Adelaide - what is there to do

[Zippo]

So, I am now looking at places to take another holiday in 2015.
Adelaide has made the list, because I have never been there before.

Due to financial reasons, I need to go in either May or September (leaning towards September) and I want to know what to do in the city (and further afield) and also if its warm or not (anything over 25 is too hot for me)

On the way back, I am thinking of hitting Melbourne as well since I need to either fly to Melbourne or Sydney to get home

Thoughts or comments

Visit IKEA, Rundle Mall, Tea Tree Plaza, and Marion for all shopping needs. Rundle Mall has the big balls, and a fair few knickknack shops like Shin Tokyo which sells anime and assorted Japanese TFs and shittonne of figures, and the card game shop.
Bontanical Gardens in the city if you so feel.
Marvel at the roadworks happening at any place at any time.

Yeah, we ain't got much happening.

Curl up in a foetal position all day every day?.....much like Perth also

Try and avoid the mall on Fridays after about 5pm. That is all.

Like footy? Go to a game at Adelaide Oval.

I got told off for looking at a Playboy in a newsagents when I was 15 on my one visit through there on a school trip. So don't go to the newsagents That is 100% of my experiences of Adelaide


(wow - looking at a softcore porn mag in a shop - it was a low-tech and barbaric age the 90's )

I was born and raised in Adelaide. In fact, it was because I grew up in Adelaide that Santa delivered to me a G1 Megatron for Xmas in 85. My cousins in Melbourne were insanely jealous It's a great city for relaxing and getting away from it all. I'm not a big city person so it took me a while to get used to Sydney, and even now, I'm still not used to it. I always planned to move back to Adelaide one day but with kids now, it's a harder decision because it means up-rooting them from school and leaving their friends and much of our family behind. Maybe I'll just retire there...

Oh, and go check out Glenelg while your there. It's a great tourist spot.

Cheers for the feedback so far everyone.
I haven't spent any time looking at anything aside from how I would get there

Dunedin to Christchurch to Sydney to Adelaide
or Dunedin to Auckland to Sydney OR Melbourn to Adelaide seems to be the options.

Nor have I decided the budget ... While its nice planing a holiday 6+ months out, the wait once everything is book to go is hell
