ADELAIDE: SCENES FROM A SISTER CITY
DAVID ALEXANDER,
a staff photographer,
recently visited Adelaide and returned with these pictures:-
Christchurch has adopted a number of sister cities throughout the world, but the closest of these is Adelaide, the capital of South Australia, which is claimed to be the driest state in Australia. Some 885,400 people live in the city, which was founded in 1836. The city proper is contained within one square mile surrounded by a belt of parklands. Adelaide used to be known as the City of Churches, because of the number and variety. They are still there, but the city is now called the Festival City. This is a reflection of the biennial Adelaide Festival of Arts, which began in 1960. This has since become Australia’s most important cultural festival.
