Tucked away on the eastern side of North Adelaide is a rural oasis in the midst of suburbia.

Not only is Lefevre Park, part of the Adelaide Parklands but also home to a herd of horses owned by and looked after by local residents. It seems such an odd place to find these beautiful animals living so close to the city but I have to say it delighted me as well.

For a little while at least I felt like I was in some quiet rural country town as I wandered through the grassy paddocks. The peace however rapidly vanished as I got back into my car and rejoined the city traffic.
