Lots about SA has been left out, seems the person making this video had limited info, say only some basic internet search.
Major items like Flinders Ranges are not mentioned , major Wine industry in Barossa Valley, Adelaide total dependance on Murray river for fresh water, large salt "mining", Largest source for gem Opal to the world, high incidence of great white sharks, kangaroo island. Used to have teo large car factories Holden and Chrysler (became Mitsubishi), but with close of Aust car industry Adelaide has little large manfacturing industry, though many smaller scale industries, plus Naval and military related industries.
In times pre 1980s possibly even a bit after Adelaide was effectively shutdown on Sundays. No open restaurants , no theater/cinemas, no petrol stations open ( had to drive to country areas for fuel), effectively dead on Sundays, probably ideal religious compliance as day of rest.
My father tried for a bit over a year 1968-1969 to move our family to Adelaide, while he ran a Petrol station. The remainder of us refused to move there so he returned to Melbourne.
