The most spectacular fountain, completed in 1968, is in Victoria Square, the centre of the city’s business section. Its three-sided design, with 34 jets of water and aluminium sculptures, represents the three rivers from which Adelaide draws its water—the Murray (墨累河), the Torrens (托伦斯河) and the Onkaparinga (昂卡帕令加河). Parklands, which separate the city and the suburbs, are preserved in perpetuity for the use of the people.From 1960, when the first Adelaide Festival of Arts was held, Adelaide gained a reputation as Australia’s cultural centre.
