We were excited and nervous when we found out we were getting a crack at Adelaide Oval Roof climb last week. I bought my 14 year old nephew a voucher for Christmas which I now know is the ULTIMATE present for the kid who has everything! Got a birthday coming up this year for a tricky to buy for teen.......this is it! (note: children 8-15 need an adult to climb with, but that's all the more fun for you!) There are a range of RoofClimb adventures you can choose from including day climbs, twilight climbs, climb and dinner packages and even watch sporting events from the roof! Our climb took around 90 minutes which included walking onto the Western Stand with great views across Adelaide, over the link bridge to the Riverbank Stand at the Southern end of the oval where we got to sit on the custom built viewing deck and do a bit of hanging out!

The Adelaide Gaol is one of the oldest remaining colonial public buildings in Adelaide and is the site of some of the State's more interesting, grisly past. Experience what life was like behind bars for the prisoners who once called the Adelaide Gaol their home. The Adelaide Gaol housed some of the state's most notorious and dangerous criminals. Almost 300,000 prisoners whiled away some time at His (or Her) Majesty's pleasure, and 45 unfortunates were executed within its walls - including the only woman to be executed in South Australia. Approximately 300,000 prisoners passed through the Gaol during its working years and 45 people were executed. Their bodies are buried within the grounds of the Gaol. The first public hanging took place in November 1840 while the site was still under construction.
