Taphophile Tragics

Detail from the Adelaide War Memorial. The Spirit of Compassion, bearing aloft the body of a dead soldier, symbolizes and commemorates the sacrifice of those who gave their lives in the war and the loss experienced by those who loved them.

The Spirit of Duty appearing before the youth of South Australia, as represented by the girl, the student and the farmer.

Sky Watch Friday

The Solar Mallee Trees on the Adelaide Festival Centre Plaza harness solar energy via a canopy of laminated oval solar cell panels. Each ‘tree’ can produce 864 kW hours but only uses 125kW hours of energy each year, saving around 2 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions - equivalent to the benefit of 6 real trees per year. The solar trees also let you listen to students from Sturt Street Primary School – the City’s first “solar school” – talk about solar energy.
