Aerial view of Adelaide taken from on board the Vickers Vimy, showing Ross Smith flying the aircraft into Adelaide, 23/3/1920, after the Smith brothers' prize-winning England to Australia flight in 1919.

The plane is flying over the intersection of North Terrace and King William Street with the partially completed Parliament House visible to the right of the plane. Further east you can see the grounds of Government House, then the Institute and Mortlock buildings of the State Library.

The legs of the photographer, Keith Smith, can be seen as you look into the cockpit.
