Rundle Mall is a pedestrian street mall located in Adelaide, South Australia. It was opened as a pedestrian mall in September 1976 after the closing of the western section of Rundle Street between King William Street and Pulteney Street, to vehicular traffic.[2] The street continues as Rundle Street (as before) to the east and Hindley Street to the west. By annual foot traffic, it is the busiest shopping precinct in Australia. [3]
At 520 m (1,710 ft) long, with over 1000 retail outlets, 300 services, 3 department stores, and 15 arcades, Rundle Mall is the longest outdoor mall in the southern hemisphere.[3] It is the centrepiece of Adelaide's city centre, and home to some of the most expensive commercial real estate in the state.
