Adelaide

A brief history

Kathryn Gargett and Susan Marsden

On 7 February 1837 Colonel Light completed a sketch plan for the ‘town of Adelaide’. This colourful book traces how this vision grew into the attractive and comfortable city we know today.

Photographs, illustrations, a chronology and a map of ‘places to find’ direct readers to Adelaide’s distinctive features – its Aboriginal environment, its plan, its British foundations, its buildings and the growing enjoyment of its cultural diversity.
