The Easter Long Weekend is the Perfect Time to Relax
If you're not too drained after the festivities of Mad March, you'll find plenty of fun things to do coming up in April. The Easter holiday long weekend is jam-packed with family activities in Adelaide, and we've got a special section dedicated just to them.
One of our favourite outdoor activities over Easter is the
Adelaide International Kite Festival on Semaphore beach which is huge fun for kids. Meanwhile, over at Ayers House Museum, the
Age of Elegance Exhibition has just launched, a stunning immersive fashion installation in one of Adelaide's most beautiful heritage homes. It's an exciting teaser to this year's Australian Heritage Festival which begins on April 18.

Escape the City: Sunset at Robe on the Limestone Coast
The Easter long weekend is the best time to get away for a short holiday in South Australia. Make a day trip to Victor Harbor and
Granite Island, then have
lunch at Port Elliott. Spend the weekend sightseeing
special places on Yorke Peninsula. Take a short
break on the Limestone Coast where there's so many things to see and do, or why not
visit Melrose and Mount Remarkable to see the awesome natural beauty of our
Flinders Ranges.
You might even be able to
solve an old mystery in country SA. Even if you don't, you can see some iconic sights of
fascinating South Australian history in the mid-North.
Whoever said Adelaide is boring?
