Adelaide Christmas tree and light adventure

We had been hoping to get around to doing a few things in the city and time was running out, so we took off into town after dinner last night, made use of the free parking on Plane Tree drive (Botanic Park) and gave the feet something to do.

The Art of Christmas is a trail of small Christmas trees (12 in total) which are in place until the end of the year.

We started at the old RAH site and worked our way down North Terrace.
On the way we discovered the interesting covering on the old East wing of the RAH.

Also saw the golden portal container which is an interesting idea that will appeal to some.
Personally, we are happy to try connecting to the people in our local area and the ones we haven't been spending enough time with already.

We were a little early to get a really good look at the visual display (story wall) which is projected on to the side of the state library building on North Terrace.

As it got darker we headed up King William St to opposite the Town Hall to enjoy the projections there.

before following the lights to the Big Christmas tree in Victoria Square, where the kids were playing in the water playground and the Tree was doing it's thing.  On a balmy evening, sitting watching the kids have their simple fun and wondering at the lights was great. 

We made our way back down Peel street, to the Railway station (another Christmas tree) before heading through to the riverbank , where we walked west to the Morphett Street bridge, admiring the light on the Torrens

 and the crazy Pinky Flat Urban Beach, before doubling back to Adelaide Oval, down to the Zoo Bridge (Albert Bridge?) and wandering our way back through Botanic Park to the car. 

I tried to mark a sort of trail of where we went.

Another excellent way to get in our daily exercise.
