As part of the Adelaide Festival, the city’s historic architectural icons on North Terrace are painted with light and coloured with life. The light installation – the largest of its type ever displayed in Australia – incorporates the State Library of South Australia, the South Australian Museum, the Art Gallery of South Australia, Elder Hall, the Mitchell Building and Bonython Hall, plus the rear wall of Parliament House, facing the iconic Adelaide Festival Centre.

This is called the Northern Lights and we picked a warm night to head down into the city and have a look with about 10000 other people. It is spectactular and well worth checking out next time it is on.
