Rugby Tours to Adelaide is the capital city of the state of South Australia and the fifth-most populous city of Australia. The demonym Adelaidean is used to denote the city and the residents of Adelaide.

Situated on the Adelaide Plains north of the Fleurieu Peninsula between the Gulf St Vincent in the west and the Mount Lofty Ranges in the east.

Its metropolitan area extends from the coast to the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges, and stretches from Gawler in the north to Sellicks Beach in the south.

Named in honour of Queen Adelaide, consort to King William IV, the city was founded in 1836 as the planned capital for the only freely-settled British province in Australia.

Colonel William Light was one of Adelaide’s founding fathers. Light designed the city centre and chose its location close to the River Torrens. The area was originally inhabited by the Kaurna people and known as Tarndanyangga (“place of the red kangaroo”).

Light’s design, now listed as national heritage, set out the city centre in a grid layout known as “Light’s Vision”. The concept is interspaced by wide boulevards and large public squares, and entirely surrounded by parklands.

Imagine running onto Adelaide Oval to the roar of a 50,000-strong crowd.

Climbing the stairs to the 100-year-old heritage-listed scoreboard or gaining an insight into match-day preparations inside the players’ change-rooms.

All of these experiences and many more are included on a Stadium Tour.

Surfing Lessons

Surf & Sun Surf School commenced in 2001 essentially for the backpacker market in South Australia.

Owner of Surf & Sun soon discovered there was a Surf School required regularly at Middleton Beach for schools, corporate groups and the general surfing population and the Surf School was born.

They now operate as the leading surf school in South Australia, providing Learn to Surf Lessons and camps throughout South Australia.

Lessons are 2 hours in duration instructors are all experienced and capable surfers and they all share the Surf & Sun philosophy of surfing for fun.

Their surf lessons are very interactive. The instructors are always out amongst you helping you catch and surf waves during all lessons not standing on the beach with their arms crossed.

Aussie Football Training

As most rugby players know that their sport is a very contact and physical sport. Aussie Football players will argue that their sport is a lot tougher and even more physical.

Now is your chance to find out with a intense training session with coaching staff from the Adelaide Crows Aussie Football Club.

Find out first hand how different it is from playing rugby.

One way to stand out from the crowd when practising is the bounce of the ball. When you are running with the ball make sure you bounce it out far enough in front of you so it bounces back to you while you are in mid flow.

Mount Lofty Adventure Hub

Could this be Adelaide’s best kept secret, Mount Lofty Adventure Hub?

Adventure courses are not just for kids. These courses are designed specifically for older groups as group training facilities.

First developed way back in 1990, the hub is South Australia’s first, largest and we believe, still the best Adventure Based Learning facility. Ideally located on the back of Mt Lofty in the Adelaide Hills.

This group training facility is available for team building, youth groups and makes a great venue for parties or days out.

The centre offers an outstanding range of activities:

Adelaide’s first Tree based Challenge Ropes Course.
High and Low Ropes elements.
Adventure Tower featuring: – 15metre Climbing Wall.
Beginner, intermediate and advanced Abseil walls.
SA’s longest Zip-line the unique 3 person Mega Swing.

Strap in for the ride – 18m high and weighted, can’t be missed.

Adelaide Gaol

George Strickland Kingston made his mark in the new colony as a civil engineer, architect and surveyor. In 1840, he was commissioned to design Adelaide’s new gaol.

The plans he drew up were based on the contemporary American radiating model, used on some gaols in Ireland and England’s Pentonville prison.

The first Governor of the Gaol, William Baker Ashton and arrived in South Australia in November 1838 with wife, Charlotte and three children.

He accepted the position as Governor of the original gaol – the ‘Stone Jug’ – on 1 January 1839.

Charlotte soon became matron to the female prisoners and worked alongside her husband. There were even rumours of the place being nicknamed Ashton’s Hotel.
