Adelaide

We just got to Adelaide on the tail end of a heat wave. It was over 40 degrees the evening we arrived. But after that it has cooled to below 30. Its a nice little city, but there isn't much to do, especially on Good Friday when all the shops were closed.

Adelaide is known for its many churches, and seeing as how its Good Friday I just wandered around taking photos of all the many churches in monuments they have here.


giant ball bearings

A church

a church that is being refaced


another church


yet another church

and here we have... a church!


yet another... oh wait this is actually the state parliament

a war monument


another war monument... this one has an angel on it for some reason.

A fountain
