Adelaide's Parklands are connected to the real estate known as the Frame. The Hills are worth tramping, and the squares are worth seeing. North Terrace has a collection of Adelaide's institutions, including the Old and New Parliaments of South Australia. Also notable is the Art Gallery and the South Australian Museum. The Parklands is a good place to wander around, there is always something interesting to see.

Graeme is an excellent guide who has done a lot of research and has interesting information to share about the history of the houses and various buildings in North Adelaide. He has a humorous way of delivering his information and certainly holds your attention. We enjoyed our walk around the area and would certainly recommend him to locals and visitors alike. Thanks, Graeme!
