Visitors to Australia with an interest in renewable energy may find themselves fascinated by the prospect of seeing a race with a difference.

Adelaide may no longer host the Australian Grand Prix, but it does mark the finishing post in a car race held from October 21st to 28th 2007, in which cars running purely on the power of the sun hurtle through the outback all the way down from Darwin at the top end of the country.

The biennial World Solar Challenge takes place this year for the 20th time and showcases the latest in state-of-the-art solar car technology, as well as an exciting finish as the winning car literally gets to enjoy its day in the sun.

While visitors staying in cheap hotels in Adelaide can marvel at the possibilities for the future of car travel, the city itself offers a variety of attractions.

There are many fine beaches, including Glenelg which can be reached by the one remaining tram service in the city, a vast range of restaurants, acres of parkland in the heart of the city and the beautiful Adelaide hills.

A quick day trip north also offers the chance to tour the famous Barossa Valley and its wineries.
