Our first morning in Adelaide was carefully planned. We did as many outdoor things as possible due to having to check out at midday tomorrow from our hotel.

We carried on walking 🚶‍♂️ 🚶‍♀️ along North Terrace past many grand buildings as we made our way to the 1855 Botanic Gardens.

Stopping off to pay our respects to Captain Matthew Flinders (16 March 1774 – 19 July 1814) who was a Royal Navy officer, navigator and cartographer who led the first inshore circumnavigation of mainland Australia, then called New Holland.
