We were so excited to go on our first Ghan train trip -- which departed Adelaide from the Parklands…read moreterminal at noon that day. First the check in was pretty painless. We drove up to the front behind one other car and the staff helped With our bags. Then went into the terminal and went to the Gold line. Only one person in front of us checking in. Checkin was done within 8 min or so. The folks had the terminal all fixed up with mimosas, coffee and tea, cookies a few sweets and live music. There was plenty of seating for waiting passengers and a small gift shop with Ghan items such as tea towels, t shirts, wallets, magnets and more. The train pulled up about 30 min before we got on. The steward assigned to our car greeted us and helped us put our carry on luggage in our sleeper car. I love that they had the welcome aboard mural so u can take a picture with the train before you get on. It has some beautiful colors in it. All-in-all it was a well designed and comfortable terminal to wait to board the train. Good job!

I am so glad that this railway station is still here, but it looks like it has been purchased and…read moretransformed into something else. I guess that is a bit of a shame because it means that it is unlikely to be turned back into a railway station, but then again this is Adelaide and they really don't seem to like trains here. However, it is still pretty cool that this really old station is still standing, just don't expect to catch any trains from here.

I'm not really all that sure about the railway stations in Adelaide namely because they basically…read moreconsist entirely of a shelter and nothing more. Okay, they do have a departure board, but there is no ticket window, and there are certainly no restrooms either. Sure, the old shelter is still there, but once again it probably needs a bit of a makeover.

I went on the "Half-day Adelaide and Hahndorf Tour" and it was marvellous. Our group was picked up…read moreby our guide, David, at the Hilton. We were shown around the city and given lots of fascinating background information. We saw and heard about Adelaide history and passed by several places of interest. We stopped in to see the newly renovated Adelaide Oval then made our way up into the Adelaide Hills. The peak of Mt Lofty has a glorious view and we enjoyed that with a short stop. We then went on to Hahndorf. We had free time here to explore the main street, where there are shops, cafes and other things of German culture to investigate. Our schedule was managed very carefully and we left Hahndorf in good time to get back to the city as planned. Overall, this tour and our guide was excellent. I would recommend this tour and would definitely choose them for another tour in the future. Well done.

Honestly, this is so much better than the older bus station, not that I really catch buses all this…read moremuch these days, namely because flying is so much cheaper, and convenient, and faster (though not so environmentally friendly). Yeah, the old bus station was a bit of a dump, however this newer one has great facilities, and is a much better place for buses that come through Adelaide, which is probably the major non-car method of getting around the state. Yeah, they have definitely made it a much better place to catch buses from.

Coming from the country I have frequented the Adelaide Central Bus Station more than I would like…read moreto admit. That 6 hour Stateliner trip with 8 million stops to Mount Gambier is the bane of my existence and as soon as I could get my license I was saving for a car so I wouldn't have to travel on the bus anymore. Having said that, for those who don't mind the bus the service has greatly improved as has the facilities. The new Central Bus Station has been there for a few years but looks so much nicer than the sad looking building next door that was its former residences. The building is light and airy and there is plenty of seating room while you wait. There is big row of customer service people who can help with your questions and a little café to purchase magazines or food for the trip. There are nice toilet facilities and a freight area where you can pick up packages sent up on the buses. A definite improvement on what used to be there before, although there is still not great parking which becomes a pain.

Well, this station does happen to be a little better than a number of other stations that I have…read morevisited in the area, namely because the shelters seem to actually have a somewhat antique feel about them. Mind you, like most of the stations in Adelaide, it isn't staffed, and there are no restrooms either. However, it is sort of an interchange station, namely because the line to Grange diverges at this point. Anyway, it is certainly better than some of the other stations that I have visited.

I reckon it would have been really handy to have had this railway line built a while back,…read moreespecially since it now literally takes you to the entrance of Flinders University. It honestly makes it so much easy to get there now, though considering that the university is spread out over quite a large campus, it is still rather tricky. Mind you, I probably wouldn't have used it since it didn't go past my place. Anyway, the station is a typical Adelaide Railway station, which makes it rather annoying anyway. Still, it works.

Greg drove us (group of 9) around the Barossa Valley touring vineyards. He contacted us ahead with…read moreseveral suggestions and made reservations for our group. He was flexible when we dawdled, courteous, enjoyable to visit with and a conscientious driver. It was awesome to have everyone able to indulge and know we would be driven home safely. The van was large, clean and air conditioned. I would highly recommend his services.
