Alright folks, listen up. If you're strolling around Adelaide and don't check out the Rundle Mall Balls, you're missing out big time. These two giant shiny spheres are a staple of Adelaide's culture - I mean, they're practically a rite of passage for anyone stepping foot in this city. Let me tell you, these balls aren't just a standout piece of art; they're a fantastic meeting spot, too. "Meet you at the balls!" is a phrase you'll hear often around here, and trust me, it never gets old. But the best part? The reflection. It's like a kaleidoscope of Adelaide's life - you see the people, the hustle-bustle, the beautiful surrounding architecture... it all gets captured on that shiny surface. It's bloody brilliant! So go ahead, snap a picture, have a laugh, and enjoy this iconic piece of Adelaide's heart. 5 stars, no doubt!

The image of the two connected spheres graces T-shirts, key rings and posters of Adelaide, sometimes with the phrase “Adelaide’s Got Balls”. Vienna-born Flugelman migrated to Australia at a young age, studying at the National Art School in Sydney and exhibiting internationally before taking up a post lecturer and later Head of Sculpture at the South Australian School of Art between 1972 and 1983. Made from a pair of larger-than-life stainless steel spheres sitting one atop the other, the artwork measures just over 4 metres tall and was brought to life by Vienna-born artist Bert Flugelman. Flugelman always wanted the artwork to be interacted with. Today, The Spheres is a popular meeting place, with most Adelaide locals having met someone at the Mall's Balls when visiting Rundle Mall.

Iconic meeting spot. Where locals unquestionably meet. Near the Fringe Box Office. If you’re coming in from the west side don’t mistake the giant architectural balls for our giant shiny architectural silver pigeon. Why have the Eiffel Tower when you can have a pigeon, pigs, and horizontal phenomenon such as our cute expensive art displays which is the optimal meeting point. You tell your local friends to meet at the ‘balls/malls balls.’ Don’t ask a person from another state to meet you at the balls; it’ll confuse them terribly.

Nothing more iconic in the Adelaide CBD than the Malls Balls. Great spot to take a photo, great landmark to meet up with your friends. It’s been there longer than I can remember. The Adelaide City Council do a great job to keep it clean and presentable. 8

Around the main city hub in Adelaide, you will see this spot filled with quirky statues. ie Malls Balls, Pigs going through the trash, and others. I am not a shopping person, but I walked passed by and had to capture these fun landmark in Adelaide.

The Silver balls are around for a long long time and while visiting and meeting people in Adelaide we always said lets meet at the Balls. People trying to shoot their reflection or just posing in front of it. They are an icon in Rundle Mall.
