Summary

Adelaide Parklands looking east from East Terrace from a point about 60 yards north of Wakefield Street. The area in the foreground has been planted with young olive trees. This olive grove was planted in 1870. In 1971 George McEwin, founder of Glen Ewin Jam factory, urged the Adelaide Council to graft the large number of olive trees on the East Park Lands, implying the seedlings were planted the previous year or earlier. This photograph shows paths criss crossing the Parklands between East Terrace and Dequetteville Terrace and the Adelaide hills looming in the distance.
