Torrens River

The River Torrens, is the most significant river of the Adelaide Plains. It was one of the main reasons for the siting of the city of Adelaide, capital of South Australia.

Adelaide in October is the season of spring. The beauty of the Dorrance River at this moment can only be known by personal experience. I come here on my own. I like to go to the Dorrance River in the morning, watching the wild duck family, the ducklings and the ducklings cross the path in groups, swinging to the river; watching the Australian magpies flying between the trees Fly away. Their cries are peculiar, like the early-made alarm clocks, so they are also called "magpies" with large white mouths and conspicuous; rainbow parrots are desperately eating flowers and nectar; pelicans are combing their feathers on the shore, completely ignoring the passing pedestrians A warning sign hung on the tree saying that there are flying foxes nearby, so that everyone is careful not to be attacked by flying foxes; the rising sun is shining on the archery practice range by the river; on the sparkling river, young people are practicing rowing early in the morning Boat; a small bridge that is only two or three people wide across the water, and there is the University of Adelaide.

The Dorrance River, originating from the Adelaide Hills, is 85 kilometers long, crossing the Adelaide Plain, across the Central Business District of Adelaide, and reaching Henley Beach (Henley Beach). The Torrens River divides Adelaide into two contrasting areas: the north and the south are quiet and beautiful residential areas, and the south is a lively and prosperous business district. There are many fish in the river, including not only Australian fish species, but also many imported and farmed from abroad, so it becomes the best choice for fishing. In the hot summer, many people like to choose to sit in the shade of a tree and fish on the green lawn, self-cultivation and self-contained. On the banks of the Dorrance River, you can often see flocks of black swans and wild ducks. They become good friends of anglers and are allowed to pet them.　　 On the banks of the Dorrance River, a quiet, forested trail has been built. Visitors can ride bicycles or stroll freely, admire the riverside scenery and various flora and fauna along the way, integrate into the local cultural life, and enjoy the leisurely experience of traveling.

The Torrens River is the mother river of Adelaide. The river is sometimes wide and sometimes narrow, and the scenery along the way is very beautiful. There are many boating enthusiasts kayaking on this river, and kayaking competitions are held here every year. It is really lively.

The locals also call the German Village, and it is said that Adelaide is as old as it is. The town is not big, but there are a lot of people and cars. We went there in mid-April and could still see the red leaves, but it was a little later, and it would be better a week earlier. Many people go to Handorf to taste German beer and pork knuckle meals, which are very similar to those eaten in Germany.
