Celebrating 140 years!

It’s the University’s 140 year Birthday Celebration – The Short Day Out!

On 4 November 1874, the legislation to establish the University of Adelaide received royal assent, and the founders’ dream of an open, accessible, enlightened University became a reality. On this note, this year The Short Day Out is celebrated on 6 November between 12 noon and 2 pm at the Goodman Lawns, North Terrace. There will be music, food trucks, entertainment and much more.
