A Decade in Adelaide is a ring-in’s account of cultural, social and political life in the ’City of Churches’, in the years spent there since my wife Jo and I retired from university work in the Middle East in 2007. The book is also a record of our journeys throughout South Australia, as well as the neighbouring states of Victoria and Tasmania.
