About Adelaide & Australia
Home > Getting Here > About Adelaide & Australia
Adelaide is the capital city of the State of South Australia – one of eight States and Territories in the island continent of Australia.
Adelaide boasts some of the world’s best wine, food and urban environments, combining to form Australia’s most convenient city. As the country’s most central mainland city and gateway to all that South Australia has to offer, Adelaide is just a short flight from any Australian city.
A city of natural beauty and simple elegance, Adelaide has an idyllic setting between the Mount Lofty Ranges and the peaceful waters of the Gulf St Vincent. The city, often described as ‘a city in a park’, is surrounded by parklands filled with olive groves, stands of majestic gum trees, rose gardens, walking trails, sports fields and golf courses.

The Adelaide Experience
South Australia’s popularity as a travel destination has a lot to do with the appetite its people have for good living. It’s a lifestyle they share generously with visitors, combining great wine, fresh local food and al fresco dining with a distinctly Mediterranean climate and Adelaide’s beautiful parkland setting.
When considering your travel expenditure over 10 days at the Congress, you’ll be delighted by Adelaide’s modest costs. Compared to major European or North American cities, Adelaide’s quality hotels are very affordable. Food costs are also very affordable - you won’t believe how cheap it is to dine out in Adelaide when compared with most major cities around the world.
This means that most Congress delegates from the northern hemisphere, after budgeting for 10 days of travel, accommodation and food, will find it’s no more expensive to travel to Adelaide than to a major European or North American city!
