Adelaide Parklands

Adelaide City is surrounded by a corridor of parklands; over 7 square kilometres in total. Much of it has been developed into gardens, and the rest is a mix of recreational areas and open bush land.


Both of these photos were taken a couple of weeks ago in the vicinity of South Terrace.

Whispering Wall Mural

Click on the image to enlarge
In St Helen's Park on Prospect Road is the beautiful Whispering Wall mural created by Kaylie Weir. At a time when a lot of Adelaide's parks were parched and dry, this caught my eye; quite refreshing!

Kaylie was commissioned by the Prospect Council to paint a series of public murals in an effort to cut down graffiti tagging.

This public park has barbecue facilities, a drinking fountain, a rotunda, play equipment and seating areas.
