Adelaide

Adelaide is the state capital of South Australia. It is the fifth-largest city in Australia and is about 1408 kilometers away from Sydney. It is filled with parks and is designed in a peculiar way. It is shaped like and irregular figure eight, with the two halves of the city filling the holes, and the surronding parks making the outline. It was founded by a shady man by the name of Edward Gibbon Wakefield, who had the intention of turning it into a colony of freeman. Adelaide is one of the most overlooked places in Australia. In esscence, it is the "Australia" of Australia., existing but people hardly taking notice of it. It appears that the porblems of Adelaide is geographical in nature. It is on the wrong side of Australia, and is therefore removed from the vital trading markets of Asia. If you ask anybody outside of Adelaide about it they say" yeah, its nice, but its dying ya know?".
