This coin-operated horse ride — “The Outlaw” — sits proudly outside the Odeon Star Cinema in #Semaphore, #southaustralia, a throwback to the days when a 5c coin and some imagination could take you on a wild ride.
These horses once stood outside supermarkets, milk bars, and shopping centres across South Australia — a rite of passage for many Aussie kids...
Just behind it is the Odeon Star Cinema, dating back to 1920, making it Adelaide’s oldest purpose-built cinema.
Whether it’s reliving simpler times or discovering them for the first time, South Australia is full of treasures like this — just waiting to be explored.
