North Terrace is one of the four terraces that bound the central business district of the city of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. It runs east-west, along the northern edge of the CBD.

Hmmm, well it seem that I still need to write something to push down the text a bit so that it takes up enough room that the table I constructed will start below the first photograph, which I thought it would be nice to keep in its original position. All things considered, I would rather not have gone to all this trouble, but what the heck.

In October 2007, the extension of the Glenelg Tramline from Victoria Square to the University of South Australia City West campus was completed. The tram now operates along the entire length of King William Street, and along North Terrace between King William Street and the Morphett Street bridge. One stop is located adjacent to the Adelaide Railway Station, with the terminus at the University of South Australia City West campus.
