水邊的阿德萊德

水邊的阿德萊德

南澳首府阿德萊德，是一座寧?kù)o、美麗又不失現(xiàn)代感與藝術(shù)氛圍的港口城市，除了廣袤的草原與多產(chǎn)的葡萄樹，這里還擁有旅行者們想要探索的一切富于內(nèi)涵、饒有興味之事物。

With 1.2 million residents the South Australian city of Adelaide offers sophistication and style. The coastal capital is big enough to keep inquisitive visitors busy for weeks but with a city centre that's small enough to explore on foot.

Colonel William Light founded Adelaide in 1836, and a year later he mapped out a 'one square mile' city centre of broad streets surrounded by parklands. Despite the city's growth, the parklands remain intact to provide one of the world's great 'urban green lungs'. The chosen site was enhanced by a river that ran through it and known to the locals as Karrawirra Parri but later renamed Torrens River.

These parklands lining the Torrens River and parts of the inner city have enthralled many. In his book Down Under, Bill Bryson suggested that it was possible to step out of the city from time-to-time to get a breath of fresh air in a spacious green setting. For other noted writers like Mark Twain who visited in 1895, everything was 'delightfully exotic, except the grass. I had seen grass before.' However, Twain was fascinated by the native vegetation surrounding the city centre.

Green Lungs

Mature trees shade these green precincts plus the adjoining Adelaide Botanic Gardens and the University of Adelaide which are all within easy reach of the centre. Many city workers enjoy their lunch here in the fresh air and sunshine. Next to the gardens is the Adelaide Zoo with its collection of iconic Australian animals and Panda Bears.

Known as the Riverbank Precinct, a continuous strip of parkland lines the banks of the Torrens River and includes the famous Adelaide Oval (home of cricket and Australian Rules football) and Memorial Drive Tennis Club before extending into the the North Adelaide Golf Club.

There's probably no other city that can boast a 54-hole public golf course within a 15-minute walk from the city centre. Located next to the northern banks of the Torrens River this leafy course has spectacular city skyline views. Mature gum, fi g and pine trees line the fairways that cover 83 hectares of prime city land. Leading international golfer Adam Scott who hails from Adelaide played his fi rst game of golf here with his father.

Next year, golf takes centre stage from 16th to 19th February when the ISPC Handa Women's Australian Open will attract some of the world's leading female golfers to the Royal Adelaide Golf Club, including world number one Lydia Ko and defending champion Haru Nomura.

Festive City & Festive Foods

In 1960, Adelaide became a centre for culture when it staged Australia's pre-eminent cultural event, the Adelaide Festival. Now joined by the Adelaide Fringe held in the fi rst quarter of each year (February 17 to March 19 for the Fringe and March 3 to 19, 2017 for the Adelaide Festival) they are two of the world's leading dance, art, music and literature festivals.

Who doesn't enjoy sampling new food and produce when travelling? And South Australia is best experienced with a plate and a wine glass as some 200 wineries are within a one-hour's drive of Adelaide.

One of Australia's premier food festivals is Tasting Australia staged annually and from 30 April to 7 May, 2017. This attracts global food connoisseurs for the ultimate wine and food indulgence. Interactive events such as Feast for the Senses, celebrity lunches and dinners and, Kids in the Kitchen are some of the festival highlights.

There are several food precincts in the city with Gouger Street, the eastern end of Rundle Street, North Adelaide and Norwood being the best places to start indulging. Asian restaurants dominate the many that are situated along Gouger Street. Adelaide's bustling Central Market also opens onto Gouger Street with the best time to visit on Saturday morning when the place is jammed pack with locals stocking up on supplies. It fi rst opened 145 years ago and now 70 stallholders offer fresh produce including cheeses, fruits, pastries and meats.

Food trucks have taken to the city streets too and small laneways have become the place to open quirky bars and cafés with Peel and Leigh Streets being the places to head to.

Wine Country

Adelaide is surrounded by the Adelaide Hills and beyond them are several leading destinations including the Barossa and Clare Valley and its often wine, food and relaxation that attracts tourists. Wine stars like Shiraz, Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling and Chardonnay are supported by a score of other grape varieties.

A substantial number of pioneer settlers to the state originated from Germany and they set up farms in the now famous Barossa agricultural region. Sampling local produce is best done at the Saturday morning Barossa Farmers Market in Angaston where 50 producers sell direct to passionate local and visiting foodies.

About 50% of Australia's annual wine production originates from the Barossa with wineries such as Jacob's Creek, Orlando, Seppeltsfi eld and Torbreck having ingrained themselves on the palates of global wine connoisseurs. These well-established wineries are complemented by a new breed of innovative young winemakers who are doing things with grapes that many Old World winemakers only dream of.

The Barossa is renowned for its big Shiraz style with the world's oldest vines of over 150 years being planted at Langmeil, Turkey Flat, Bethany and St. Hallett wineries. It's possible to sample wines, dine in wonderful on-winery restaurants and others in towns in the valley, join masterclass wine tastings of iconic wines such as Grange and learn how to blend wines like GSM (Grenache, Shiraz and Mourvèdre) at Penfolds and take the fruits of your labour home to impress your friends. Seppeltsfi eld Winery can also arrange for a fortifi ed wine tasting to match your birth year.

