It runs parallel to the Swan River, linking St Georges Terrace with The Causeway. Route descriptionAdelaide Terrace's eastern end is at The Causeway, adjacent to the Swan River. It travels in a west-north-westerly, intersecting perpendicular roads in Perth's grid plan, which are spaced {{convert|300|to|400|m}} apart. All intersections are traffic light controlled, except for a couple of minor streets. The road's western end joins onto St Georges Terrace, at an intersection with Victoria Avenue.[1] HistoryAdelaide Terrace has existed since the 1830s.[2] It is named after Queen Adelaide, consort of King William IV, who reigned from 1830-1837.[3][4] In the late nineteenth century, the southern side was lined by houses and properties of wealthy and powerful people in Western Australia of the time – and it earned the reputation of being the location of some of John Horgan's six hungry families. By the late twentieth century, there were only a couple of houses from the nineteenth century remaining in the full length of the road. Major intersectionsAll major intersections are traffic light controlled.[1]
