Low and finely detailed groundcover hovring above the gravel path in the Mediterranean Garden of the Adelaide Botanic Gardens.
Last minute decision last night to head up to a lookout and shoot what looked like a promising sunset over Adelaide city. I left the house in such a rush I forgot to take any filters - so this is a bit blown out, shooting nearly directly into the sun, but the sunrays through Adelaide's city centre were a treat.
Reflection of the entrance to the Adelaide Central Plaza in the stainless steel sculpture (aptly named Malls Balls) of two balls, one balanced on top of the other.
It is situated in the middle of Rundle Mall -- the main city shopping mall, with wide paved street filled with trees, lamp posts, benches, buskers, and the occassional bike trailer selling food.
Adelaida, AUSTRÀLIA 2023
Adelaide Gaol, located in Australia, was one of the first prisons built in the state of South Australia in 1841. It operated as a correctional facility for over 140 years, closing its doors in 1988. It is known for housing notorious criminals and being the site of multiple executions. Today, it serves as a historic site and museum, offering guided tours to explore its architecture, prisoner stories, and impact on the city's development. It is also famous for tales of paranormal activity, attracting both historians and ghost hunters alike.
Adelaide once had an extensive tram network, but as in Sydney, the network was shut down and replaced with buses. These days, Adelaide has a useful tram service that operates through the city centre and inner suburbs. Trams are free to ride in the city centre of Adelaide, the trams are modern and new; what's not to like.
The Adelaide to Melbourne rail line makes a scenic and controversial route through the Adelaide Hills. This section is at Heathfield just east of Mt Lofty Station.
AUSTRÀLIA B/N 2023
Adelaide Arcade
The elegant Adelaide Arcade is a beautiful and intriguing example of South Australia’s living history. Opened in December 1885 to widespread acclaim, its distinctive domes, ornate details, and architectural grandeur had never before been seen in Adelaide.
It took 200 workers an unprecedented five months to complete Adelaide Arcade and the adjoining Gay’s Arcade. Considered extremely progressive at the time, new building materials and techniques were used, and it was one of the very first buildings in Adelaide to have electric lights. Featuring Carrara marble floors, glass-panelled ceilings, and extra-wide promenades, the Adelaide Arcade was a place of opulence.
The official opening reflected this grandeur, with street closures, crowds of onlookers, a visit from the Governor, and an orchestra playing ‘The Adelaide Arcade Polka’, especially composed for the occasion.
At the time of its opening, the Arcade housed 50 shops. Store owners would retail their wares from the ground floor, while their workrooms, accessed via an internal staircase, were located above on the first floor. The addition of a balcony level in 1968 doubled the number of stores in the Adelaide Arcade and provided the beautiful aesthetic we still enjoy inside the Arcade to this day.
In a life spanning three centuries, Adelaide Arcade has been home to many interesting tenants. One of the most exotic was the Turkish Baths, where you had your choice of warm baths for a shilling or Turkish baths for four shillings. Beneath the main floor was an underground chamber where patrons could enjoy refreshments. While the entrance was closed for many years, the tea rooms are now visible through a glass floor that has been built over the original ironwork staircase.
The uniqueness of the Adelaide Arcade doesn’t reside solely with the retailers. Did you know the Arcade has its own Coat of Arms, visible beneath the domes? Or that the fountain at the Rundle Mall entrance moved homes many times before finally coming to rest in its current location? The Balconette at the Grenfell Street end was designed as an orchestral gallery where bands played, and grand balls were held in Gay’s Arcade. The Arcade also saw the unfortunate and gruesome death of the resident caretaker in 1887… rumour has it his ghost still walks the promenade at night.
The Arcade has seen many changes through the years, from the addition of central trading booths in the thirties, the introduction of the balcony level in the sixties, and a major fire in the eighties. Over the years, however, the Arcade has been lovingly restored to its nineteenth-century glory and maintains its position as the luxurious heart of Adelaide’s central retail precinct.

Adelaide, city - later afternoon.
I've photographed this wall and tree before. The light in the afternoon is so often very beautiful with the shadowcast.
Marker for Adelaide's loop walking trail of over 100km that takes in the coast, waterways and hills.
Adelaide railway station is currently in full view as a large construction project is underway to make a new Festival Square public area.
Twilight over Adelaide through the trunk of the sole tree at the top of Brown Hill
Trying to get the tree in focus is almost impossible. I made a decent effort using f10.

