Adelaide (Glenelg)

Glenelg, the landing place for the first settlers in South Australia, lies along St Vincents Gulf just south-west of the Adelaide CBD and has arguably built itself into the city's premier seaside suburb. Boasting several high rise apartment building and a continuous hive of development, Glenelg also has great beaches and an excellent shopping precinct (Jetty Road). The suburb is also the terminus for the historic tram that still runs from the Adelaide CBD, Holdfast Shores, the HMS Buffalo restaurant/museum, several historic buildings and the waterfront gardens & parklands are also well kept - always a recommended place to visit while in Adelaide.
