Graeme is an excellent guide who has done a lot of research and has interesting information to share about the history of the houses and various buildings in North Adelaide. He has a humorous way of delivering his information and certainly holds your attention. We enjoyed our walk around the area and would certainly recommend him to locals and visitors alike. Thanks, Graeme!
