[Amara]

Adelaide isnt known for its celebrities, especially not internationally. Ones that I can think of:

Lleyton Hewitt - psycho, agro tennis player. Lots of us dont like him.
Jeffrey Smart - artist.
Guy Sebastian - winner of Australian Idol. Has big hair.
Hilltop Hoods - one of the better known south aussie hip-hop names.
Gianna - went on Big Brother. Flashed her arse everywhere. Was voted out. Her name is really Janie and her horses always escaped and came to my house.

I'm sure there are more interesting ones than that. That's all I could think of though.
