Day 223... crossroads






This is the intersection of North Terrace and King William Street, looking towards Parliment House and the Adelaide Railway Station.

Parliament House, on the corner of North Terrace and King William Road in Adelaide city centre, is the seat of the Parliament of South Australia. It was built to replace the adjacent and overcrowded Parliament House, now referred to as "Old Parliament House". Due to financial constraints, the current Parliament House was constructed in stages over 65 years from 1874 to 1939.

Adelaide Railway Station is the central terminus of the Adelaide Metro railway system. It is on the north side of North Terrace, west of Parliament House. The Adelaide Casino is in part of the building that is no longer required for the station.
