About the event
Join us for a relaxed and engaging session as our guest speaker shines a light on the broad challenges Colonel William Light faced while planning and surveying early Adelaide. We’ll explore how practical obstacles, social and political pressures, and the sheer scale of his task helped shape the city we know today—and why his influence is everywhere, yet his story remains less well understood. No prior knowledge needed, just curiosity and conversation.
