APPEA is delighted to hold its 2012 Oil and Gas Conference and Exhibition in the city of Adelaide, Australia. Adelaide is the capital of South Australia, the home to long summers, stunning beaches and award-winning wine, events and festivals. It's the gateway to the unique National Landscapes of the Flinders Ranges and iconic Kangaroo Island.
Adelaide is easy to get around. The city rises from the middle of a tree-covered plain, between rolling hills to the east and beaches to the west.
With a population of slightly more than one million, Adelaide is the "20 minute city". The airport is only seven kilometres from Adelaide city. The Adelaide Hills and major beaches are less than half an hour away by car. That's what we call liveable!
Adelaide has a diverse cultural mix that guarantees the food is sensational. Accommodation is competitively priced. We're proud to be Australia's wine capital, with numerous regions on our doorstep. You'll be spoilt for choice.
Immerse yourself and stroll down Adelaide's cultural boulevard, North Terrace and venture inside the city's art and cultural sites. From the Art Gallery of South Australia, to the Migration Museum and South Australian Museum, you can easily run out of time.
There's the Barossa Valley and Coonawarra (reds) and the Clare Valley (Rieslings). The Adelaide Hills has some stunning whites, then there's McLaren Vale and Langhorne Creek on the Fleurieu Peninsula.
Kangaroo Island is the jewel in our tourism crown. It has pristine beaches, unique wildlife, awesome sunsets and a "drop" of wine. Don't miss this iconic destination; just two hours' drive and a short ferry ride south of Adelaide.
