Title
Botanic Park taken after storm 17 July 1916
Description

On the night of 17 July 1916, a severe storm hit Adelaide and the suburbs. Variously described in the press as a hurricane, a gale, a tornado and the 'storming of Adelaide', it caused at least one fatality and wrought havoc on buildings, parks and gardens. The impact on Botanic Park was particularly severe with many pines at the Hackney end being damaged. As many as 100 trees in the Park and near vicinity came down although damage was less in the Botanic Gardens. (Register, 19 July 1916, p7, 9)

Images of the storm are at GN01760-GN01765.
