 The city of Adelaide is located in South Australia. Robert Mammone was born there and has returned many times since for filming purposes (Spank! and Heavens Burning) and visits.
************************************************************
Adelaide was founded by Colonel William Light who arrived in Australia in 1836, to survey the area. It was named after Queen Adelaide and the photo at left depicts Lights Vision of Adelaide. There is a statue of the founder in North Adelaide. The city is built upon a square-based plan. It's four boundaries are named North, South, East and West Terrace.
************************************************************
The city itself is called 'The City of Churches' due to the large number of such buildings present. It is also famous for its parks and gardens. The Botanic Gardens, Adelaide Zoo and Torrens River are all within walking distance of the city centre.
************************************************************
It's a wonderfully pretty place to live. The mixture of flora, fauna, historical architecture and laid-back lifestyle are very appealing. I can honestly state that the saying "You can get to anywhere in Adelaide in under 20 minutes" is very true!
