Explore Adelaide: Part Two

Two years ago, I wrote a post called 'Explore Adelaide,' and now I am back with part two, as I have found more amazing places to see in the beautiful state. 

Part one: https://vishisviews.blogspot.com/2022/08/explore-adelaide.html


The Museum of Discovery, or MOD. as it is known, is a futuristic museum designed for young people between the ages of 15 and 25 which showcases how research shapes our understanding of the world and is inspired by science, art and innovation. It is interactive and you can watch presentations on the screens, do activities and  answer questions. 
MOD. is located in the University of South Australia and is free to enter. 




I highly recommend all booklovers visit The State Library of South Australia, located in North Terrace. There are three buildings to explore - the award-wining Catherine Spence Wing with an iconic glass foyer, the Mortlock Wing with it's 19th century Victorian style and the 1861 heritage listed Institute building, 
The Mortlock Wing has small desks for people to sit, read and work, many old books and is a beautiful place to take photos. It also showcases items from the library's collections in exhibition bays.

Walk further down the North Terrace cultural precinct and you will come to the South Australian Museum. Here there are five floors of history  and objects from early complex life to Australian Aboriginal cultural material.

Take a break from the hustle and bustle of the city with a walk around the Adelaide Himeji Garden.
It is a traditional Japanese garden, gifted from the state's sister City Himeji in1982.  It is located in the Adelaide Park Lands and is a peaceful place for people to walk around, sit and meditate, think and read. Listen to the sounds of the birds and the water fountains.

Welcome back Justice Crew!

                                           Photo credit to @Justicecrewofficial Instagram Justice Crew are a dance and music group who won Australia's Got Talent in 2010 and went on to release many amazing songs including number one hits Boom Boom and Que Sera . After their tour in 2019, they took a long break and now they are back!  I have been a huge fan of them since the beginning and have been to a lot of their shows, so when they announced they were performing a show in February, of course I was excited and attended with my friend. There was a huge crowd there to see them, which surprised a few people, including maybe the guys themselves. After six years, they probably felt rusty, but they were actually amazing as always. It was so cool to see them on stage again and here all the hit songs the number ones and  Everybody. It's so crazy how even now, after six year...

Light in the Darkness

  We all carry a little darkness. Moments we don’t speak of. Storms We face. Shadows we walk through quietly.   But that doesn’t mean our light is gone.   Even on heavy days, when it feels like someone has punched us in the chest, or everything feels hopeless. We work. We care. We laugh. We create. We shine, like the brightest star in the sky.   No matter what happens today – even if it’s messy, or lonely, or full of tears - The sun will rise in the morning. Like it always does. Like we always do.   Because light doesn’t have to shout. Sometimes it just keeps showing up, quietly. One bright beam at a time.

Time To Break Away

In 2018, I introduced you all to an incredible singer from St Lucia, D.B.L, who I found while scrolling through Instagram. I have quietly kept up with all his news, he has done so many amazing things. In October 2025, D.B.L released a single called Time To Break Away and, in this post, I am going to share my thoughts on the song and video with you.  Time To Break Away by D.B.L Image from Genius Time To Break Away explores the themes of rebellion, overcoming struggle and escaping negativity and talks about serious conflict we see happening in the world. Listening to the lyrics makes me feel emotional, and I think everyone who listens to it will feel something.  "You have to go to sleep with one eye open The rebel’s on the prowl to search for victim You got to know the rules or else it’s the end Now look at what’s around you all the bloodshed The propaganda spread the lies that dem spread The bigotry deceit to hide the problem Hypocrisy me me can’t understand I think about the c...
