Yep, Adelaide is north of Canberra.
This is probably only interesting to a particular band of people, specifically those who know not too much, and not too little Australian geography. For what it’s worth, Adelaide is where I grew up, and I now live in Canberra, the capital of Australia.
I’ve always found it a little surprising but I don’t know why really. It just feels wrong somehow, but is quite clear when you look at a map. Even though Canberra’s colder (mostly due to being high up and away form the ocean), it feels like it should be further north. Then again, Adelaide is pretty much level with Sydney, and Canberra’s obviously south of Sydney, so maybe I just haven’t spent enough time with a map.
It seems like a lot of other people are suprised by this as well however. Maybe it’s something to do with Adelaide being the state capital of South Australia. In fact, I don’t think I’ve ever met anyone who wasn’t surprised when I told them this - though maybe I’ve just been choosing my victims carefully
