A comprehensive historical account that explores the unique social, cultural, and political identity of Adelaide, South Australia. Chapters cover the foundation, a brief chronicle of 1859-1970, a mosaic of a community and Adelaide in the 1970s.

This 1985 hardcover edition is a substantially revised and expanded version of Whitelock’s earlier 1977 book, Adelaide 1836 to 1976: A History of Difference, which retells the story of Adelaide and its evolution over a century and a half from colonial settlement to the famous festival city enjoying its jubilee.
