Have you discovered the vibrant city south district of Adelaide? The south-west sector is a vibrant community with many city dwellers, living in both heritage cottages and modern housing. There are a few hidden secrets in this part of town also, such as quirky little cafes, some historic pubs and a park space for kids to run around. There is a great little community centre who run workshops and weekly community gatherings.



The city south organisation, in conjunction with the City of Adelaide, will hold a grand family and community day out on Sunday November 4th.



A bumper day of mixed events will be held called Zig Zag City South, run by the City South Organisation , with participation by many businesses and community groups. Here is an outline of what's on.

BEANS & SPROUTS
TIMES- Sunday 4th November from 10am -5pm.
VENUE- Sturt Street Community School
AGES SUITABLE- From toddlers to young primary schoolers and parents.
The popular Beans and Sprouts Day has been held a number of times in various city locations. It is a great day out for parents and children with loads of free activities. The idea is you can sit back and sip on your coffee beans and have a chat to some other parents, while your sprouts go and play. Say 'hello' to an animal in the petting zoo, jump away on the bouncy castle, and wonder how the balloon animals are created. Relax and listen to the music. A sausage sizzle and bake sale will be a fundraiser for the school. Plenty of food stalls also. It's all free except for the coin donation for the face painting.



ACTIVE ON WHITMORE SQUARE
TIMES- 12- 4pm.
AGES SUITABLE- upper primary and teens.
Here there will be lots of active things for older kids to do. Have a go on the 10-metre rock climbing wall and join in with Life Be In It Games, which are loads of fun and get everyone playing together. What is childhood without the parachute games! It's just a gold coin donation for the Rock Climbing and the other fun is free.

SOUTH WEST COMMUNITY CENTRE
VENUE- 171 Sturt St, Adelaide
TIMES Open from 10.30-12 noon. Join the locals and find out about the many activities and workshops happening at the Community Centre. They will also be having an Arabic conversation group on the day.

STREET ART WALKING TOURS

  • TRANSPORT
    Car parking spots will be in short supply, so why not use our metro services. Catch the tram to City South Stop and then walk west along Sturt Street till you get to Whitmore Square. The school is a little further along towards West Tce. Alternatively, use the Free City Connector, passing along Sturt Street (Stop 83) every 15 minutes in both directions. Routes 98A and 98C serve the free city and North Adelaide loop. Routes 99A and 99C serve the free city loop.