Zoom in, it's really big. ^^

Sir Samuel Way Building, Adelaide
Walking the bridge along the way from my apartment to Central Business District, I have to cross a pedestrian walk way over the bridge so I took on every occasion my handheld Olympus infrared camera waiting for the right skyline to take a shot of the view from the bridge. A beautiful area to begin with, the bridge host an entry to a hiking and cycling trails that span from Adelaide Hills to Henley Beach, about 26K stretch. It is a super scenic trail for anyone visiting this area and it was a home for me and my wife to do 16K walking every weekend, I will miss this place when I leave here.
Sunday morning taken from the hills. Adelaide looking like SimCity 2000.
Its usualy pretty hazy over the city but some sunlight poked out from the clouds and brielfy illuminated the city's taller buildings.

Here is a shot that gives the boats some scale.
Wyatt Street, Adelaide CBD
The former Adelaide Brewery buildings at 50-62 Wyatt Street, Adelaide city, state heritage listed in 1986, were linked to brewing in the South Australian colony from the 1840s.
The Pirie Street Brewery, on the Wyatt Street corner, was operated from 1847 by James Walsh on land originally granted in 1837 to William Wyatt by the colony’s resident commissioner James Hurtle Fisher. The brewery, a “brick building, brewery and malting house with large sunk beer cellars and store with wood cottage”, wasn’t popular with nearby residents and, in 1852, Walsh sold the brewery business to William Knox Simms and John Hayter.
Samuel Humble joined the business in 1853 and it traded as Simms & Humble until 1854, when the partnership (then including pastoralist James Cambers) was dissolved. Simms, having began his brewing career here, went on to consolidate West End Brewery in Hindley Street that he sold in 1888 to the new South Australian Brewing Co. Ltd.. Simms also was connected with the Waverley breweries of West Terrace and Mitcham, and the Halifax Street Brewery (now site of the former city destructor).
W.H. Clark, who built the West End Brewery, also occupied the Wyatt Street brewery briefly in 1858. That year, South Australian Register, advertised the Pirie Street Brewery “to be let with right of purchase” by James Walsh, who now owned the property and became a large shareholder in the Kadina and Wallaroo Railway Company. The buildings were occupied in 1860-61 by E.J.F. Crawford of the Hindmarsh and Halifax Street breweries.
In 1862, Walsh leased the Pirie Street Brewery to James Syme and Frederick Sison, who were "brewers at the adjacent brewery". In 1871, Syme, a Scotsman who’d worked for John Primrose’s Union Brewery, and Sison bought a small section of the buildings, continuing to lease the rest of the premises until buying it all in 1873.
This is when the business became known as the Adelaide Brewery. Syme and Sison revived and expanded it to a well-equipped brewing operation in the 1870s and the business successfully supplied city hotels including the Queen's Arms in Wright Street, the Somerset at the corner of Pulteney and Flinders streets, and the White Conduit House Hotel in North Street.
The brewery was virtually rebuilt in this era, with stables and offices constructed by Thomas Martin at a cost of £300 to Daniel Garlick's design. In 1872, Charles Farr erected a malthouse and cellar to Garlick's design and, in 1876, again to Garlick's design, a cellarage, stores, malting floor, malt kiln and bottling rooms were constructed by Brown and Thompson.
Syme and Sison carried on the business until they retired in 1882 when they sold to Andrew McIntyre, William Wicksteed and Henry Anthony, none of them having any brewing experience and continuing to trade as Syme & Sison. Wicksteed and Anthony were found insolvent in 1886. The Adelaide Brewery was bought “on very advantageous terms” by the South Australian Brewing Company in 1902 and it was closed around this time.
The buildings became commercial warehouses, with an extension and new frontage on Pirie Street around 1910. The printers Hunkin, Ellis & King occupied the Pirie Street premises from 1924 to 1974. In 1982, Kenneth Milne Architects refurbished the building, with Samuel Hill Smith buying it for an art gallery from 1983 to 2019.
The new engineering consultancy partnership of Wallbridge and Gilbert moved into the historic Wyatt Street brewery buildings in 1982 and bought them in 1991.
