Simon Cameron: Adelaide’s statues and monuments
Posted on: Mon 21 Jan 2019
Simon Cameron tells us about some of Adelaide’s best-loved, and least known statues and monuments – tales of humanity, heroism, philanthropy and tragedy. Every one of them tells a story, not only of its subject, but of the society that erected it. This is indeed a fascinating chat about some of the statues and monuments that we take for granted, and have forgotten to look closely at.
