Adelaide is the state capital city of South Australia and Australia's 5th largest city. With a population of 1.3 Million people it is often referred to as the City of Churches due to the high number of churches and cathedrals throughout the city.
Adelaide is the only capital city of Australia that did not start with convicts. The only people that settled Adelaide decided to move there, so no-one stole a loaf of bread to get there.
