Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

- Jeffry bEssendon, Australia13,718 contributionsThe South African War Memorial is an equestrian statue. South Australia's participation in the South African War is recorded here. South Australian soldiers fought together in the South Australian Bushman's Corp from 1899 to 1902. The memorial records the way in which South Australians fought as horsemen. The memorial is an equestrian statue, with a comment on South Australians in the South Africa War attached. The statue sits in central Adelaide, at the corner of North Terrace and King William Street.Written 3 October 2024This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- westy54Sydney, Australia13,485 contributionsI quite liked this bronze statue of Captain Charles Napier Sturt (1795- 1869) that is located in Victoria Square as, unlike the staid statues of other notable figures that have been erected in the Square, this one shows the subject in his working attire. Sturt is depicted in the clothes of an outback explorer with knee boots, an open-necked shirt, sleeves rolled up his arms and a broad brimmed hat. He is standing and leaning forward to look into the distance with his right hand trying to block the sun. Sturt has a map and a telescope in his left hand and has a water bottle draped over his shoulder.
The bronze statue was cast in England and shipped to Adelaide where it was mounted on a marble pedestal that has a granite base. The are four bronze panels on the pedestal, one on each side, that detail Sturt's three main expeditions and the members of his two South Australian expeditions. The statue was unveiled in 1916.
Sturt is most famous for his Australian inland expeditions and his exploraration of the Murray - Darling - Murrumbidgee river systemWritten 8 June 2021This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

I would never have known about those tanks unless i had visited. And to see all that rail infrastructure that was in place just for a change in gauge.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia9,016 contributionsThis unusual fountain was pointed out to us during our Adelaide Sightseeing Tour. It looked like carved sections of rock until we had a closer look. Sure enough, the sculptured rocks looked like sections of a backbone, installed in a cluster and with water flowing from the spigot at the top of each. Different and a nice feature. I've since discovered that it is a sculpture by artists Angela and Hossein Valamanesh and stonemasons Tillett Natural Stone Industries. The fountain was unveiled in 2005Written 29 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC. Tripadvisor performs checks on reviews.
- Steve WAdelaide, Australia3,267 contributionsA great little walk through an unknown suburb. The guide was good, and took us through back streets to the house of Abbotshall, and though the paths along the creek. An informative and enjoyable little tour of the areaWritten 6 February 2017This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

- Dan LBunbury, Australia9,016 contributionsWe were headed to the pedestrian crossing when I noted some bronze plaques embedded in the pathway between North Terrace and the Prince Henry Gardens. All had the 150Logo, the names of various people, ages, occupation and the sponsor name at. the bottom. I guess, like most visitors, I walked the path between the Gardens and the University, Museum, etc or under the shade in the Gardens and did not know that the plaques existed until a by-chance discovery.
The plaques were installed to celebrate and honour a selection of persons that were of significance to the State. The one I almost trod on honored Dervish Bejah, camel-driver, explorer, c1862 - 1957, and sponsored by Dick & Helen Lang of Desert Trek.. Bejah was an 'Afghan' camel driver, born in Baluchistan, and played a role in the development of outback Australia.. Nearby, a plaque to Susan Grace Benny, 1st female Local Government member in Australia; Abraham Tobias Boas, First Rabbi; Sir Donald Bradman, Lady Bonython, and so many more. The plaques were installed in 1986, the 150th anniversary of the colonisation of South AustraliaWritten 29 January 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.

Details are on the website of the City of Adelaide. An innovative idea and very interesting, although the paintings obviously don’t include the more commonly known famous ones. A pleasant walk in Spring weather, with something to see.Written 4 September 2020This review is the subjective opinion of a Tripadvisor member and not of Tripadvisor LLC.
