The River Torrens wends its way from the Adelaide Hills out to Spencer Gulf, and it was its presence that decided the place where Adelaide was settled in 1836. A good water supply, that still provides some water to the city and suburbs.
Where it winds its way through the northern edge of the city, it is surrounded by parklands - the Adelaide Festival Theatre over looks the river, and the famed Adelaide Cricket Ground is on the northern edge of the river.
Where it heads out to see, it is rather like a lazy pond - home to a myriad of birds, and surrounded by lush green lawns, cycle and walking paths. I took my camera there early yesterday morning and these are some of the photos.
