Harts Mill, situated between St Vincent Street and Mundy St is a historic redbrick building, and a…read morewell known landmark in Port Adelaide. Recently earmarked for residential development, locals and the artistic community of Port Adelaide have for some time now been lobbying to save at least part of the iconic building.There is currently growing support to have a portion of the Mill converted into a community arts center which would be a big win, but financial incentives for the gentrification of the Harts Mill District are strong and it seems that before too long, the Mill may be no more than another set of apartment blocks. If you have any interest in the architectural history of South Australia it would be well worth heading down to Port Adelaide to check out the Mill while it still stands. It truly is a beautiful old building and it catches the afternoon light in an ethereal manner. There are an infinite number of nooks and crannies and imperfections for the eye to explore and it makes for a great setting for industrial landscape painting. I've been there on occasion to paint with some local artists and one could spend a life time exploring its aesthetic possibilities. It will be truly sad the day the Mill no longer stands.

Are you interested in learning about South Australian history? Do you just like boats? If you like…read moreone of the above mentioned, you will like the tour of The Clipper. What an amazing ship! It took a long time, a lot of dedicated people and a whole lot of money to get her back to Australia from Scotland. So, it's worth going to have a look. The ship was used to take the first colonist from England to South Australia. It could fit up to 300 people onboard and was one of the fastest ships to get you here. It was like a jet of ships. I wont tell you anymore of the history side of things, you can learn more about it when you go on the tour. It is a lot bigger than I thought it was going to be. Good headroom inside of the cabin areas as well. Especially in comparison to other ships I have been on. So, I think that passengers had it pretty good on this ship. What is truly amazing is looking at the construction of the ship. All the materials, design and hard work to make it such a solid structure. No wonder it lasted so long. Take note of what the tour guide tells you when s/he explains the materials and processes. What I really do want to say about The Clipper is that you have to admire the hard work of all of the volunteers in looking after this girl and restoring her. It is so important for us to learn about how Australia came to be what it is today. And this is just one part. It is truly a piece of history that I hope continues to survive for generations to admire and day dream about. What was it like travelling on this vessel to a new unknown land? One thing is for sure, the people that travelled on this boat were really brave!

Definitely not a major tourist attraction, the tram barn is worth a look though I've you're ever on…read moreMagill Road. It's a shame that you can't go in but basically just have to look at it from the street. It's one of Adelaide's two old tram barns that still exist and was build in 1882. The fences aren't very high at all so you can see the little houses that they build inside at a later stage. The exterior is, apparently, unchanged though and looks rather cute.

It has been ages since I've actually been into the church, despite actually living in Adelaide…read more Actually, I really do appreciate how some of these churches leave the doors open to allow people to wander in and walk around, and this church is certainly no exception (though there is some volunteer sitting there ready to help people out, and to answer any questions). I wouldn't necessarily say that it is impressive, not compared to some churches that I've visited, but for a cathedral in Australia, it still isn't all that bad.

Beside the renowned brewery reaching over the Torrens and connecting the city to the greater West is this bridge that you wouldn't even know you were crossing these days, but if you stopped at the parking available around here, say to look at the Christmas lights or the brewery park you would notice the wishing well and the monuments describing the historical significance of this spot.

Well, yeah, it's like a lighthouse, except it isn't because you really can't live in it, namely…read morebecause it is way too small for that. Anyway, you don't need to because, well, ships really don't come this far down the Port River anymore, and also, it is in the middle of Port Adelaide, which means that there are plenty of places where you can live that doesn't involve the inside of an incredibly small structure. However, it seems to be one of those famous things in this town, if all the advertising material is anything to go by.

Port Adelaide is one of those regions of South Australia that has a lot of history behind it. The…read morerather well known lighthouse is a big part of that history. The lighthouse is located right next to the Fisherman's Wharf Markets and when you've been through the markets it's worth paying the tiny fee of $1 (50c for kids) to climb up and have a look out over the city. Personally, when I climbed up for the first time the main thing I noticed was how flat Adelaide really is, especially when compared to cities like Melbourne where a lot of walking up and down streets is required. It's not something you'll want to be doing every week, as obviously it's the same view every time. For the price though, you may as well go along and experience a piece of South Australian history.

I am currently working for the 36ers...just started a few weeks ago as the social media writer for official 36ers' twitter and facebook page...was responsible for giving media passes to VIP...and know FULL WELL how awesome the '98-'99 36ers were, before Wollongong Hawks did their thing in the 2000-2001 season. I grew up watching the major Adelaide 36ers changes over time. Let me follow by saying that I can't stand a few (only a few) of the negative fans. Please. I'm an extremely passionate basketball player...and even if I weren't, I like to just sit down and support my home team. And BOY they can be negative. From the direct personal insults at players/coaches/even hardworking staff members, criticisms, to the loud angry boos after a home loss...everything was annoying. Yet somehow, I must stay positive despite the hostile environment. I always enjoy watching a basketball game, whether in front of my big screen TV, in the corporate office, or in the school playground. Even now, I have found memories of that late '90's 36ers team. The only reason I'm not giving it 5 stars is for a few of the unsupportive fans. ...yet I wonder how this review would change over time, the longer I work there. Will the 36ers make some changes then turn things around next year?....the Yelp world and rest of the NBL Australia followers will have to wait and see.

Half of the people in this town don't even know it's a lake..!" The Weir marks a point where the River Torrens starts to let its hair down a bit. Down stream the banks are a little unkempt, a little wilder and perhaps a little more fun. Surrounded by shady trails, the Weir is a nice starting point for a break from the city or suburbia. It's also a good pedestrian link, with a shiny new timber surface, between the north and south banks. The signage "No Bathing" seems unnecessary. And the original plaque reads 'these gates were opened 1929' acchumm, opened..? Granted the state gov is capable of building an 'open' weir... But, they mean shut! Keep it shut! Those shopping carts are below a couple of meters of water for a reason! Lets keep them there.

South Australia's pride and esteemed heritage site…read more Containing the historical remnants, artefacts and armament from 1880, this is a stunning site to relive the nation's historical site. Guided tours run by the Fort Glanville Historical Association are held every Tuesday afternoon's only but open to public on the third Sundays of each month. Kids would love the reenactment demonstrations as there are marching drills, men in suits parade exercises and canon firing. I can't think of a better way to embrace the historical moments when the Fort was used to guard the ships sailing across the Outer Harbour and Port River.
