In many ways, things here are drawing rapidly to a close. We have now vacated our apartment and are back in Kathleen Lumley College. I propose to post a couple of blogs today showing the scenery as one walks into Adelaide from where we live, followed by another on the subject of our last weekend's trip to Melbourne. We shall then be off to New Zealand.
Behind the tree is the entrance to Mattanya, where we were living.
From there we look along Finniss Street.
Walking along Finniss Street, we pass our local, the British. It serves a decent pint (or schooner) and does good meals.
At the end of Finniss Street one comes to Frome Road. This is looking North towards North Adelaide village.
However, we cross Frome Road and pass the hospital
walking west through some rather nice parkland
and join King William Street. This crosses North Terrace and the residence of the Governor of South Australia is on the corner. I should really have included a view of the State Parliament, too.
Crossing North Terrace, we follow King William Street south. The tram to Glenelg can be seen here.
Turning left, we enter Rundle Mall. This is one of the principal Adelaide shopping streets.
Turning left from Rundle Mall, we re-enter North Terrace opposite the War Memorial. There is a series of public buildings as we walk east along North Terrace.
They start with the State Library
continuing with the South Australia Museum
the Art Gallery
and the Elder Hall, where a lot of the concerts take place.
Final view looking east along North Terrace towards the Adelaide Hills.
