Anstey Hill Recreation Park Anstey Hill is a diverse and historically interesting park in Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs. The park is characterised by steep gullies and creek lines and provides good views of the city and some substantial relics of European occupation to photograph and explore. First farmed in the 1840s, the area was subsequently used for mining, grazing, fruit growing and a plant nursery, which is now in ruins. Anstey Hill offers ample opportunities for bushwalkers, birdwatchers, photographers, painters and geocachers. The park is noted for its springtime display of orchids.

The first Enigma was invented by German engineer Arthur Scherbius at the end of World War I. This model and its variants were used commercially from the early 1920s, and adopted by military and government services of several countries — most notably by Nazi Germany before and during World War II. Several different Enigma models were produced, but the German military models, the Wehrmacht Enigmas, are the ones most commonly discussed.
