beach side

in adelaide for the festival
Adelaide is one of the easiest cities on the planet to get around in. With the exception of the Clare Valley (a leisurely 2 hours) and the Riverland and Limestone Coast (about four hours) you can reach the major wine regions within an hour.
Any city establishment is a 10 minute cab ride from city accommodation, the beach 20 minutes, and the suburbs in our guide about the same time. Don’t forget city bikes, provided free by the Adelaide City council they are a really fab way to get around in the good weather.

    but we have finished
    There is no doubt about it Heston is a bloody genius. The book is a gorgeous publication and true it does have something of the Daliesque about it, but we see nothing wrong with that.
    We haven’t tried any of the recipes yet but they appear to be so carefully written we have high expectations……treat yourself to this book!

    and, on the grounds that if one recipe is so fantastic there must be more, we’ve ordered
