The first of a set of 3 photos taken in the city of Adelaide yesterday. The pathway
running alongside the trees is a bike trail.
Before Europeans arrived the Kaurna tribe lived in the Adelaide area. The Indigenous Australians called the Adelaide area Tandanya, which means the Place of the Red Kangaroo.
However in the early 1830s the British drew up plans to settle the area. It was planned the new colony in South Australia would be of free people not convicts.
Surveyor-general William Light selected the site for the capital of the new colony in December 1836.
Adelaide was a planned city and it was named after the wife of King George IV.
