Thankfully the Fringe is over tomorrow - hate walking down the mall and being besieged by facepainted pierced dorks trying to hand me flyers and having to wade through street theatre and pantomime crap

I got that pic from the State Library History page. They say 1895. Happy to be corrected and for the Library also

I looked at an article about R Sewell from 1919 saying he had the shop for 13 years ie 1906. My original post had after 1906. Then I found the pic from the History page

I love Adelaide, it has a charm to it no other Aussie city has.

I love the main train station, sipping coffee I thought Peter Lorre was going to approach me and say "Excuse me, do you have the Maltese Falcon?"

And Glenelg is the most charming and true urban beach in the world.

I could have been walking with Monet in a time when beaches were about freedom and not sex, when I went to Glenelg.

And the tram which stops just before it falls into the sea.


I love Adelaide.

Monash playground was the best, except on hot days when you burnt your skin off on the slides

Yep opposite Castle Plaza , me and 3 mates could finally play a full game of this...

Random thing - Old enough to remember when Castle plaza was " just " TARGET ( and a Red Apple Restaurant ) , locked myself in Mums Volksy and the coppers had to rock up
