It's my favorite place in Australia but for Surfers Paradise. I hear that Adelaide is terrific but I've not been there yet. Er, who told you that Adelaide is terrific? Only someone from Adelaide would say that. Melbourne's Lord Mayor says that Adelaide should be shut down: http://www.theage.com.au/national/sh...0315-8ymf.html March 15, 2009 ADELAIDE has copped another putdown from Melbourne, with Lord Mayor Robert Doyle saying South Australia's capital had so little going for it that the city should be "shut down". Adding to his critiques of other capital cities - he described Greater Brisbane as "almost a contradiction in terms" and Sydney as a city with a wallet instead of a heart - Cr Doyle said you could not even compare Adelaide to Melbourne, so devoid was it of redeeming qualities. "We should immediately commence the orderly shutdown of Adelaide," he told The Sunday Age, marking his first 100 days as Lord Mayor. The former state opposition leader, who has been praised for re-engaging Town Hall in debate about the city, is asking people to be patient and realise he has little power as Lord Mayor. "I see myself more as a catalyst, as a lever, as an influencer," he said. |