Nearby, the town of Hahndorf is another epicentre of Germanic heritage. Its popularity has turned the once sleepy village into a popular tourist town with shops, galleries and produce outlets showcasing the region's heritage. Visit the famous Beerenberg Strawberry Farm to buy jams and conserves or participate in a cheese-making class at Udder Delights.

The Coast & Kangaroo Island

When the mercury rises the people of Adelaide head to beaches like Glenelg that are often located on the 15km-long tramline. As well as enjoying the warm sand, adventurous visitors can swim with the friendly dolphins just offshore. Temptation Sailing provides all the necessary equipment including a wetsuit for enjoying this close encounter with wild marine creatures.

Head south of Adelaide to Port Willunga to dine at the Star of Greece Café perched on the cliff top overlooking the Gulf of St. Vincent and admire the dramatic sunsets for which the region is famous. Local McLaren Vale wines like those from Chapel Hill, Coriole, d'Arenberg, Maxwell Wines, Rosemount Estate and Wirra Wirra feature on the wine lists of the leading restaurants here.

While there's a car ferry across St. Vincent Gulf most visitors will fl y to Kangaroo Island to explore its natural wonders and sample some wonderfully fresh produce. A must-try is the seafood.

New Zealand fur seals migrate to Kangaroo Island to entertain visitors who can get quite close to these playful and fascinating marine creatures at Seal Bay on the island's southern coastline. While the seals are the main wildlife attraction there are also kangaroos and koalas. Nearby, Vivonne Bay is ranked as one of Australia's most picturesque beaches with white sands and turquoise waters.

阿德萊德建于 1836 年，由威廉 ·萊特上校在草原環(huán)繞之地規(guī)劃出方圓一英里的中心市區(qū)。雖然城區(qū)日益壯大，草原卻未遭破壞，仍是一片巨大的“綠色之肺”。

選址時(shí)，貫穿而過(guò)的托倫斯河讓此處增色不少。托倫斯河沿岸的草原讓人魂?duì)繅?mèng)縈。著名作家比爾 ·布萊森曾寫道，“可以時(shí)不時(shí)離開市區(qū)，到廣袤的草原去呼吸新鮮空氣”（《澳洲烤焦了》）。著名作家馬克 ·吐溫曾于 1895 年在此地游覽，他說(shuō)，“一切都很新奇，除了草。我見過(guò)草?！?/p>

阿德萊德植物園位于阿德萊德大學(xué)后面，占地51公頃，到市中心很便利。很多工人會(huì)來(lái)此享用午餐、新鮮空氣及陽(yáng)光。附近的阿德萊德動(dòng)物園豢養(yǎng)了典型的澳洲動(dòng)物和熊貓。

沿著托倫斯河岸，是一條連綿的綠化帶。這一片有著名的阿德萊德體育館，紀(jì)念堂網(wǎng)球俱樂(lè)部（MDTC）以及北阿德萊德高爾夫俱樂(lè)部（NAGC）。

除卻阿德萊德，恐怕鮮有別的城市在離市中心步行15分鐘的地方有54洞的公共高爾夫球場(chǎng)。北阿德萊德高爾夫俱樂(lè)部臨近托倫斯河北岸，可觀賞到絕佳的城市地平線景觀。

1960 年，阿德萊德首次舉辦了阿德萊德藝術(shù)節(jié)。如今，該藝術(shù)節(jié)與藝穗節(jié)均為世界頂級(jí)的舞蹈、藝術(shù)、音樂(lè)和文學(xué)慶典。

誰(shuí)在旅游時(shí)不想嘗嘗特產(chǎn)呢？南澳的美酒佳肴給人以獨(dú)特的舌尖體驗(yàn)。

澳洲近年每年都舉辦美食節(jié)“品味澳大利亞”，吸引各地美食家前來(lái)共享嘉肴旨酒。阿德萊德市內(nèi)有眾多美食區(qū)，如歌治爾街、藍(lán)道街都值得一游。熙熙攘攘的中央市場(chǎng)緊鄰歌治爾街，攤位上擺滿了一摞摞特產(chǎn)。

阿德萊德被山脈環(huán)繞，市區(qū)外的主要景點(diǎn)有巴羅莎谷和克萊爾谷，谷中的葡萄酒、美食及休閑的氛圍是吸引游客的亮點(diǎn)。

想品嘗本地特產(chǎn)，最好在周六早上去巴羅莎農(nóng)貿(mào)市場(chǎng)，那兒有數(shù)十位農(nóng)民販賣農(nóng)產(chǎn)品，對(duì)本地或外地的吃貨都來(lái)者不拒。

巴羅莎以西拉酒聞名，本地的藍(lán)邁、紅頂鸛等酒莊擁有樹齡 150 年以上的葡萄樹。游客可去餐廳品酒，或參加名酒品鑒會(huì)，學(xué)學(xué)如何混釀葡萄酒，把親釀的美酒贈(zèng)予朋友，讓他們刮目相看。

在阿德萊德的海灘，不僅可以欣賞怡人風(fēng)光，還有機(jī)會(huì)與招人喜歡的海豚一道游泳。

很多游客會(huì)前往袋鼠島探訪自然景觀，與活潑可愛(ài)的海豹來(lái)一次親密接觸。除了海豹，袋鼠島還有袋鼠和考拉。不遠(yuǎn)處的維逢灣有澳洲最美沙灘，那兒的白沙柔軟細(xì)膩，海水湛藍(lán)澄澈。
