Thanks. Hopefully I won't have to wait until I'm retirement age before I'm able to travel there. Thanks for posting. Anything that has to do with Australia.
Jason, I live in a little town that the Murray River pipeline passes through (between Mannum & Adelaide). I hope you get a chance to visit here someday. I live on a small hobby farm - & would not swap it for anywhere else!! Tiger.
I hope to make it there one day. I don't know when. But I'd certainly try to make it. I've visited so many interesting places in the last several years.
After coming out from the U K in 1963, I spent my teenage years in Adelaide and have many good memories of it, but now I live in Sunshine Coast, Queensland and prefer it as we get so much rain compared to Adelaide that seems dry much of the year.
I think Adelaide is the only city in Australia in which the people are happy if it rains. It's a very hot, dry state to live in and I don't look forward to Summer's too much, especially in the last 20 years.
Look how green everything is in this old film. The Parklands look lovely. Not enough rain these days and the Murray is always in danger of running dry.
fertilisers run off from farmland along the way, causing algae growth, ad the Carp stir up the bottom of the river. along with pollution from different sources along the way add to the problem. a lot of the old timers say you used to be able to see the bottom back in the old days, sadly you cant anymore.
The city was laid out so well, but neglect of the suburbs lay out is now causing our government to spend billions on expanding roads. What I can't understand is why Bunnings was to be allowed to be built on South Road near Castle Plaza, because of this, we now have to have a tunnel.. Money talks, I guess.
I remember the canoes in the East Parklands well as a young boy in the 1960s. Adelaide a wonderful place to grow up in.
Love it. Still a beautiful city with beautiful people!
I did not know that huge pipe line from the Murray River feed the reservoirs and didn't know they were linked either, very informative video.
I've just arrived here from your Facebook page.

Resembling some European cities.. How beautiful Adelaide used to be... Wonderful archives...

As a kid i used to follow the the pipeline for miles through Gawler and Elixabeth , what a graet time in the 70s
Scary how clean the River Murray looks.. What happened?
Carp.
My grandpa (died a few years back at 100yo) was telling me how clean the Murray used to be and how dry it got upstream before the barrages
The Pom's bathed in it.

30% growth in ten years from 1952 to 1962
what has it been in the last ten years? 0-1%?
I remember the hoorahing when the Murray pipeline was completed. Didn’t improve the quality of the water, though.
Does anyone know what the restaurant is?
First :-) Excellent clip of dear old Adelaide (nothing has changed much)
Adelaide has tripled in population since, imagine how the pipeline is coping by now.
Especially with all the Indians here now
It’s called the desalinisation plant
no it hasn't

Yep money talks and the political extreme right like their cut
Elizabeth is 70 miles from Adelaide?
I think it said 17 miles :)
Yes, 17 miles
@@ammeedee9357 I thought it was about 20 miles out; I could be wrong.
30 km.
No, he said 17 miles.
No Festival Theatre, or highrises. Adelaide was very pretty back then, so many beautiful buildings are now gone.
Most of those people and all those animals and birds are now dead.
Robbing Peter to pay Paul
Never drink the tap water
Pity the Victorians pee in the Murray before it gets to Adelaide :(
The Murray does not run through Adelaide.
@@MarkWhich Adelaide gets it drinking water from the Murray, amongst other sources.
@@Hossak Ohh then I won't be drinking tap water again!
Fake pics
I come from Adelaide....it's a Beautiful place....
