As the clock struck midnight and the fireworks danced over the River Torrens, Adelaide bid farewell to 2023, welcoming 2024 with open arms and a list of resolutions longer than the queues at the Fringe Festival. Let's look lightheartedly at what Adelaideans have pledged to conquer in the year ahead!
Mastering the Art of Four Seasons in One Day
Adelaideans are famous for experiencing all four seasons in a single day. This year, the resolution is clear: perfect the art of dressing in layers so impeccable that even Mother Nature applauds.
Surviving Mad March Without Losing My Mind
With festivals, concerts, and events galore, March in Adelaide is a mad whirlwind of excitement. This year, the resolution is to navigate through Mad March without losing a car in the Fringe parking maze or accidentally joining a parade on Rundle Street.
Discovering the Secret Shortcut Through the Adelaide Oval
Adelaide Oval is a maze for the uninitiated. This year, locals pledge to find the mythical secret shortcut that seems to be known only to seagulls and a select few seasoned cricket fans.
Perfecting the Art of 'Fringe Fashion'
March brings the Adelaide Fringe Festival, and this year resolves to embrace 'Fringe Fashion' with bold outfits, glitter, and accessories that scream, "I'm here for a good time!"
Surviving Daylight Saving Time Without Confusion
When daylight saving time kicks in, confusion reigns supreme. Adelaideans aim to set their clocks forward or backward this year without accidentally arriving at brunch during dinner hours.
Navigating The Britannia Roundabout Without Getting Dizzy
This notorious roundabout can be disorienting for the uninitiated. Locals pledge to navigate the Britannia without getting dizzy or accidentally finding themselves on Adelaide's outskirts.
Hosting the Ultimate 'AFL Grand Final BBQ'
For the ultimate Aussie experience, locals resolve to host the top 'AFL Grand Final BBQ,' complete with themed snacks, footy-shaped burgers, and a halftime sausage sizzle extravaganza.
Embarking on the 'Adelaide Coffee Expedition'
In 2024, make it a resolution to embark on the 'Adelaide Coffee Expedition.' Explore every nook and cranny of the city in search of hidden coffee gems, turning each cup into a discovery and each café into a waypoint on your caffeine map.
Support Local In 2024
In 2024, pledge to support local businesses and artisans. Explore neighbourhood markets, dine at locally-owned eateries, and choose Australian-made products, contributing to the growth of local communities.
Establish a 'Ramsay Street Social Club'
Channel your inner Karl and Susan Kennedy by establishing a 'Ramsay Street Social Club.' Meet your neighbours and create a central gathering spot where you can meet for a chat, exchange local gossip, or enjoy a cuppa and debate the Neighbors vs Home and away dilemma.
Road Trip Across the Great State
South Australia's vast landscapes offer endless road trip possibilities. Plan a road trip to explore different towns and regions, discover hidden gems, meet locals, and create memories as you traverse this vast and beautiful continent.
Conclusion: As Adelaide embraces the opportunities and challenges of 2024, these resolutions are not just goals; they are a testament to the unique and lively spirit of the city. Here's to a year filled with laughter, discovery, and achieving those resolutions with a touch of South Australian flair!
