Navigational Compasses Everyone knows a few fundamentals of navigation- north is always up, the sun rises in the east, and

compasses usually point towards magnetic north. But at some point in time, you'll want to be able to

find out where you are, and where you need to go. Most maps are drawn with north located at the

top. Road maps are drawn to scale and the scale shows you a ratio of map distance to real distance.

In Adelaide generally the hills are to the east and the sea is to the west.

Quick Task Complete the table by making a sentence by filling in the correct compass direction. (One has been done

for you)

1. Norwood is EAST Of the city centre.

2. West Lakes is of Port Adelaide.

3. Eastwood is of the city centre.

4. Bowden is of North Adelaide.

5. Marion is of Glenelg

Adelaide Facts Adelaide is an exciting place to live, work and visit. In 2016 Adelaide was ranked as the fifth most liveable city in the world for the second year running. Adelaide offers a marvellous quality of life to all who live here and visit. The City of Adelaide has a justified reputation as a clean, attractive and accessible city centre. It takes great pride in its distinctive character and Park Lands. Adelaide has a vigorous arts sector and internationally renowned festivals and events. The city’s centre is captured in a vibrant, safe and sophisticated square mile that shows off a picturesque colonial heritage. The main street (King William Street) runs directly from north to south of the city through Victoria Square, which is at the heart of the city. Adelaide City Council’s vision includes making a liveable city with attractive walking and cycling and more efficient public transport. Current business initiatives due to extended trading hours are seeing quality cafes and restaurants pop up frequently, making the city a cultured pleasure to live in or to visit. While retail is the heart of the city, Adelaide is among the most cost-competitive locations in the world for clinical trials and product testing, and we have strong biotechnology, chemical, information technology, tele-communications and electronics sectors. We are linked to road, air and rail networks and have mature manufacturing and mining industries and expanding education, defence, renewable and clean energy and service sectors. South Australia’s historic origins in agriculture, food and wine are a significant part of our cultural and economic future. The population of Adelaide in the year 2016 is 1.345 Million. Adelaide has a population density of 400 people per square kilometre. Adelaide is host to many performing arts and functions throughout each year and is known Australia wide as being the “Festival State”, due to its many varied performing arts venues and festivals hosted annually. Listed below are some to keep in mind.

Having access to contacts is essential to have when driving a taxi. Your customer may know

where they want to go, but not know where it is or how to get there. You will need to look

the place up on your satellite navigational device or in some instances you may need to

access the internet. When searching, no matter which tool you are using, you may have to

have some knowledge of the location of the place to aid in finding specific directions. e.g.

Caravan Parks, Churches, Theatres etc.

When searching for a business sometimes if it’s called ‘The’ something……..you will not find

it by looking under the letter ‘T’. The word ‘The’ is dropped and the name of the place is

listed as the place only. In some instances, the establishment may have a formal name, yet

locals call it something else. E.g. The Maid Hotel

The more familiar you are with how to communicate with your passenger and how to look

up addresses, the quicker and more efficient you will become. So, even though your vehicle

is fitted with a satellite navigational system, you will still need to tell the system where it

needs to direct you.

Practice using your navigational device and street directory as you follow through this

booklet and look up the answers to the tasks allocated.

City “No Right Hand Turns’ King William Street is the major arterial road that runs through the centre of the Adelaide CBD. Due to the tramline installation, vehicles now have many intersections that cannot be crossed by conducting a right hand turn. One exception is northbound King William St traffic, which will still be able to turn right into Flinders St, because traffic will not queue across the tramline. Motorists are able to turn right through Victoria Square into Wakefield and Grote streets. These traffic conditions may add to delaying your passenger’s journey however this imposes improved safety of these locations.

When travelling along King William Street between North Terrace and Victoria Square, list the roads

where it is illegal to make a right hand turn. (North Terrace has been filled in for you)
