Arriving in Adelaide
Adelaide Airport is located approximately 8km west of
the city or just 15 minutes from Adelaide ‘s Central Business District. A taxi fare from the airport to Adelaide Convention Centre is approximately $20 -$25. There is a regular shuttle bus service to and from the airport.
Adelaide, the City of Churches, has a population of just over 1 million people, centrally located around the banks of the Torrens River. The colonists who arrived in 1836 captured Adelaide’s architectural heritage in fine stone work to
give the city its elegant air.
It is a well planned city, laid out on a square mile grid, with wide streets surrounded by a green belt of parklands. For visitors this means that Adelaide is an easy city in which to get around.
The dry Mediterranean climate encourages a relaxed outdoor lifestyle, with plenty of opportunity to enjoy the many cafes, restaurants, fine food and great wine. You can register on the internet by going to www.d9810adelaideconference.com
