Adelaide is a fascinating city. We can meet friendly dwellers and see beautiful parks. A conducive situation makes a new comer feeling comfortable. Interestingly, the city council has fully attention to preserve old buildings. No wonder that many old buildings are attracting. The series of city's landmarks can be easily found in the North Terrace. It can be mentioned that Adelaide Train Station, Old Parliament House and State Library of South Australia are situated along North Terrace. These landmarks give a sophisticated impression for the new comer.
An old building with medieval architecture attracted my curiosity. After I read a plaque outside the building, I knew that the building was called Morlock Wings. The curiosity encouraged me to enter the building. The main entrance could be obtained through a corridor crossing the main entrance of State Library. Unbelievable, I felt that the time seemingly went back to the past. I saw a wide range of mementos from time to time. It could be found the artifacts of harvesting wine, sea exploration and many other things in the first floor. In the next level, there were a lot of rare books. Amazing was a piece of word from my lip to describe the valuable collections in the Mortlock Wings. These historical collections reminds me with a quote "History will be kind for me, I intend to write it-Winston S. Churchill'. The Morlock Wings and its collections is bridging the past and present time.
