Light's Vision
This lookout on Montefiore Hill was designed in 1938 to incorporate the life size bronze of Adelaide's founding father, Colonel William Light, who was responsible for fixing and surveying the site of the City of Adelaide in the summer of 1837.
The statue, designed by Scottish sculptor Birnie Rhind, was first unveiled in Victoria Square in 1906, but it was moved in the mid 1930s because it had become a traffic hazard. Light's father was Captain Francis Light, the founder of Penang.
Montefiore Hill was named after Colonisation Commissioner Jacob Montefiore.
