    Rundle Mall / Street: Buskers are fun
  • Tip Rating:
  • Rundle Mall often has buskers performing for the etertainment of the crowds, and of course, to make a little money.
    It makes a pleasant break from the hard work of shopping at the major stores that also front the mall.

    Rundle Mall / Street: Rundle Mall & Rundle Street
  • Tip Rating:
  • These are the main shopping districts in Adelaide. They aren't so popular with locals since Westfield shopping centres were built in the suburbs but they offer a much nicer shopping environment. Rundle Mall is foot traffic only. Look out for the mystifying big silver balls at the centre of the mall - they are a good meeting place because you definitely cannot miss them. There are usually a lot of buskers in Rundle Mall. Some are really great, like the man who brings in an organ (I gave him money just for getting it in there but he plays well too). Some are not so great.

    I recommend to visit: Haigh's chocolate store, Made in Japan (Myer Centre), David Jones, Balfours bakery (buy a frog cake), Ikeguchi (actually on Pulteney St - cross from Rundle Mall to Rundle Street and take a right past Hungry Jacks), Bimbo, Miss Gladys Sym Choon, Mary Martin Bookshop, the Austral, and one of the many cafes and restaurants on Rundle Street.

    If you need a haircut, try Gritti Palace (Gawler Place, off Rundle Mall) or The Parlour. If you want to take in a film, the Palace Nova cinemas are nice and intimate. Remember to check down all the little side streets too, because there are some great little shops down there. And finally, another good meeting place is with Ronald McDonald on the ground floor of the Myer Centre.

    Rundle Mall / Street: See the cheeky pigs
  • Tip Rating:
  • In the middle of Rundle Street Mall there are these public art statues of 4 cheeky little pigs (Horatio, Truffles, Augusta and Oliver) rummaging around a garbage bin. These statues have become the " Mannequin Pis" of Adelaide taking the shine off that other famous landmark at the Mall, "The Sphere"

    Rundle Mall / Street: The round spheres
  • Tip Rating:
  • Another Rundle Street landmark. These two shiny stainless steel spheres sitting on top of each other has been a famous meeting place in Adelaide. When they say "Let's meet at The Spheres", it's well understood.

    Rundle Mall / Street: Rundle Mall
  • Tip Rating:
  • Rundle Mall for city shopping is the place to be. Down this tree-lined mall are about 750 stores and shops and is the most concentrated shopping area in the Southern Hemisphere. It includes major department stores, shopping arcades and centres, as well a many top names and small boutiques. On the top of one of the malls, there is some kind of little train running around the roof.

    You can buy anything, from a fresh apple from one of the outside fruit and vegetable stalls to the latest designer outfit 7 days a week, with Sunday shopping between 11am and 5pm.

    Rundle Mall / Street: Beehive Corner
  • Tip Rating:
  • The Beehive building was erected in 1895-96, and adopted it's name from the former building on the site which dated back to the 1840s.

    Really quite a unique look.

    Rundle Mall / Street: Shopping in Adelaide
    If you have a wife or girlfriend in tow, how can you miss Rundle Street Mall. It's Adelaide city's main shopping drag and on the eastern end of Rundle Street and Frome Street is the great cafe and food district of Adelaide. There are numerous cheap eats to be found here. For pizzas and pasta, try the Amalfi...the Marinara pasta was excellent although i found their signature pepper and salt calamari abit too overrated and small in portion.
