A couple of photos from today - not easy to get a decent shot with the covering around the site.

Great idea, great location right near the edge of the city, nice use of the old hotel.

What other heritage things need to be restored to Adelaide Railway Station?

Replacing the Convention Centre carparks with platforms for regional & interstate trains.

Yeah, imagine if we had a large public square in the centre of Adelaide! Maybe you could even add some more. Can you imagine if we had, like, 5 squares spread throughout the CBD? Maybe another one in North Adelaide for good measure? But, alas...
