A guy I used to work for is visiting Oz over Christmas and happens to be going to a wedding in Adelaide. Here's a transcript of the emails going back and forth yesterday... made me think how much I actually love my little city..!
Dave: Renee, Unfortunately i can't go to Michael's bash. This is because i will be tucking into a 4+20 Meat Pie (the taste that made Australia great) in or around your home town and am thus unavailable for black pudding treats in London around this time... Dave
Me: Bugger the 4 n 20's.. tuck into a Balfours pie (with dead 'orse), Coopers Pale Ale, yiros (with LOADS of garlic sauce) and have an Farmers Union Iced Coffee. When in Adelaide....

This lead to me spending the whole of yesterday look at South Australia related articles on Wikipedia (haha... The Old Gum Tree and the O-Bahn??) and harping on to everyone about how good Yiros's are.
A list of what I want to do when I'm home:
- Sunday session at the Grand!
- Cook a barbie (while it's actually hot) and have everything with barbecue sauce. (They don't have it here... they have "brown sauce"??!)
- Knock back some super chilled Pale's (and grab a jug of Pale at the Austral when they have em for $8)
- Sit in Elder Park
- Drive along King William Street (now realising how tiny it is!) up over North Terrace and past Adelaide Oval
- Watch a footy match at Noarlunga Oval (Go you Panthers!! (or "YOU LITTLE BEAUTY!!" as Robert Pyman put it so eloquently to me)
- Visit Dan at Charlesworth nuts for free samples. THE BEST NUTS IN THE WORLD.
- Eat a yiros from Rundle Street... and one from Jetty Road (and not smear the garlic sauce all over my arm and the table... oh dear)
- Marion shopping centre. (I miss shopping centres so much!!)
- Get a yogy from Central Markets!! MOCHA YOGY!!!!
- Shop for Bonds undies and trackies, Berlei bras and JeansWest jeans
- Drive up to Hahndorf/Murray Bridge.. I love the Hysen Tunnels!
- Walk down the Glenelg jetty (mmmm sea air)
- Visit DECS and the newly refurbished Wakey (I don't care if it's name has been changed.. it'll ALWAYS be the Wakey)
- Day trip to Victor (complete with Hairy Lemon soundtrack)
- Get a picture of me holding a koala at Cleland... just so I can bring it back and show everyone my 'pet' Koala.
Any other suggestions?
