🦘Adelaide #29 Happiest City

Tram Network Upgrades, music events and more.

Morning 👋

Hope everyone had a great Mother’s Day yesterday!

Less events this week, so I was thinking: should I make a couple positive news stories longer since the added space, instead of the short, bite-sized format like the rest of them?

Let me know 👍
