When the British built Adelaide, they wanted to build a better Britain

This report was commissioned by the South Australian Office of the Agent General (in August 2012) to celebrate the Queen’s Diamond Jubilee. It investigates Adelaide’s history, its cultural roots and its residents’ attitudes towards their British heritage. It also asks British families, living in Adelaide, about their way of life and whether they think Adelaide’s founder, Colonel William Light, succeeded in his mission to ‘build a better Britain’.
