Torrens Linear Park Circuit Torrens Linear Park Circuit 1h to 1h 45 min 2 20min to 45min 4.1 km ↑ 35 m Easy track Circuit ↓ 35 m 45min to 2h Starting from the Elder Park Rotunda on King William Road, Adelaide, this walk takes you on a circuit along River Torrens via the Torrens Linear Park Trail. The Rotunda in Elder Park was erected in 1882 and is a well known Adelaide landmark. Elder Park is located between the City of Adelaide and North Adelaide on the banks of the River Torrens. The River Torrens, a scenic backdrop for the trail, is a haven for a variety of bird and plant life and flows steadily from the hills to the ocean. The Torrens Linear Park Trail provides beautiful views of the river, its wildlife and the city. Highlights along the route include the Adelaide Festival Centre, Adelaide Convention Centre, North Adelaide Golf Club, Tennis Centre and Adelaide Oval. Barbecue facilities, picnic areas and playgrounds are regular features. Toilet facilities and water stations are available at many locations along the trail. There is consistent signage throughout, approximately every kilometre, identifying the Linear Park Trail intersections and exits, making it easy to stay on the track. This is a very popular trail used by walkers, runners and cyclists. It is suitable for prams, wheelchairs and children. With paths on both sides of the river, this route is a great combination of green space, water views, and Adelaide attractions. Let us begin by acknowledging the Traditional Custodians of the land on which we travel today, and pay our respects to their Elders past and present. 200 164 128 92 56 20 0 m 3 km 1 km 2 km 810 m 205 m 410 m 610 m 5.6x 1.2 km 1.4 km 1.6 km 1.8 km 2.2 km 2.4 km 2.6 km 2.8 km 3.2 km 3.5 km 3.7 km 3.9 km 4.1 km Class 2 of 6 Clear and well formed track or trail Quality of track Smooth and hardened path (1/6) Gradient Flat, no steps (1/6) Signage Clearly signposted (2/6) Infrastructure Generally useful facilities (such as fenced cliffs and seats) (2/6) Experience Required No experience required (1/6) Weather Weather generally has little impact on safety (1/6) Before you start any journey ensure you; • Tell someone you trust where you are going and what to do if you are late returning • Have adequate equipment, supplies, skills & knowledge to undertake this journey safely • Consider weather forecasts, park/track closures & fire dangers • Can respond to emergencies & call for help at any point • Are healthy and fit enough for this journey.

  • The Creation of the Torrens : a History of Adelaide's River to 1881
    The Creation of the Torrens: A History of Adelaide's River to 1881 by Sharyn Clarke This is submitted for the degree of Master of Arts in History School of Social Sciences University of Adelaide CONTENTS List of Paintings and Maps Introduction 1 Chapter One: Conceiving the Torrens t4 Chapter Two: Black and White 4t Chapter Three: The Destruction of the Torrens 76 Chapter Four: Meeting the Demand for Progress 105 Chapter Five: The Torrens Lake 130 Conclusion 157 Bilbiography ABSTRACT The River Torrens in Adelaide is a fragile watercourse with variable seasonal flows which was transformed in the nineteenth century into an artificial lake on a European scale. This thesis presents the reasons behind the changes which took place. The creation of the Torrens covers both physical changes and altering conceptions of the river from a society which, on the whole, desired a European river and acted as though the Torrens was one. The period of study ranges from the Kaurna people's life, which adapted around the river they called Karrawirraparri, to the damming of the river in 1881, Being the major river forthe city, the relatively higher population density meant huge environmental pressure, an inability to assess its limits lead to it being heavily polluted and degraded only a decade after white settlement. Distinct stages in the use of the river can be observed and a variety of both positive and negative responses towards it were recorded. By studying the interactions with, and attitudes towards, the River Torrens, and the changes it has undergone, we learn much about the societies that inhabited the river and their values towards a specific and crucial part of the natural environment.

