I've driven over the Penang bridge in Malaysia which is about 15km and believe me, it wasn't boring. Just the fact that you have open water beneath you makes the drive interesting.

It's for the greater good anyway.

Melbourne day trips! Yay!!

I heard on the radio this morning that Tiger Airways will make a decision today on whether to start flying into Adelaide. Hopefully all goes well!

Another article from ABC News. This is great coupled with the fact that more people seem to want to live closer to town. This should give Adelaide a nice density which is so needed if we're to get that "buzz". Mining projects boost Adelaide population Adelaide is growing at a faster rate, ...
