[COM] Re: #UC: Adelaide Zoo | Redevelopment

I know this is off topic, but what's with people bagging the Festival theatre? (I presume that's what people mean when they say we need a 'good theatre'). The FC is brilliant for sound and experience- a damn site better than the Sydney Opera House, which is shit. there's a reason why SA had the Sout...

Re: Desalination plant for Adelaide

Wouldn't it cost more per megalitre to run two desal plants than to run one large desal plant? Yes the pile infrastructure is somewhat costly, but doesn't economy of scale take care of this? On that note, I've noticed that the desal plant seems a little... small. I would have thought that making it ...

Re: Buses vs Trains Debate

Surely the O'bahn would be a train rather than a tram, since it only has three stops? (this is assuming it will be converted to rail...)

Metal clubs?

No, not the weapon. I am a fan of metal music, and as such am looking for a pub/club (preferably the former) that plays metal music. Does anyone know of a place in Adelaide (or perhaps the NE suburbs?) like this?

Re: Plastic bags to be banned in SA from January 1st 2009

I voted no. Firstly, the principle argument supporting the ban is environmental- plastic bags make their way into waterways and create an environmental hazard. However, research has shown that a majority of plastic bags that end up as little come not from large supermarkets, but from the stores that...

Re: Buses vs Trains Debate

That's an interesting suggestion. So what will the o'bahn buses do? Terminate just outside the city where passengers will get off, then get onto a tram for the rest of the journey into the city?

Re: Buses vs Trains Debate

I heard that the o'Bahn was intended to have 'spurs' so that buses can join up at points that aren't interchanges? Or is that incorrect?
