Adelaide is do-able..... run it as a night race on the same weekend as the Clipsal 500. Expand it out to the original full length circuit, as has already been discussed, and effectively all the infrastructure is in place already for the V8 Supercars. And if the fact that the grandstands for the 2010 Clipsal 500 are already 3/4 sold out bothers them, then run it a week later, and sell a whole new lot of tickets. Run the Adelaide Motor Show in the week in between, and with all the other festival stuff on in Adelaide in March, you would have a 10 day Motorsport holiday in Adelaide to blow your mind!
Obviously the night race is to put it on when someone in Europe is actually watching TV....
What would people rather do, go to dreary old Melbourne to see Williams battle Force India, or come back and see how much Adelaide loves big fast loud open-wheel cars? (was going to describe them as "Formula 1" cars, but that obviously wouldn't work!)
