Swimming in Winter

Can't think of what to do in Adelaide on the weekend? Every Friday we'll provide you with a "Friday Fantastic" idea!

Like Swimming? Too cold to swim yourself?  Then this weekend is perfect for you!

The 2011 Australian Short Course Championships

The championships are on at the SA Aquatic and Leisure Centre from 1st of July to the 3rd.  If you're anything like us, you miss Summer.  Heading out to Oaklands Park for the meet may bring back memories of swimming down the bay on a warm summer's day.  Still, don't lose yourself in your imagination.  We suggest leaving you bathers at home, leave the budgie smugglers to the professionals.

So if you've always sat around the telly watching swimming during The Olympics or Commonwealth games, why not do something different and see it live!  You can find out more at Swimming Australia.


Whatever you do, be sure to let us know how your weekend went!

Can't think of what to do in Adelaide on the weekend? Every Friday we'll provide you with a "Friday Fantastic" idea!

Keen on orchestral music? Need an excuse to not have dinner with the in-laws?

Well, the Adelaide Youth Orchestra this weekend celebrates its 10th concert at the Adelaide Town Hall.  What a perfect opportuinty to celebrate with them! 

10 years ago, AdYO held its inaugural concert with a performance of Respighi's Pines of Rome. Now, they are welcoming home one of their most successful graduates, internationally acclaimed cellist Pei Sian Ng.  Performance will include Tchaikovsky's Variations on a Rococo theme to celebrate their 10 years.  Mmm, sounds spicy!


For further information and bookings, visit the SA site.

We wouldn't want you choking on your mother-in-laws overcooked T-bone steak now would we?  We aim to please to find you any excuses for something else to do in Adelaide this weekend.

The Body, Mind and Psychic Expo

Can't think of what to do in Adelaide on the weekend? Every Friday we'll provide you with a "Friday Fantastic" idea!

Body, Mind and Psychic Expo

Ahh the mystery that surrounds the Wayville showgrounds, where one weekend a year comes the Body, Mind and Psychic Expo.

This weekend, the expo is on again.

The place goes nuts!  There is room for 300 stalls at the expo, with tarot readers, palmistry experts, crystal ball readers, ghost whispers and the slightly odd face readers. Odd because most people can read faces, I'm sure, so that seems quite intruiging.

What I have always been concerned with the expo though, and what I am sure is a running joke in South Australia, is why do the psychic's bother with events such as these?  They should be raking in the dollars with their psychic powers!  If they were psychic, why are they not giving out the lottery numbers to charities, or point on a map where Black Beard's long lost treasure is? This may be worthwhile to challenge a Psychic, to guess how many coins riside in your wallet, that if they guess it, they are pshychic!  Then demand to know where Black Beard's booty is.. A-HARR!

But I am certain I am missing the point about this expo. It's more about learning a culture and a way of life.  It is to learn of goods such as health products and lotions.  Learn of massages, reflexology and aromatherapy.

To learn more, visit the expo's website.  Get along this weekend for something a little bit different.

Whatever you do, be sure to let us know how your weekend went!
