Light's Vision, Historical monument on Montefiore Hill, North Adelaide, Australia
The bronze statue of Colonel William Light stands on Montefiore Hill, providing panoramic views across Adelaide and surrounding parklands.
Colonel William Light surveyed and established the site of Adelaide during summer 1837, creating a grid layout with spaces for public parks.
The statue represents the founding vision of Adelaide's first Surveyor-General, who designed the city's enduring pattern of streets and green spaces.
The monument offers free entry throughout the year and includes facilities for visitors with mobility, hearing, or vision requirements.
The bronze statue was initially placed in Victoria Square in 1906 before being relocated to its current position in 1938.
