Guidebook for Leabrook
Food Scene
Arguably best coffee in Adelaide. Decent cakes and sweets too. Small meals (sandwiches etc.) available too. Adelaide loves small coffee joints with their own coffee blends, and Taylor blend is really up there! Make sure you bring cash as they are notoriously quick and love to accept cash over card. $5 for a large coffee.

Parks & Nature
I've put this as hiking trail - it's not really. It's a somewhat steep walk - lots of runners go up and down, but you can take it as a leisurely walk. At the base is the iconic Waterfall Gully featured in our photos. Really nice walk. :)

This is a creek that winds between beautiful houses. It is a bit of a hide and seek the first time you walk along it as it disappears behind houses and then reappears as you walk further along. From home, walk to Glynburn Road and cross Glynburn Road. Turn right and walk up Glynburn Road about 50 meters and there is a little entrance to the creek walk on the left side of the road. The full walk takes about 40 minutes.

Arts & Culture
Museum and Art Gallery are near each other on North Terrace. Adelaide has a lot of seasonal events to do with Art and Culture, particularly in Late Feb. / March. We are a direct 20 minute bus ride away from the Garden of Unearthly Delights, the heart of the Adelaide Fringe.

Sightseeing
Adelaide Central Markets, open from early in the morning on specific mornings (check google!), are a great place to go for fresh produce that you probably have a hard time sourcing elsewhere, as well as coffee and food and general shopping. Fun place to go and hang out for a bit.
Of note are the Asian Grocers here, with probably the two biggest Asian Supermarkets here, which are a great place to go for cheap and fresh produce and cookware etc.
