Photos of Adelaide in the 1950s.

I ran across this website story while trying to find out what the event at the town hall might have been.

Wonderful old photos, and filled with memories. Sorry if not all can see them. Seems that you have a limited number of 'free' articles that you can read. :(
It's one of the first references I've seen to the Koala zoo. It was in the parklands, a bit north of the zoo. It's there that I rode an elephant, I'm sure.
I remember the city baths (swimming pool) but know that many avoided it because of catching something 'nasty'. How true that was, I don't know.
I love the Royal show photos, was such an event. I loved everything about it. Show bags, Fairy Floss, sample size bottles, animals and more.
Sunday drives with picnics, thermos of tea was a 'must have'. That first photo was like so many. So typical.
Charlesworth nuts was a 'must' to visit each time one went to the city.
And it's amazing to see how close some got to the Queen, when she visited.
