At 727 meters above sea level, Mount Lofty is truly Adelaide's Mount Everest!

Visitors can drive to the top but, during daylight, the most rewarding method is to climb there by taking the bush track through Cleland Conservation Park. Review © 2007, Wcities |

 A jungle of treasures |
21 Commercial Road Port Adelaide Adelaide, SA 5015 Australia |
This ia a Titanic of a toy shop, offering a staggering array of collectable toys, bric-a-brac, antiques and film memorabilia. This Titanic looks in no danger of sinking, however, as there are just too many adult kids around! This is the place for men and women who still collect teddy bears at 30, or who would die for an original Star Wars figurine. Here you will find a jungle of old and new, kitsch and arty, rare and common. If you love browsing in antique shops, always stop at garage sales and still have your Kinder Surprise collection, you will adore this store. Review © 2007, Wcities |

Haven for the endangered |
Stock Road Adelaide, SA 5153 Australia +61 8 8370 9197 http://www.warrawong.com/ |
Set in the beautiful Adelaide hills, Warrawong Sanctuary is testament to its creator, Dr John Wamsley. The sanctuary demonstrates how endangered native animals will thrive when the threat of feral predators is removed. Dusk and dawn guided walks allow you to wander amongst potoroos, bettongs, bandicoots and bilbies which go about their business remarkably unconcerned by human admirers. Walks also take in the platypus lake - but remember to be quiet and very patient! The Warrawong complex incorporates accommodation, a conference centre, a cafe/restaurant, native plant nursery, gift shop and school camp facilities. Review © 2007, Wcities |
