Must See Sights and Landmarks in Queenstown Area

"Widely reputed to be the prettiest cricket ground in the world, the Adelaide Oval hosts all kinds of different sporting events throughout the year. Opened in 1871, it still exhibits some incredible Edwardian architecture in places, and its old scoreboard helps retain its charm among the more modern developments. Watching a game of cricket or Australian rules football here is a great way to experience the passion with which Aussies support their local teams."

"The South Australian capital is nicknamed the City of Churches, but its most famous cathedral is dedicated to sport, a venue that routinely draws a crowd of 50,000-plus to worship at the altar of cricket and Australian football.
