Hosted our Cultural Caper walking tour this morning along Adelaide's premier North Terrace, an area which lends itself to bringing history alive. A hot summer's day here in Adelaide with forecast to be 41 degrees C.
Our tours which are hosted on the hotter days allow for a degree of flexibility in that we might start the tour an hour earlier than usual (started at 9 am this morning) so as to avoid as much as possible the higher temperatures.
Also North Terrace luckily has a lot of shady spots which bring the temperatures down substantially as we amble along talking about history, culture and some of the wonderful jewels of architecture along the route.
On this particular tour, we also take the advantage of visiting the wonderful Mortlock wing within the State Library of SA, a welcome relief from the heat. The Mortlock library dates back to 1884 and is believed to be the best example of a Victoriana style library in Australia, as well as being voted as one of the top 20 beautiful libraries in the world.
The Melbourne visitor I hosted had booked the tour, following a strong recommendation from a friend of hers who had also travelled to Adelaide and booked on two of my tours previously. Word of mouth goes a long way in the tourism business.
Upcoming Cultural Caper tours:
Australia Day - Friday 26th January 10 am.
