Glenelg

Adelaide seaside suburb Glenelg beach.

Adelaide seaside suburb Glenelg beach is where I decided to stay in October 2014. It is the oldest European settlement on mainland South Australia & was established in 1836.

Tram to the city

A pleasant way to travel to the heart of the city without any car parking problems.

Bay discovery centre

This building on the left was the town hall until 1997 and is now the Bay discovery centre. The building on the right is the Five Star Stamford Grand which is the number one spot to stay in Glenelg & perhaps the whole of Adelaide, use this link for a great room rate.

Old Glenelg church

The name Glenelg is noteworthy for being a palindrome.

Adelaide seaside suburb Glenelg Marina

There a quite a selection of restaurants at the marina and car parking is available in the basement.

Oyster Bar

Denis Young and I have been friends since I lived in Adelaide in 1973, strangely we have hardly changed at all. 🙂

Grind It

A very good place for breakfast, which is rated number 2 restaurant in Glenelg by TripAdvisor.

Parkland between the Marina and town centre.

Atlantic Tower Motor Inn is a reasonable priced motel in a good location, use this link for a discounted room rate.

Cardone’s Seafood and Grill

Rated number one by TripAdvisor out of 135 restaurants in Glenelg, I had dinner there twice and it was excellent.

Stanford Grand Hotel Glenelg

This has to be one of Adelaide’s prime locations.

Apartments overlooking the beach.

What a beautiful spot.

Farewell from Adelaide.

From here I drove the Great Ocean Road to Dromana in Victoria, via the car ferry across Port Phillip Bay.

Thanks for visiting my Adelaide seaside suburb Glenelg beach photo blog

Adelaide holds some wonderful memories for me, the 2 years I lived there in the 70s were as good as any in my life. Now to explain where I’m at and how I feel, I’ll leave it up to Glenn Frey.
