Maps
Adelaide is a facinating city to visit, one of only two where the central business district is surrounded completely by park lands. Below are a number of maps to help you navigate this fairly quiet and peaceful city. One thing to make particular note of is the location of the TableTop 2006 conference. The conference is located at the Mawson Lakes campus of the University of South Australia, in the suburb of Mawson Lakes. This campus is 12km (7miles) from the centre of the city. Hence it's not walking distance from Adelaide.
