I was driving up South Road past the Happy Valley reservoir this afternoon and noticed they'd chopped down a whole plantation forest which has been there since I was born and replaced it with solar panels so much for 'green energy' :roll: From what I recall, it was always regarded as a commercial p...

I’ve seen this mentioned before and I have to ask, how do you get rail into Angle Vale? You don’t, hence the feeder buses. There’s already routes that link to Smithfield on the Gawler line, links to a potential station at Virginia would be invaluable if commuter rail ever makes it to Two Wells. Ah,...

If the government isn’t prepared to commit to a proper extension to Roseworthy, even trialling a diesel service between Gawler and Roseworthy would be a great first step as more houses are completed. Do enough trackworks to get them running at a fair speed on single track, timetable them to sync wi...

Agreed. Amidst all the tall promises of rail to Mount Barker and the stalled extension to Aldinga, rail to the Barossa and Roseworthy would by far be the easiest additions to the network. I'm curious - what do people see as the purpose of bringing back rail services to Roseworthy and the Barossa Va...

That was how the deal was presented at the time, to reduce backlash from giving up the line, but it's well known that there has been no enforcement of that condition. Wasn’t all or part of the line handed back to the State Government when Kroemer’s Crossing was severed? Or is it still under Aurizon...

Three times a week Adelaide to the other side of the planet? We've barely scratched the surface with direct flights to the Asian continent. True, but more than Australians visit the US than every Asian country except Indonesia (Bali), so demand is clearly there. Domestic-International transfers in ...

this is what gets me, a $40 million upgrade to facilities in the Barossa and $30 million spent in Mt Barker... this looks a lot like pork barelling. The local Mt Barker club wont even use the Summit Oval for its games. where is the legacy for football when this money could be spent on revitalising ...

I hope Gather Round in Lyndoch helps to make an issue of rail infrastructure in SA. This could form some important commentary if it's kept in the public conscience, and could time well for the next State Election if there is enough momentum. Agreed. Amidst all the tall promises of rail to Mount Bar...

Nick Champion spruiking the new tower on ABC Adelaide breakfast radio was asked if it could interfere with the airport flight path: "It won't be a problem because there are taller buildings in the rest of the CBD obviously".

Overpass was scrapped for two reasons: Inability to provide safe access to the tram depot. The turn into the depot is already very tight as it is. Secondly, they need to build a new depot anyway so there's no point in providing access to the current one while they scope options for a new one. So th...

Does anyone know what the hold up is in the Dunstan by-election count? Because of Easter, postal votes were still allowed until today. According to Antony Green, 81 more votes were included. Cressida O'Hanlon won by 354 votes. https://twitter.com/AntonyGreenElec/status/1775266434425491492 I interpr...

from 'your' abc https://pbs.twimg.com/media/GJ9C5FhaAAAeCdu?format=jpg&name=large I wonder what it means to "afford a house". Presumably it means to borrow and service a loan with minimum deposit. But is "a house" a detached four-bedroom home with two bathrooms, separate stu...

- Build a third track between Ovingham or Dudley Park and Grand Junction Road to allow express trains to pass. If the Adelaide Hills rail bypass is built, that will free up one track between Dry Creek and the city. There's actually enough space to have two extra tracks, so there could be express tr...

Buckland Park still exists. It's west and south of what's now RIverlea Park. I've noticed as well quite a few of the homes built, have a noticeable elevation from the footpath, about a foot or 2 or there about's. Most houses have some drop from the home to the foopath anyway, so not sure if it's ju...
