Timeline
19:32
Grab a drink at The Austral. It is on the main shopping street and opens at 12:00, so it is ready for you well before the evening rush.
20:17
Walk west from the pub to North Terrace. This five-minute stroll takes you past the university buildings and sets the stage for the view.
20:32
Head into The Adelaide Botanic Garden. The gardens face WSW, aligning with the sunset direction mentioned in the facts. Find a quiet grassed area to watch the sun dip below the horizon.
21:02
Walk northwest to Montefiore Hill. This 21-minute walk from the anchor leads to a spot with a spectacular view of the city lights coming on as dusk settles.
Local tip
The Botanic Garden is quiet and relaxing. Montefiore Hill is best for the night view, so allow enough time to walk there after the sun has set.
Check before you go
- The Austral opens at 12:00 daily.
- The Adelaide Botanic Garden is open daily 10AM-5PM, except 25 Dec. However, for a sunset plan starting at 19:55, verify if the garden gates remain open for evening access or if you are viewing from the perimeter/parklands adjacent to the anchor as described in the theme brief's implied flow.
