I did the Groovy Grape "Desert Patrol" from Adelaide to Alice Springs tour years ago. Our guide…read morewas Steve who is a good guy who made the whole experience worth while. Highlights include the Flinders Ranges, William's Creek (pop 7), the opal capital, Coober Pedy and finally Ulura and The Olgas before finishing up in Alice Springs. Total trip was 6 nights. Food and accommodations are included in the price. You sleep mostly outside in swags (with the Dingos) plus one night in an underground hotel in Coober Pedy. Meals are prepared on site so be expected to help cook and clean up. Beer is optional. This is a very laid back tour geared toward backpackers and other budget travelers, so don't expect any luxuries here. There is also a lot of hiking, so being in physical shape is helpful. Steve was especially helpful in Alice Springs as my hostel was overbooked and he was able to get me in at a different location. He even took us all out for kangaroo after the tour was over. If you are spending any extended time in Australia, then this tour is a must.

The prices are reasonable and the knowledge and enthusiasm from the guides is second to none. The 7 day desert trip from Adelaide to Alice Springs is a memorable way to see the heart of Australia and spend many nights in a swag under the stars, but if it's wildlife you're after, the 3 day Kangaroo Island tour is a must. Everything from koalas and kangaroos to seals and sea lions!

Times were good on this walking tour (the dumpling variety), with some awesome street art and four…read moredifferent dumpling cuisines! Firstly, the logistics: Meeting at 2:30pm was a great time of day to start the tour, meant the weather was nice and sunny for the 2.5 hour duration, and our tour guide, Karen, was friendly, knowledgeable and fun. The walk was a bit strange at first as I knew the area of Gouger Street quite well and noticed we did a full circle to our original starting point before moving on again to the second dumpling point, however perhaps this is to accommodate the street art aspect of the tour. Secondly, the street art: Karen definitely knew her stuff! All these amazing works of art that I hadn't previously noticed, or knew much about, became so much more interesting with a little background knowledge. For example, there were some little themed tiles left above street signs on brick walls, I had never seen them before! Such an eye-opener of a tour in regards to the skills of these amazing artists. Thirdly, the dumplings: The first dumpling option completely shook up everything I thought I knew about dumplings (turns out it just means filling surrounded by some sort of pastry, what a fool I was). The Russian Piroshki was delicious, involving a savoury donut dough with a warm filling, such as potato and leek or spinach and feta. Moving on, the second option was Japanese Gyoza, a fried meaty dumpling that I have eaten many times and wasn't disappointed with! The third option was two large plates of Steamed and Fried Chinese pork and cabbage dumplings. This serving really filled us up, even with the walk to the next venue. Luckily Karen informed us that at the Vietnamese venue we could choose to try the steamed buns or a Viet iced coffee if we were too full. I was told that the steamed buns were great, but I was definitely happy with my sweet iced caffeine! All in all, a good time and recommended if you want to try something different!

You will not go hungry and the walking in between venues permits digestion. Accompanying the dumpling education was an education on street art. It was interesting but I'm not sure about the fit between the two. Also, at some street art venues, it was difficult to hear our tour leader. I love the concept of doing a tour in your hometown - a staycation- and it is good value for money. I'd recommend it to others, particularly if you are a fan of street art

Generations of venerated blood still flowing through some stalls, and it shows. Passion, pride, excellence. Purpose. As a whole, the Adelaide Central Markets is a medley of history and taste, family and choice. For me it is a "Wow!" This was also my second visit in a year. Not everything is a gold star here, but most things are. With trepidation and excitement, explore with my blessing. I have also reviewed individual stalls here too. Like a kid in a candy shop, I go crazy in this place

Lot's of play equipment to keep the kids entertained, I do have a problem with the slide set up though, to get to the top you have to climb up this weird green material that has been fashioned into steps, but you cant really see the steps, very tripsy indeed. I know this because I went down the slide numerous times and the climb up didn't get any easier. There is a kiosk available for drinks and ice-cream etc. you can bring your own picnic though and there are BBQ facilities available. one thing I did notice was a lack of rubbish bins, in fact I didn't see one, but there had to be one because there was no rubbish on the ground. The burnside pool is just across the green if you want to go for a swim, personally I don't like public pools because of how much chlorine they have to pack into them, ever had chlorine induced hazy eye syndrome? It's painful.

The bottom line is, this is GREAT and much more of an adventure park than the Burnside Adventure park. There's sheltered tables for the on-lookers plus some wildly different play equipment. It's the sort of place where children will run from one thing to another. I can't wait to explore this park more with my daughter. There are BBQs on the lawn section just off of the playground area and unfortunately there isn't a lot of shade over there apart from tree shade. If your child is in a wheel chair, there is a mechanical swing for them to use. Lots of fun shall be had at this playground.
