flowers to brighten up a cold winter day
they grow on long stalks
Parliament House
A Royal Lion
He has come a long way to be here.
It is a pity the well travelled lion is tucked away behind bushes. He is easy to miss if you are not looking for him.
The imposing War Memorial
The back of the Memorial is just as impressive.
inside - the tragic lists from Gallipoli
Matthew Flinders without his boat
The water feature in front of the Gallery
From a distance they look like seats - there must be the occasional wet bottom
Student accommodation - I like the modern building
The Gallery, Museum and University area is very well presented
I love these flowers!
Isn't it incredible?
Loved the pictures of Adelaide – the flowers are spectacular. Do you know when you are going to Lucca.
We leave here on the 9th Sept. and will be in Lucca
from the 24th – 28th Sept.
We are experiencing the hottest summer ever in the USA.

Wow, Deb, you’ve got a sharp eye for detail! I’ve lived in Adelaide for 29 years and didn’t notice that plague about the old lion. Just shows we need to keep our eyes open when exploring our lovely city.
The water feature in front of the museum and art gallery is a popular place for children. They often run their fingers through the water and splash out. Even the occasional adult can’t resist the same urge!
I don’t know the botanic name for the red flowers, but we call them “red hot pokers”. You’ve done Adelaide proud in bringing out some of the beauties of our city. Thanks, Deb.
