Adelaide Street Art

Like most cities Adelaide has its share of murals. I really love wandering around the city and coming across these works of art down little side streets, on old buildings, fences,old walls - anywhere.

The pictures speak for themselves. I only wish I could tell you more about the street artists who created them. This first set is actually in the city centre. Adelaide's city centre is the square mile which was originally set out by Colonel William Light. It was planned as a neat grid of streets surrounded by parklands. In each of the four corners is a park area known as a"square". It is a very simple plan and makes navigating around the city very easy and uncomplicated, especially compared with other Australian capital cities which were unplanned and just 'grew'.

On the corner of Waymouth and Tatham Streets

Anster Street, just off Waymouth Street

I couldn,t fit this large mural in one shot, so you will just have to imagine them joined.

 This mural is in a lane just off the east end of Rundle Street.

And another one in a lane off Rundle Street east. The lanes are so narrow that it is difficult getting a good shot. This beauty is in three parts

This last one is part of a larger mural in Light Square.














While the street names won't mean much to most of my readers, they may help locals find some of these lovely examples of Adelaide street art.  More next time.
