Cool sights, cool stories

Adelaide history is full of interesting stories, and students can explore the importance of the city’s history through both the essential facts and fun tales. Culture plays its part as we begin at the Mall’s Balls, exploring Adelaide Arcade before we wander past Parliament House, Town Hall and Victoria Square.

This is a fun way for students to interact with Adelaide – getting an introduction to important figures, how the city grew and why it is like it is today. The 90-minute walk around the city also incorporates a tram ride.

Students are encouraged to engage through taking photos, asking and answering questions, and taking part in a quiz along the route.

Start and end points

We start at the Mall's Balls in Rundle Mall. We end in Victoria Square at the Queen Victoria statue.
