## Background (Wikipedia, CC BY-SA 4.0, shortened)

Rundle Mall is a pedestrian street mall located in Adelaide, South Australia. It was opened as a pedestrian mall in September 1976 after the closing of the western section of Rundle Street between King William Street and Pulteney Street, to vehicular traffic. The street continues as Rundle Street (as before) to the east and Hindley Street to the west. By annual foot traffic, it is the busiest shopping precinct in Australia and the Southern Hemisphere.
At 520 m (1,710 ft) long, with over 1,000 retail outlets, 300 services, three department stores, and 15 arcades, Rundle Mall is the longest outdoor mall in the southern hemisphere.
