Adelaide (/ˈædɪleɪd/ (
listen) AD-il-ayd;[9][10] Kaurna: Tarntanya) is the capital city of South Australia,[11] the state’s largest city and the fifth-most populous city in Australia. “Adelaide” may refer to either Greater Adelaide (including the Adelaide Hills ) or the Adelaide city centre. The demonym Adelaidean is used to denote the city and the residents of Adelaide. The Traditional Owners of the Adelaide region are the Kaurna people.[12][13][14] The area of the city centre and surrounding Park Lands is called Tarndanya in the Kaurna language.[15]
Adelaide is situated on the Adelaide Plains north of the Fleurieu Peninsula, between the Gulf St Vincent in the west and the Mount Lofty Ranges in the east. Its metropolitan area extends 20 km (12 mi) from the coast to the foothills of the Mount Lofty Ranges, and stretches 96 km (60 mi) from Gawler in the north to Sellicks Beach in the south.
Named in honour of Queen Adelaide, the city was founded in 1836 as the planned capital for the only freely-settled British province in Australia.[16] Colonel William Light, one of Adelaide’s founding fathers, designed the city centre and chose its location close to the River Torrens. Light’s design, now listed as national heritage, set out the city centre in a grid layout known as “Light’s Vision”, interspaced by wide boulevards and large public squares, and entirely surrounded by park lands.
Hobart (/ˈhoʊbɑːrt/ (listen) HOH-bart;[5] Nuennonne/Palawa kani: nipaluna) is the capital and most populous city of the Australian island state of Tasmania.[6] Home to almost half of all Tasmanians, it is the southernmost and least-populated Australian state capital city, and second-smallest if territories are taken into account, before Darwin, Northern Territory.[2] Hobart is located in Tasmania’s south-east on the estuary of the River Derwent, making it the most southern of Australia’s capital cities. Its skyline is dominated by the 1,271-metre (4,170 ft) kunanyi/Mount Wellington,[7] and its harbour forms the second-deepest natural port in the world,[8] with much of the city’s waterfront consisting of reclaimed land.[9] The metropolitan area is often referred to as Greater Hobart, to differentiate it from the City of Hobart, one of the seven local government areas that cover the city.[2] [10] It has a mild maritime climate.
