Prospect is a suburb to the north of the centre of Adelaide, the capital city of South Australia. Surrounding suburbs include Kilburn, Fitzroy, and Medindie. The suburb has boundaries of Main North Road to the East; Carter Street, Audley Avenue and Avenue Road to the South; The Gawler railway line on the west and a line 400m north of Regency Road (Livingstone Avenue, Angwin Avenue and Henrietta Street) on the north. The suburb features many Victorian era houses, and some stately 19th century mansions, although not as grand as those on Fitzroy Terrace. The suburb is very appealing to those who want to live near the city, but not in such busy suburbs as North Adelaide and in the CBD. It has very nice streets with houses selling at $1 million and higher. Some of theses streets include Alpha Road and Victoria street which both had houses/land sold for $1.5 million in 2013/2014. The Prospect Road Fashion Food and Wine Affair is hosted annually by the City of Prospect. This event allows local traders to showcase their goods and service in the wider community. This event is generally held on the 2nd Sunday in November. ==History== The first Prospect Post Office opened around 1861 and closed around 1872. A ''Nailsworth'' office (open from 1861) was renamed ''Prospect'' in 1874 and has remained open since then. It was located at First avenue, Nailsworth, with two tall palm trees planted in front of the post office. This was done so people could see where the post office was located from a distance. In 1940 the area now known as Prospect was a series of localities from north to south * west of Prospect Road - Prospect Estate, Highbury and Dudley Park * east of Prospect Road - Blair Athol, Prospect Hill, St Johns Wood and Prospect () 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Prospect, South Australia」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
