As my time in Adelaide draws to a close I am packing in the things I was told to do but hadn't got a chance.
I cycled beside the beautiful Torrens River on the weekend.

| Parts look like the Amazon rainforest |
It's a narrow river, about the size of the Rideau Canal, and runs through the north side of the convention and theatre centres, museums and art gallery, Government House and the University of Adelaide. Paddle boats and sight seeing boats went by. Black swans and a whole variety of ducks floated here and there. Families were having picnics and others were walking or cycling.
The Zoo and the Botanical Gardens are on the south bank.
Here are some photos of the gardens.
