You know you are in Adelaide when…..

• The roads are straight and long and run east-west or north-south.
• You can always see the hills to the east, even when you are on the beach to the west.
• There is space to breathe and move.
• The beach is wide and white and hundreds of miles long, in both directions
• You have known your friends since before you can remember
• No-one needs help getting vitamin D
• You can walk in the sea with bare feet even in winter
• Rain makes everyone happy
• On the radio they are STILL talking about what to do about the Britannia Round-about!!!
• Matthew Evans and David Bevan are on 891 morning radio AND they are still great
• Rose Squire is still on 891 on Sundays, with her renovation talk-back and home handyman tips. Wow, she is great too.
• Old buildings and homes are made of beautiful stone
• When you get off the plane, you are right there, almost in my mother’s backyard
• The quality and variety of local ingredients surpasses anything, anywhere else
• I actually enjoy going to a certain supermarket, Foodland at Frewville, because they specialise in SA produce and it makes me proud to be South Australian
• People talk like I do
• You can get REALLY good cheese, organic chicken and Coorong Mullet (just the BEST fish in the world…. shhhh… don’t tell anyone or they will stop only charging $6.50 / kg!!)
• They are STILL doing road works on South Road
• Half of every shop fridge is taken over with Farmers’ Union Iced Coffee (Thanks, Alex!)
