    Hindmarsh Square / Mukata

    Hindmarsh Square, located in the north-east of Adelaide, was one of the six squares designed by Colonel William Light in his 1837 plan of Adelaide.

Despite this, Hindmarsh Square continues to serve its intended purpose as an area of respite from its urban surrounding.
