Must See

Adelaide Oval

Adelaide Oval is a stadium in Adelaide, South Australia, located in the parklands between the city centre and North Adelaide.

And in 2014 a huge project to upgrade the oval was completed – 280,000 tonnes of earth were removed, 60,000 cubic metres of concrete were laid and 14,000 bolts were bolted. The result is an amazing transformation.

The oval has always been a picturesque icon, but now it is also one of the most advanced, state-of-the art outdoor venues in Australia. From some angles it almost resembles a spaceship.
