Ambitions nurtured
And opportunities opened
It’s a place where education and
business intertwine
So careers flourish and the economy thrives
This is a place of inspiration
From lecture theatre to festival stage
Work experience to nature experience
It has Australia’s high education standards
But with a lower Australian cost of living
It’s a place built upon a simple yet
progressive vision
To create a diverse and welcoming environment
Where people can live well
And achieve extraordinary things
This place is Adelaide.
