SA. THE FESTIVAL STATE

So we've finally rendezvoused with Chaz, who's been waiting eagerly for our arrival after a week of solitude. What better place to hook up, the city is absolutely buzzing this time of year, literally!

I won't attempt to try and list all the festivals that are happening simultaneously here, but between the Adelaide Festival, The Fringe, The Garden of Unearthly Delights, Writers Week and Womad, theres enough to keep us occupied for a couple of weeks at least!! And of course we've got the best hosts and tour guides to get the low-down from.

 Having not heard an awful lot about the city, bar the fringe before we came, we've been pleasantly surprised and impressed by Adelaide. Our friends and locals here have told us that either side of the festival season or "Mad March” as the locals call it, the current buzz dissipates and very little happens here, which is incredibly hard to imagine rite now.
