Victoria Square is one of five public squares incorporated into the design of Adelaide by Colonel William Light. Named after Queen Victoria it is the central one in King William St. The others are Hurtle, Whitmont, Hindmarsh and lastly Light. Light Square, obviously named after Colonel William Light, also happens to be where he is buried.

Victoria Square Fountain

You can see the Adelaide Post Office in the background of the above photo and the fountain itself was designed by renowned sculptor John Dowie. Named the Three Rivers fountain it represents the three rivers from which Adelaide receives most of its water—the Torrens, the Onkaparinga and the Murray.

It doesn’t matter from which angle you view the fountain, you get a great view of the city behind.

It seems though that the Adelaide Council is at loggerheads over the future of Victoria Square and have been for quite awhile. Everyone knows that something has to be done, but nobody knows what that something is.
