Look how green everything is in this old film. The Parklands look lovely. Not enough rain these days and the Murray is always in danger of running dry.

After coming out from the U K in 1963, I spent my teenage years in Adelaide and have many good memories of it, but now I live in Sunshine Coast, Queensland and prefer it as we get so much rain compared to Adelaide that seems dry much of the year.

I think Adelaide is the only city in Australia in which the people are happy if it rains. It's a very hot, dry state to live in and I don't look forward to Summer's too much, especially in the last 20 years.

Jason, I live in a little town that the Murray River pipeline passes through (between Mannum & Adelaide). I hope you get a chance to visit here someday. I live on a small hobby farm - & would not swap it for anywhere else!! Tiger.

I hope to make it there one day. I don't know when. But I'd certainly try to make it. I've visited so many interesting places in the last several years.

I remember the hoorahing when the Murray pipeline was completed. Didn’t improve the quality of the water, though.

fertilisers run off from farmland along the way, causing algae growth, ad the Carp stir up the bottom of the river. along with pollution from different sources along the way add to the problem. a lot of the old timers say you used to be able to see the bottom back in the old days, sadly you cant anymore.

The city was laid out so well, but neglect of the suburbs lay out is now causing our government to spend billions on expanding roads. What I can't understand is why Bunnings was to be allowed to be built on South Road near Castle Plaza, because of this, we now have to have a tunnel.. Money talks, I guess.
