The word Mall comes from "The Mall" at Buckingham Palace and Pall Mall so it's very British. The Americans say Mall meaning a Shopping Mall whereas Aussies usually call that a Shopping Centre. In Australia a Mall generally means a street with no cars primarily a place for walking and window shopping.

Came out to Australia from London UK in 1972, a young man of 21. Spent two years travelling around Australia, whent to every state and capital city in the country. Finished up settling in Adelaide, a great lifestyle, great beaches, a city that is easy to get around. Great weather, very mild winters. It's just a great place to live , and of course some of the best wineries in the world .

Charlie and Rob, my top tip for visiting Adelaide would be to go on the dolphin cruise, early mornings. You can choose the boat ticket, or the swim ticket. I think you get the best views on the boat ticket. The company is called Temptation Sailing, the catamaran leaves from Glenelg, marine biologists guide you on the three hour cruise. (Doesn’t run during winter, book first.).

So glad you love my home city of Adelaide…I’ve stayed at the oval hotel…it’s really lovely and you have breakfast overlooking the oval…really special. Next time, maybe go up into the hills if you’ve not been there before. You can go to Mt Lofty Botanical Gardens, Cleland and Hahndorf…which is really busy, packed with tourists on the weekend. You can go strawberry picking at Beerenberg at Hahndorf. There are loads of wineries too. It’s about 20 minutes from the city to the beach and 20 minutes from the city to Hahndorf but to go north or south is longer. Thanks for posting this. 😊

Adelaide is by far the best city in Australia and one of the best in the world. I’ve been to 40 different countries always loved coming back Adelaide. I hope we never become a republic I can’t think of one republic in the world I would want to be like. We know we are better off as we are. God forbid that we should turn into the US of A, we don’t have high streets. There are heaps of restaurants You obviously didn’t go the whole length of the mall. Lots of little cafes and restaurants.

The 20 minute rule tends to apply to East to West traffic.If you go North or South to the outer suburbs, it will take you probably more like 45 Minutes, but heavy peak hour traffic can increase that slightly. Adelaide is often thought of a very large country town because of its accessibility and easy travel time for a lot of the City.

Adelaide was named for the Queen consort at the time. Victoria was the future queen,. There would have been a lot of interest in the British monarchy. After George 111 and his mental health issues, the regency and the short reign of George 4, short reign of William 4/ 4 monarchs within 35 years . Certainly big influencers of the day. queen Adelaide was well loved. We were told in history class that she was instrumental in keeping William in check to get him over the time needed for Victoria to be old enough ( to not need another regency.) If Victoria’s mother had taken over spas reagent she would have been heavily influenced by her Svengali like advisor. Who knows how things had turned out. We, thankfully, will never know.

Looks like the flies are attracted to your scent Rob lol. Charlie's laughing in the background like you did when the magpie attacked her.😆 A shopping centre in Australia is a big indoor one stop shop with supermarkets, cafes , restaurants, medical centres and all the departments stores And independent shops. Americans call shopping centres "malls". We call the open plaza like shopping precincts - a Mall. Brisbane has Queen Street mall, Sydney has Pitt Street mall and so on. And with some of these mall's there are arcades and mini shopping centres on the sides if you look carefully. And you'll find restaurants and cafes in some of them. While online has grown a lot in Australia especially during covid, I guess we do still like to shop at the shops. We're an outdoorsy society, we like to get out and about.

The history of the word "mall" has less to do with shopping centres or high streets than is realised. The name mall comes from a 16th Century Italian game that resembled croquet and was played in alleys. The Italian name was pallamaglio ("palla" being ball and "maglic" being mallet). The French adopted the game as "pallamaille" and in 17th Century England it was adopted as pall mall. The alley in which the game was played became known as a mall. The street Pall Mall in London was originally one of the alleys. The Mall in London between Buckingham Palace and Trafalgar Square is also so named because it was once an alley in which pall mall was played. When interest in the game waned the alleys were refashioned into landscaped and tree-lined places for promenading and socialising. The National Mall in Washington DC is an example of this. By the mid-20th Century the word "mall" began to be applied to other outdoor spaces, including shopping malls or shopping centres. The obvious connection between the original use of the word mall and its more recent use is in the reshaping of public spaces for socialising and recreation - hence most Australian cities and towns that removed cars from their major shopping streets renamed the spaces as malls (e.g. Pitt Street Mall (Sydney), Bourke Street Mall (Melbourne), Rundle (Street) Mall, Adelaide , Queen Street Mall, Brisbane because without cars the spaces were expected to become more social. Its usage in relation to shopping centres in North America still follows this as it speaks to the commercialisation of public social space and shopping as recreation. Australians informally refer to enclosed major shopping centres as "malls" in the same sense as is it used on the US, it is simply not as common to include the word "mall" in the name. But there are exceptions, e.g. Westfield Warringah Mall.

I seem to be in the minority, (I'm South Australian) but I've always felt that the Oval redevelopment is only 75% complete. To me the Cathedral end missing a stadium is like missing jigsaw puzzle piece. I know its because the scoreboard is heritage listed and cannot be touched. But I wish we could somehow incorporate it.

It's not just the scoreboard though. The experience on the hill is so baked into our football culture that people will riot if the government tries to get rid of it. It's what makes the Oval special.

no, Amazon is big online and most people have switched to online since the covid thing.I rarely go to a supermarket and use Coles and Woolworths for my groceries, every thing else I buy is online . My wife works in a large Shopping Centre and it's always crowded .

Amazon Sydney & Melbourne have 50 acre robot operated logistics centres plus smaller sites across the cities. Am tends to be a bit pricier than shops. Nearly all my purchases are online e.g. food and o/s from USA, Germany, Croatia, UK recently. Cities used to be a lot smaller with light traffic so speeds were higher. Now even on weekends Melb is a huge traffic jam. High immigration killed it. Country towns are booming as people escape.

I might only be speaking for myself, but we don't call them "malls" - we call them 'shopping centres'. Mall is an American term. Mate, get some Aerogard; it repels flies. Get the roll on...

Yea but shopping center is an indoor building like how the yanks call them malls. I had stuff on and it did nothing 🤬

@CharlieandRob It's also what you call 'High Street'. A 5 min drive from home will take me to what we call 'the local shopping centre' It's a 2km strip of shops, cafes, restaurants etc. Most large suburbs here would have them. It didn't work? I'm surprised 😮 Maybe Adelaide flies are resistant....either that, or they have a vendetta against you...

A mall is a shopping centre in Melbourne. Perhaps it's the lack of cars that makes it a mall? To me, "Rundell Mall" shopping strip.
