Humans also walk inside the memorial to view additional exhibits. The streets of Adelaide are very clean. These trash containers are part of the reason.
We thought this trash container is pretty clever
Put trash in one place and cigarette butts in another place and keep Adelaide clean. The Art Gallery of South Australia hosts a special exhibit.

Australia honors many of its outstanding citizens. Adelaide is also home to the premier retail area of South Australia. Rundle Mall became Australia’s first pedestrian mall in 1976. We wandered around Rundle Mall just before sunset.

The street is lined with world famous retail stores.

We like the sculptures also. This fountain appeals to us. We find water soothing.
Water is soothing for us
Malls with flower shops always seem more friendly.
Flowers are so cheerful
Of course, mom found the local chocolate store.
Wonderful chocolate
We are glad she did; the chocolate was delicious. We like Adelaide. Tomorrow we will show you a little more before we leave town.
