We begin the walk on the south side of the river walking past the Weir, under the railroad into Bonython Park. CJ wanted to see what the easing of distancing restrictions did to the weekend crowd. It wasn't as crowded as usual but there were families and children using the playground.
Bonython Park is on the right, the river crosses under the railroad and there is a second bridge and damn at the point where I took the picture. The second picture is looking down river across the small damn. The third picture is proof fall is well underway.
There is a tunnel under the railroad on each side of the river. On the south side it goes from the south river path into Bonython Park and is good for both bike and pedestrian traffic. On the north side of the river it passes from a park into the Adelaide City Par 3 golf course. Below is a picture of the river and Weir from downstream.
The city skyline is changing again. The crane and bronze building are part of the new Sky City complex. It is an expansion of the Adelaide Casino property and brings another hotel, new restaurants, shopping and expanded casino to the festival center precinct.
I have no idea how many times we've walked past this and not noticed it.
This road sign gives the distances to major wine regions in the world. The Casablanca Valley is Chile is 11,819km (7344 mi), Napa is 13,032 km (8098 mi), Bordeaux is 16,394 km (10187 mi), and Porto is 17, 071 km (10607 mi).
This is a picture of three generations of architecture in close proximity. The old Adelaide Casino/Railway Station is sandwiched between the under construction Sky City hotel and the older IHG Intercontinental hotel.
We love walking the city.