  • FINAL Adelaide Park Lands Heritage Assessment 190122
    Heritage Assessment – Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares Issue Date: 17-May-2018 HERITAGE ASSESSMENT REPORT NAME: Adelaide Park Lands, Squares and PLACE: 13717 City Layout ADDRESS: Park Lands, Adelaide, South Australia APPROACH DASH Architects was engaged by the State Heritage Unit of the Department of Environment, Water and Natural Resources (DEWNR) to undertake a Heritage Assessment of the ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares’ for the consideration of the South Australian Heritage Council. Two nominations were received for the Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares in 2009: • ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Squares’; and • ‘Adelaide Park Lands, City Squares and Gardens’. This Heritage Assessment (report) has considered to the two State heritage nominations, as well as the 2008 National Heritage Listing for the ‘Adelaide Park Lands and City Layout’. There are many individual places that have already been identified as being of State Heritage significance in their own right within the study area of this report. The scope of this assessment is not to review these, encompass them in a single listing or identify potential additional places. Rather, the scope of this assessment is to consider the nominations ‘as a whole of place’, rather than a collection of elements. DRAFT The Authors of this report have determined that it is not possible to consider the potential heritage significance of the Adelaide Park Lands and Squares without considering their historical and physical context within both Edward Wakefield’s theories for the colonial settlement of the State of South Australia, and Colonel William Light’s subsequent plan for its capital. For this reason, this Heritage Assessment has been extended beyond the nominations to consider the potential heritage significance of the City Layout, as represented in Light’s 1837 plan.

  • COMMENTARY Hello Everyone
    COMMENTARY Hello everyone. Welcome to The Popeye. We will be departing here from Elder Park, travelling down to the Torrens Weir where we will turn around and travel back up towards to Adelaide Zoo and then back to Elder Park. The trip should take approximately 45 minutes. We are now travelling along the Torrens river or Karrawirra Parri. The Popeye Launches acknowledges that the land and the river on which its site is located is the Traditional lands for the Kaurna people and that we respect their spiritual relationship with their country. We also acknowledge the Kaurna people as the custodians of the greater Adelaide region and that their cultural and heritage beliefs are still as important to the living Kaurna people today. At its 1836 discovery an inland bend was chosen as the site of the Adelaide city centre and North Adelaide. The river is named after Colonel Robert Torrens, chairman of the colonial commissioners and a significant figure in the city's founding. We are now passing the Adelaide Festival Centre which is undergoing a $90 million upgrade and celebrated it’s 40th anniversary in 2014. Built in 1973 under the Dunstan government, 3 months before the Sydney Opera House, it is Australia’s first capital city arts venue and hosts more than one million people annually. It is home to world class arts companies and festivals such as the Adelaide Festival, the Adelaide Fringe and the famous Adelaide Cabaret festival. To our left we are now passing the Adelaide Convention Centre, the 1st purpose built in Australia and opened in June 1987.

We recognise and respect their cultural heritage, beliefs and relationship with the land. We acknowledge that they are of continuing importance to the Kaurna people living today. Park Lands Event Management Plan Lord Mayor Foreword The Park Lands are one of Adelaide’s great assets, a defining element of our city, providing residents and visitors with recreational and cultural opportunities in a unique setting. Based on Colonel William Light’s 1837 plan for the City of Adelaide, 930 hectares of land were allocated for the creation of the Adelaide Park Lands, which now provide the community with an abundance of open space to enjoy life. While the Park Lands provide extensive picturesque landscapes, they are also a significant contributor to the liveability of the City of Adelaide by showcasing arts and music festivals, major sporting and cultural events, recreational sport, health and well-being activities, community events and casual visitation. Events in the Park Lands create an exciting and culturally enriching Adelaide experience, while contributing significant economic uplift for the state. The Park Lands Event Management Plan aims to support respectful co-existence between events and the local community, managing the balance of maintaining the Park Lands and providing the best experience for all users.
