Police escorts are not uncommon for dignitaries and heads of state — but a jumbo-sized new arrival in the form of an Asian elephant will be making its presence felt on some of Adelaide's main roads on Tuesday evening.
Monarto Safari Park's newest arrival, Asian elephant Burma , will be arriving at Adelaide Airport after flying in from New Zealand.
"Our officers will be escorting the heavy vehicle transporting Burma from the airport, through the metropolitan area," police said. "The tunnels will be reduced to one lane to accommodate the truck whilst moving through, so expect some delays," police said.
