tral). Bookings required; minimum age 18.

18 Glenelg
Glenelg, or ‘the Bay’ − the site of SA’s colo-
nial landing − is Adelaide at its most ‘LA’.
Glenelg’s beach faces towards the west,
and as the sun sinks into the sea, the pubs
and bars burgeon with surfies, backpackers
and sun-damaged sexagenarians. The tram
rumbles in from the city, past the Jetty Rd
shopping strip to the alfresco cafes around
Moseley Sq.
Take the tram to Glenelg from the city or
bus 167, 168 or 190.

museum in Glenelg’s 1887 Town Hall build-
ing depicts the social history of Glenelg
from colonisation to today, and addresses
the plight of the local Kaurna people, who
lost both their land and voice. Don’t miss the
relics dredged up from the original pier, and
the spooky old sideshow machines.
18 Port Adelaide
Bogged in boganity for decades, Port Ad-
elaide − 15km northwest of the city − is in
the midst of gentrification, morphing its
warehouses into art spaces and museums,
and its brawl-house pubs into boutique beer
emporia. Things are (slowly) on the up!
Adelaide’s solitary tram line is rumoured
to be extending to Port Adelaide at some
stage. Until then, bus 150 will get you here
from North Tce, or you can take the train.
