Hindmarsh Square

Hindmarsh Square/Mukata (formerly Mogata) is one of five public squares in the Adelaide city centre, South Australia.

It is located in the centre of the north-eastern quarter of the city, and surrounds the intersection of Grenfell and Pulteney streets, near the eastern end of the Rundle Mall.

[2][3] The east side of the square was for many years dominated by the Congregational Church,[4] which later became the orchestral studio for ABC Radio and the South Australian Symphony Orchestra at No.

[5] The building then named CitiCentre, on the north-western side of the square, was the scene of the high-profile murder of psychiatrist Margaret Tobin in 2002.

[6] In March 2003, as part of the City of Adelaide's dual naming project in association with the University of Adelaide's project, the square was assigned the name "Mogata", from the Kaurna word Mukarta, meaning "head".

[10] This part contains four sculptures of oversized objects, namely, tap, hose, thong, and fish bones, designed by artists Ryan Sims and Gerry Wedd, who collaborated with landscape architects Taylor Cullity Lethlean to create a playground around the sculptures.

It is bordered by the Pullman Adelaide Hotel in the corner, and the Griffins Head pub on Grenfell Street.
