Jubilee 150 Walkway

To celebrate 150 years of South Australia, the State Government unveiled a ‘walk of fame’ on North Terrace. If you follow the footpath on the northern side of the boulevard you’ll find plaques commemorating the high achievers of the state.

1986 marked the 150th anniversary of the colonisation of South Australia. As part of that sesquicentenary, the Jubilee 150 Board honoured a selection of people who had made a significant contribution to the community or had gained national and international recognition for their work. A Jubilee 150 Walk of 150 bronze plaques was created along the northern footpath of North Terrace from King William Street to Pulteney Street.

The iconic Adelaide Arcade boasts its very own museum, showcasing its colourful and extensive history.

The first street statue erected in the city on North Terrace is actually a copy of a famous neoclassical work. Based on Italian sculptor Antonio Canova’s ‘Venus’, it was chiselled from Carrara marble by Fraser & Draysey, and presented by Mr W A Horn to Mayor F W Bullock on 3 September 1892.
