We visted Adelaide in Dec 2008. It was beautiful. Love Tasmania and Adelaide, 2 of the places which I wanted to visit in Australia and accomplished that on my travel list. I wouldn't mind visiting Tasmania again :)Our first stop was to visit the Whispering Wall. The Whispering Wall is in fact the retaining wall of the Barossa Reservoir. Built between 1899 and 1903, the dam was a revolutionary engineering feat for its day and attracted attention from all over the world, even making its way into the pages of the journal Scientific American.
What draws visitors to the Whispering Wall is its unique acoustic effects: words whispered at one side can be clearly heard at the other, more than 100 metres away. Children in particular love visiting the wall and testing its abilities.
Harlow Can I hear you?
Besides trying out the Whispering Wall, visitors can also learn about the history of the construction of the dam, take in the scenery of the water reserve and enjoy the colours and sounds of the peaceful bush setting. 
Loving the scenic setting
