If you were to walk or drive down North Terrace in Adelaide you couldn’t help but notice the old Fowler’s Lion Factory. The feature that makes it stand out from the rest of the buildings on the street is the majestic stone statue of the lion on top of the building. The appearance of the lion is definitely  one of royalty as he stands there watching over his subjects as they  move past his watchful gaze.

David and James Fowler, the men who first established D and J Fowler (Australia) Ltd in 1854, moved their retail outlet from King William St. to  this building in 1906. It seems that destiny had other plans for this building, other than the owners original plans for it.

In the 70′s up until 1998 it was the home of The Adelaide Fringe Festival. At present it houses the nightclub Fowler’s Live, the Jam Factory which is art related and has nothing to do with jam at all, as well as other venues.

The plane that you see here is a landmark that tells you have arrived at the Parafield Airport, about 18kms north of the city of Adelaide.

Although not a major airport, as in you won’t see any jumbos landing here, it is really quite busy and is renowned for their expertise in training good pilots.

There was a time when the airport was the only thing visible in this plot of land, but over the years a whole lot of shops have opened here, the most notable probably being Bunnings.

I’m not sure when they put this together but I came across this the other day and I found it really interesting. It’s a sculpture of a huge tap and hose and the park also has what appear to be replicas of dinosaur bones.

Once again it just goes to show you how much you miss by driving around in the car. I reckon that all families should make some free time whenever possible where they can get together and explore where they live, and Adelaide offers so much, from the Zoo, to the many parklands, and when you get peckish, if you haven’t packed a lunch there’s always a cafe close by.

It provides a great photo opportunity and is a great place just to sit back and relax while watching the kids amuse themselves. You will find this unique little park off Little Twin St. in the heart of Adelaide.

I went for a drive down to Waterfall Gully yesterday to see if I could take a photo of the waterfall there, aptly named First Falls. It’s a beautiful spot, very peaceful and serene. The best thing is that you can drive almost right up to it and is great for those who are unable to walk a great distance.

Waterfall Gully is a suburb of Burnside but the falls itself is part of the Cleland Conservation Park.

For those of you who do not mind a bit of walking you are sure to find some lovely flowers while strolling through this lovely conservation park.

There are lots of photos that can be taken for those not scared of a little stroll.

If you are really lucky, you may even find the Waterfall Gully Restaurant open for business.

It’s open Thursday to Monday 11.00am – 5.30pm and Friday evenings but bookings on that night is essential.

I took this photo on a particularly fine day when the family and I were visiting Hazelwood Park in the city of Burnside.

I particularly like the photo because of the many colored leaves. Hazelwood Park is a beautifully lush park that is frequented my many families for picnics, barbecues, sport or just to stroll around.

While I have you here I would like to quickly introduce my latest blog, WassupBlog, which I hope will also entertain many a reader.
