Foo Fighters have opened a second date in Melbourne.

Mate of mine in Adelaide is quietly seething that they aren't heading there, but "they'll go to the shithole known as Auckland"

Isn’t that the Hutt Valley of Australia ?

Adelaide is great. Not the most amazing CBD, but food and wine is awesome and weather is mint.

Excellent traffic around the CBD tho - there are a lot of little bars and things popping up. It adequately reflects a city of its size.

@voodoo I've only been there once in 06. Thought the Adelaide Hills were nice. The Vineyards are a bit too spread out compared to somewhere like Hawkes Bay or Marlborough. You do get Tiger Snakes in the SA vineyards though - as in just outside the Jacobs Creek Visitors Centre

The CBD itself was OK. Very small. Could park right outside the Adelaide Oval and walk out into the middle and no one would stop you.

Adelaide 16 years ago was summed up for me by the walking tour guidesheet that you could pick up at the Information Centre #14 Patels Supermarket. Since 1998 you can purchase Asian foodstuffs and even rent Indian movies.

So an eight year old Asian grocery was considered by the city authorities one of the city's highlights

Another thought. SA vineyards are very liberal in their interpretation of geographical descriptions like Hill and Valley

Until you get to the Flinders Ranges, there isn't much change in the landscape around those parts. All relative.

But fairly open - I did a day trip in December that was about 870km, took 16 hours but that was with breaks and some forest driving that slowed things down significantly.

Seeing John Mayer at the forum on Sunday. First time. He a pretty good guitarist. Almost as good a Clapton.

Saw Royal Blood at the O2 in London last night. Capacity crowd of 20k. Scribe jnr’s first rock concert and tour t shirt. They put on a great show and included a special 3 min drum solo dedicated to Taylor Hawkins which was epic (Ben Thatcher is bl00dy talented and I think it was a drum solo that TH had previously performed). Ironically, there was a massive backdrop photo of them both (I think from when RB toured with the Foos in 2015?); they both looked completely out of it …

Just getting into RB. Really good band.

The Killers just announced Sydney in Dec. Not the Foos, but think I'll take the fam
