I have lived all over the world........but ADELAIDE will always be home !!!!!!!!!!! I am back here now

[@gillianbrookwell1678]

We lived in Adelaide when moving from the UK, but haven't lived there since 1977, and yet I remember all the street names like it was yesterday.

[@Theghostswithin]

Great effort who ever put this together !! Wonderful history and views....we move forward..but too many amazing buildings lost to time

[@sweetchartreux7380]

Some of these heritage buildings pulled down were actually very beautiful and worth keeping.. What a waste indeed..

[@harmony9294]

My thoughts too, hopefully the ones left will be preserved.

[@AmandaSmith-sb9qf]

[@aussiedigg]

Even these photos are out OF date 20 yrs out of date

[@ronan7695]

2012 is just another ‘then’ at this point!

[@tonganmami1716]

Oh so no change at all😂

[@dunebuggy2317]

such a unique city,pitty drugs and crime have destroyed it,i guess same goes for alot of little citys around the world

[@samgrasta361]

Michael Lee It is sad,and i wish people from Melbourne would stop coming here

[@marcopolo3001]

Stagnation has destroyed it more.

[@Bootyhunter70]

Thank the labor govt.

[@robcheerful]

ehm it's not destroyed. Check it out.

[@o8thman812]

Glad them early buildings with their intricate ornamental facades are gone. All replaced by cold concrete blandness totally void of any features. Good job..

[@njsmith1961]

Oh FFS at 2:54 "Parlaiment House" how about using a spell checker?

[@Dave.S.TT600]

Great insight. You're special

[@AshAlmond1]

it's still a big country town!

[@greatape5305]

Ash Almond that's good! fuck stinky hazy Sydney

[@AshAlmond1]

I agree, Sydney sucks, Melbourne is more liveable! Adelaide is quite cute I must say.

[@iggyblitz8739]

I prefer to think of it as a village city or a small city.

[@sweetchartreux7380]

I would rather live in this big country town than the filthy and noisy big cities Sydney and Melbourne.. 😝😝

[@tonganmami1716]

So there you have it you have seen every corner of the entire city! Nothings changed 🤣😅

[@GraftedOliveBranch]

Adelaide is full of weirdos, thats what makes it interesting. 😊

[@robcheerful]

Thx 😜

[@casscumerford5886]

I born there in '44---- but I got out fast---went to Sydney----lot of serial killers in Adelaide---one of em ran the kids slippery slide at semaphore carnival in 1960s---name of Crease---newsreader -Kevin on TVs chanel 9's dad he was---but Kevin nice-- ---killer never got caught------but town got 2 good pie carts

[@heatherhall3452]

It wasn’t Kevin Crease’s son, it was Rob Kelvin’s son - Richard Kelvin, yes his killer was caught and still jailed today Bevan Spencer Von einem - was sentenced in 1984 to a minimum 24 years jail, later increased to 36 years for the murder of Richard Kelvin, and the rest of the murders they got away with. I’ve just done the math.. the 36 years was expired in 2020, but I highly doubt he would get parole ever!! The cold case was opened in March 2008 with a MILLION DOLLAR 💵 REWARD and immunity (including anyone who may have been an accomplice or have knowledge of the murders) available for anyone who provides information leading to a conviction. And it was a pedophile who worked at the slide at Semaphore beach 🙂 Adelaide is full of pedophiles - same as everywhere else..

[@heatherhall3452]

@Jamie maybe it was at Glenelg ?

[@colinlatham7905]

Glad to see the back of you. You can have Sydney I resided there for a while and came back to Adelaide to LIVE. Unless you think traffic jams are a good thing.

[@petemitchell3067]

Know why god put it at the arse end of the world!

[@MrGoblin60]

I heard the other day that you can buy candles and AA batteries at the border.

[@jamesbarker4054]

The biggest country town on earth!

[@alessiomarin1218]

Not really.

[@colinlatham7905]

Oh you funny

[@jamesbarker4054]

@@colinlatham7905 awe! Thank you

[@Hedgemist]

Ugh

[@marcopolo3001]

1:18 looks the same to be but now in colour! lol Adelaide really needs to grow from a sleepy city of 1.3 million to at least 3-4 million by the middle of the century if it wants to remain relevant. Just look at Perth, set to be a city of 3 million by 2026, and over 5 million by 2050.

[@greatape5305]

Marco Polo who gives a fuck what other cities do!! your comment is not relevant!

[@aussiedigg]

Why? We like not spending all our time travelling to and from work

[@marcopolo3001]

If you want to be stuck in a 1980s timewarp then by all means keep things the same. But I dream of a time when my Adelaide can become synonymous with great cities like Sydney, Paris and Tokyo. It is always better for the economy too the more we grow and become more prosperous. South Australia could be a great place, not the hole it was 30 years ago and the stagnation it has been going through for years that prompted the Federal government to try upping its defense spending to give a slice of that industry to SA. Bloody ridiculous mate. When will Adelaide stand on its own 2 feet and be more productive.

[@thecrazydog2359]

With our government it never will

[@iggyblitz8739]

No way!!!, it's not Sydney and it's not trying to be, no thanks, it could grow a bit more to 2 million but not bloody 3 !!, Not for generations away anyway, and quantity doesn't always equal quality, Adelaide has a lot to offer now, and rapid population growth doesn't always equal better quality of life, Melbourne used to be good but now it's turning to crap. Go live in Sydney or Melbourne if you don't like it.
