The Long Weekend

We were lucky enough to find ourselves heading for the big smoke for the long weekend and between birthday parties, doing breakfast and catching up, I did a little exploring with my camera...


sunrise over the River Torrens


Art on the River Torrens


Elder Park Rotunda


one of the locals


we had an excellent view of the football fans on Saturday night!
Adelaide Oval


Adelaide Railway Station
I love the old Seppelts sign


Old Parliament House


State Library

Mortlock Wing, State Library
It's a little step back in time...


some of the titles of these ancient tomes are extremely amusing!

 I love discovering places I have not seen before, like the Mortlock Wing of the State Library or seeing things in a new light as I did on my early morning walk along the River Torrens.

Do you ever play 'visitor' in your town?

    1. Doesn't it Janet!!! I wouldn't have been surprised if I'd seen Professor Flitwick researching something in the back corner 😊
