Montefiore Hill Adelaide South Australia 5000 AdelaideAbout
Montefiore Hill stands between the city of Adelaide and North Adelaide. A statue of Colonel William Light, South Australia's first surveyor general, stands on the Hill looking towards the city. The area is known as Light's Vision. Light has been generally acknowledged to have selected the site for Adelaide and drawn the city plan, although some believe his deputy Charles Strickland Kingston should receive the credit for this. Light and his surveying team were under severe time constraints to select a site for South Australia's capital and to survey it.
