The basic situation of Adelaide

Adelaide is a pearl in southern Australia with beautiful scenery and is known as "Little Western Europe". Adelaide is the fourth largest city in Australia, located at the foot of a low and towering mountain, across the winding Torrance River, facing St.? Vincent Bay was built in 1836. The designer of this city is William, the first governor of this city? Colonel Wright, he carefully designed the blueprint of Adelaide and made the development plan. Because of his serious work and high prestige, the later municipal officials built it strictly according to his design blueprint, which made Adelaide gradually develop into a modern city. Today, there is a portrait of Colonel Wright hanging in Adelaide City Hall-a red coat, gold epaulettes and hazel pants. In order to commemorate his achievements, a grand celebration will be held here every year. The citizens drank wine in silver cups and drank to Wright. The whole urban area is about12km away from the port, with a population of about 165438+ 10,000. Although the climate in most parts of South Australia is dry and rainy, there is plenty of rain here and the climate belongs to Mediterranean style. The city was named after Adelaide, the queen of King William IV who ruled England at that time.

Adelaide Gymnasium, Zoo, Botanical Garden and Golf Course are near the torrance River. Big trees and clear water make the environment in this area quieter and fresher. Other parts of the city are also well planned according to the nature of the industry. The industrial area is on the traffic trunk line in the suburbs, and the residential area is also in the suburbs, but because there are many parks, there is little pollution.

Adelaide has a small population, but there are more than 20 museums including state museum, constitution museum, immigration museum, telecommunication museum, police museum and art museum. Except for the National Museum, which is a comprehensive museum, the rest are professional museums, with very simple and systematic contents. Adding up the contents displayed in various museums constitutes a complete history of social development in South Australia. Most of the museums here are rebuilt from ancient buildings in the colonial period, or the former governor's office, or the former state government, or the private houses of dignitaries in previous dynasties. Just from the appearance, there is a quaint, dignified and solemn feeling. The South Australian Museum has the largest and most complete collection of Australian aboriginal art and historical relics, including the cultural relics of Latin Americans in the South Pacific. It also collects paintings, sculptures, pottery, coins and other works of art at home and abroad, among which the works of early European painters are the most famous. In the Immigration Museum, visitors can not only see the streets and buildings on both sides at that time, Mercedes-Benz carriages, berthed seagoing ships, the looks and costumes of passers-by, but also hear the impact of waves, the chirping of seabirds, the buzzing of people and the cries of farewell to relatives during a voyage through the stereo. In the marine life exhibition room of the state museum, you can see the audio curve images of dolphins calling each other on the computer screen, and press the button to hear their special language. In the Telecommunication Museum, visitors can operate walkie-talkies, transmitters and computers.

Barossa Valley, not far from Adelaide, is the most famous wine producing area in Australia. 1842, Prussia and Silesia immigrants settled here, leaving clean vineyards, charming Lutheran churches, solid buildings, restaurants and bakeries, all of which are European. A week-long Barossa Valley Wine Festival is held here every year. Kangaroo Island is located more than kilometers south of Adelaide 1 10. Most of the island is a national park, home to koalas, kangaroos and other Australian animals and birds. There is a small town called Kingscott on the island. There is an old mulberry tree with the age of 150 in the town, which was the first exotic plant introduced to Australia. Flinders Mountains is located 350 kilometers north of Adelaide, with numerous cliffs, granite peaks, pristine mountains and canyons, and many local birds and animals. In some places, stone murals of indigenous people can be found.
