[On back of photograph] 'First successful aeroplane flight over Adelaide (A.W. Jones, pilot) / Jan. 2, 1914.' [General description] The small bi-plane flies over a perfect snapshot of North Terrace, circa 1914. The Institute building appears on the extreme left, and next door to it is the Mortlock Library. The Museum building beyond has just been completed. Further down is the dome of the Exhibition Building. Telegraph poles march down the centre of North Terrace and accompanying them are the ornate poles supporting the wires for the latest innovation, the electric tram.
