Adelaide: March 19
Figure 1: Adelaide has a quieter, more rustic feel than Melbourne and doesn't have as many high-rise structures. Here's part of the old down-town area of the city.
Figure 2: Here's the modern Adelaide Arts Centre on the Torrens River.
Figures 3 and 4: The Australian Black Swan was swimming in the river near the Arts Centre and the Australian Wood Ducks were grazing on the grassy banks of the river.
Figure 5: These Crested Pigeons were resting on a lawn at the Adelaide Botanical Garden (every city in the British Commonwealth seems to have a sizeable downtown botanical garden).
Figure 6: The Noisy Miner, a relative of the diverse honeyeater family of birds, was robbing nectar from flowers in the botanical garden.
Figure 7: We arrived in Adelaide on the last day of the major arts festival and the smaller fringe festival; this is an image of the entrance to the fringe festival, which was near our hotel.
