covery ̈ Journey exhibition, paired with
tastings of Australian wines (from $10), at
this very sexy wine centre (actually a re-
search facility for the University of Adelaide,
more than a visitor centre per se). You will
gain an insight into the issues winemakers
contend with, and even have your own vir-
tual vintage rated. Free 30-minute tours run
at 11.30am daily. Friday-evening ‘uncorked’
drinks happen at 4.30pm, and here’s a cool
cafe here too.

port novel in these lush city-fringe gardens.

lection and the fabulous steel-and-glass arc
of the Bicentennial ̈Conservatory, which
re-creates a tropical rainforest. Free 1½-hour
guided walks depart from the Schomburgk
Pavilion at 10.30am daily.
