🗻️ Light Square

Light Square, also known by its Kaurna name Wauwi, is one of the public squares in the Adelaide city centre. Located in the north-western quarter of the city, it is bounded by Waymouth Street to the south, while Currie Street crosses its northern section and Morphett Street runs through the square from north to south. The square was included in William Light's 1837 plan for Adelaide and was named after him on 23 May 1837 by the Street Naming Committee. In 2003, the Adelaide City Council assigned the square the Kaurna dual name Wauwe, later standardised as Wauwi, as part of a broader recognition of Kaurna heritage and language.
