Pretty obvious really, but Lonely Planet think so as well.

Great weather, beaches, affordable real estate, no traffic jams, fritz, pie floaters, best wine (& beer) in Australia, great produce, the list goes on.

I stay clear of Brisbane. I'm worried about getting my ankles chipped on someone's spurs.:-)

And Adelaide has had songs written about it too

Ben Folds comes to mind (Bogans at the motor race anyone ?)

And I think Spiderbait

Where evaporative coolers actually work ... cheaper and healthier too

Perth seems OK.   I was there last week again, wistfully remembering when it was an outpost town, smaller than Adelaide.

Now it's all grown up, brash and expensive, and everyone seems in a hurry.   Lots of freeways which looked like car parks at certain parts of the day.   And the airport was full of fluoro-clad FIFOs, it was hard to get a seat in the Qantas Club

I love Adelaide.

But it still feels like a country town in comparison to Sydney.

I think it's what you are used to.

I am often asked where was I born, when I say Adelaide, they say, *oh, I thought you were from England*........must have something to do with being born in Adelaide.
