Adelaide is the capital city of South Australia and the fifth-largest city in Australia.
As South Australia's seat of government and commercial centre, Adelaide is the site
of many governmental and financial institutions. Most of these are concentrated in
the city centre along the cultural boulevard of North Terrace, King William Street
and in various districts of the metropolitan area. Today, Adelaide is noted for its
many festivals and sporting events, its food, wine and culture, its long beachfronts,
and its large defence and manufacturing sectors.
Adelaide's arts scene flourished in the 1960s and 1970s with the support of successive
premiers of both major political parties. The renowned Adelaide Festival of Arts
and Fringe Festival were established in 1960 under Thomas Playford. Construction
of the Adelaide Festival Centre began under Steele Hall in 1970, and was completed
under the subsequent government of Don Dunstan, who also established the South Australian
Film Corporation and, in 1976, the State Opera of South Australia.
The main sports played professionally in Adelaide are Australian rules football,
association football, cricket, netball and basketball. Adelaide is the home of two
Australian Football League teams: the Adelaide Crows and Port Adelaide Power, and
one A-League soccer team, Adelaide United. A local Australian rules football league,
the SANFL, is made up of nine teams from around Adelaide. The SANFL has been in operation
since 1877 when it began as the South Australian Football Association (SAFL) before
changing its name to the SANFL in 1907. The SANFL is the oldest surviving football
league of any code played in Australia.
Being centrally located on the Australian mainland, Adelaide forms a strategic transport
hub for east-west and north-south routes. The city itself has a metropolitan-wide
public transport system, which is managed by and known as the Adelaide Metro.
