5.00Adelaide'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.
Great walking tour.
