Light's Vision, Historical monument on Montefiore Hill, North Adelaide, Australia

Light's Vision is a bronze statue on Montefiore Hill in North Adelaide depicting the city's founding surveyor. The location offers viewing points across Adelaide and the surrounding parklands.

The statue commemorates the surveying and urban planning work from 1837 when Adelaide's foundations were established. The work was originally located elsewhere and was later moved to this central position.

The statue stands as a reminder of the founding vision that shaped how people experience the city today through its green spaces and open streets. It reflects the choices made by one person that continued to influence the way Adelaide developed and how residents moved through it.

The site offers free access year-round with facilities for visitors with mobility, hearing, or vision needs. The hilltop location requires some climbing, so comfortable walking shoes are recommended.

The bronze statue was originally placed in Victoria Square in 1906 before being moved to its current hilltop location in 1938. This relocation made it more visible and gave visitors better views across the city from its new position.
