Adelaide, South Australia has a population of over 1.1 million, making it smaller than other Australian cities like Sydney , Melbourne, Brisbane or Perth -- but it sure punches above its weight as far being a travel destination. It's a vibrant city with a cosmopolitan outlook and a ring of parks providing plenty of greenery. And events. Oh boy does Adelaide have events.Sporting events in Adelaide include the Adelaide 500, known by its sponsored name, the Clipsal 500. It's a huge V8 Supercar race event -- attended by a massive 291400 spectators in 2008, the event also features concerts every night, air shows, and social events that bring in people from Adelaide, interstate and overseas. Next year’s Clipsal 500 V8 event in Adelaide will run from March 11-14.
It's a great city for arts festivals too. During the 1970s the Adelaide Festival of Arts and Fringe Festival were established, and over the years sister events have emerged, including the Adelaide Cabaret Festival, Adelaide Film Festival, Adelaide Festival of Ideas, Adelaide Writers' Week and WOMADelaide, the WOMAD festival of international music and performance.

I have been General Manager of Motorhome Republic, the operators of this website, for 4 years and with the company for 6 years starting as a Sales / Account Manager. Previous roles have included account manager and software architect for a web design firm, advertising sales across multiple media and television production. I’ve been lucky enough to go Motorhoming several times in Canada, USA and New Zealand so far and grew up going on caravanning holidays with Mum and Dad. The value and freedom Motorhoming offers are its two main drawcards for me. That and the envy on the other campers’ faces when you pull into a State Park campground with no hook ups in a 31’ Class C with double slide outs, on board generator, side awning, exterior entertainment unit and smoker unit for a 10kg salmon caught earlier that day.
I have been in the Motorhome industry for the best part of 6 years and with Motorhomes Republic for the last 18 months. I previously worked for the largest Motorhome rental company in the world as the New Zealand Sales Account Manager. I’ve traveled the length and width of New Zealand in many different categories of Motorhomes, in fact I don’t think there is a main state highway I haven’t driven. The love I have for Motorhomes is one of freedom and flexibility, doing what I want when I want. If I have a hankering for a cup of coffee in a beautiful scenic spot simply stop boil and enjoy….
