Claybro you perpetuate this notion "24/7 power" as though there is some sort of issue providing power 24 hours a day in this country.....there is not. Why do we need heaps and heaps of power at 3am? We don't because (obviously) there is little demand at 3am because for what I know of the ...

If only the federal government had built the Heavy Water Reactor at Jervis Bay then we probably wouldn’t need to worry about having a failing South Africa-tier Power grid.

BAHAHA, Giles is so full of sh!t. He’s been saying the same “gas power is totally dead right now you guys” spiel for years now. Synchronous Condensers might help stabilise the grid, but even with all this stuff you are still going to need on-demand electricity like gas turbines or combined cycle pla...

Not exactly sure what thread to post this in, however this seems to be a good place. A few days ago I was browsing the internet and found a collection of PDF documents that some here may find interesting. 1973/74 Subway Proposal http://railknowledgebank.com/Presto//GetDoc.axd?ctID=NmQ5ZmY0YWQtNTc4NS...

Got some pictures a few weeks ago. Both sites are currently undergoing piling works.

Went past this site yesterday. The site is almost completely cleared, but not much has changed since the last lot of pictures.

Got some pictures from North Terrace the other day. The McEwin Building (Space Agency headquarters) is looking pretty nice. Also, demolition of the Outpatients Block is well underway and interestingly, the dumbwaiter system used to transport documents up from the Records Dept. is visible near the to...

Imagine how many vacant lots are in the Food Court as of today?
Looks like the Myer Centre could be winding up in a few months.

lol no.

These pictures are a bit old, but the walkway connecting the Emergency and Outpatients Blocks has been demolished along with most of the Emergency Block and about half of the Helipad extension atop the Outpatients Block. Refurbishment appears to have begun on the Bice Building.

The new Owens-Illinois/ACI warehouse has certainly gone up quick. Was only a few months ago they were demolishing the old Shearer’s/Arrowcrest Plant.

Construction at Barkers Inlet Power Station (middle left of image) appears to be progressing well.

Not quite sure if this belongs here, but I got some pictures a few weeks ago of the construction of the new shipyards.

I don’t mean to bump what is basically a dead thread, however I noticed this article on The Advertiser the other day. https://www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/south-australia/closure-of-former-julia-farr-centre-confirmed-by-south-australian-government/news-story/8f0694d80d7e4c1111fcddd64999d41f [Paywalled]
