Jubilee 150 Walkway
The Jubilee 150 Walkway, also variously known as the Jubilee 150 Commemorative Walk, the Jubilee 150 Walk, Jubilee 150 Plaques, the Jubilee Walk, or simply J150, is a series of (initially) 150 bronze plaques set into the pavement of North Terrace, Adelaide, South Australia from King William Street to Pulteney Street.
History
Jubilee 150 Walkway was officially opened on 21 December 1986. It was commissioned as part of the celebrations commemorating the 150th anniversary of the founding of the British Province of South Australia on 28 December 1836.[1][2]
Overview
The plaques, initially 150 in number, contained the names of 170 people who made major contributions to the colony and later state of South Australia.[a] The Adelaide City Council has since added four plaques,[b] embellished with the City of Adelaide coat of arms rather than the Jubilee 150 logo, so now comprises 154 plaques containing the names of 174 people, plus two "bookends".
The plaques are mostly arranged in alphabetic order,[c] and stretch from King William Road to Pulteney Street along the north side of North Terrace. The walkway starts at the South African War Memorial, and passes in front of Government House, the National War Memorial, the State Library, the Museum, the Art Gallery and the University complex.
