20-minute city, Adelaide self-drive must-visit guide

The day after we got married, we flew to Australia and wandered for 500 days on a self-driving trip, working and traveling at the same time. If you're interested in our story, you can check out our previous notes. During our Road trip🚗 to South Australia, we discovered its capital—Adelaide, known as the '20-minute city', because you can reach the beach or the mountains within a 20-minute drive. We've summarized 4 must-visit attractions that you shouldn't miss. 🟠hallett cove This place is a national geological park with many unique landforms. The most famous is a limestone landform dating back hundreds of millions of years, known as 'Sugarloaf', which is the landmark of the entire park. It's really beautiful. We arrived just in time for sunset, and the photos were super beautiful, and both the trails and the coastline are gorgeous. 🟠Cleland wildlife park Here you can get up close and personal with wildlife, experiencing the joy and surprise of returning to nature. Holding a cute koala in your arms or taking a photo with a kangaroo are thrilling, unique, and fun experiences. However, be careful when holding a koala, as their claws are very sharp, and it's easy to get scratched if you're not careful. 🟠University of Adelaide In 2024, the University of Adelaide made it into the top 100 of the QS World University Rankings, coming in at number 89. The campus is beautiful and open to the public and tourists for free, and it is also one of the four most outstanding universities recommended by the Australian government. We also went there because of its reputation, and although we couldn't enter the teaching buildings, walking around the campus made us feel as if we had traveled back in time and were 10 years younger. 🟠Art Gallery of South Australia What shocked me the most about this art gallery was a specimen of a horse with one leg suspended in mid-air, as if it didn't fit in with the entire art gallery, yet it symbolizes art. There are also two figures with steel spikes all over their bodies, incredible works of art that you must see if you have the time, truly eye-opening.
