Makes up for all the desert in the state! Also makes up for all the hot places - alternatives are needed! Eg. rain!!. Seriously, I am surprised at how little support MG and the surounding area has had from the state government over so many things. The Mill is an exception.It's like 'out of sight, ou...

Apologies to Will - made a blue with the quote in previous post. Also apologies to Shuza.

Will said 'Although I agree that the tram extension would have a beneficial effect upon southern KWS, another factor has provoked the recent amount of high rise proposals for the southern section of the CBD is ultimately how the council decided to lift height restrictions from 17m to the current 40m...

fantastic photos n this thread - real magnet to keep coming back. On a different point, I note with great interest the number of high rise buildings being proposed and approved in southern KWS. Thse proposals/approvals have occurred SINCE the tramline extension proposal/approval. (especially when th...

Looks btilliant to me. There is nothing else being built that is like it. I echo previously expressed and inferred feelings - the sooner they get on with it the better. Inaction speaks well of nothing. North Adelaide needs that hole fiilled up - it's a disgusting eyesore in a top city. The new desig...

MG is unique in many ways and I too would love to see it crack 50,000. I think more realistically that it will crack 30,000 Mt.Gambier's population now 24,042 accourding to lartest ABS reports. It stands to gain indirectly through the close proximity of the mill (about 40km away). As MG has a large ...

FROM THE ABC NEWS (Approx.20/4/07) Next update on the pulp mill - 'Pulp mill developer Protavia had proposed mills near the Vistorian town of Heywood and at Penola'. "The Heywood Pulp mill community Reference Group says it has been told Protavia wll now only look to build at Penola.....The reas...

Absolutely stunning render!!! Visionary!! Iconic!! It will establish us (me being an SA person but in Brisbane) ) on the world stage in a visible way. Stacks more impressive than anything in Brisbane or the Gold Coast!! The development in Adelaide concerning building proposals seems to be escalating...

Took me a while to twig on to this one!!. Top news!! Adelaide on the move!! Could even have an iconic appearance - Adelaide is in need of such! I read of the concerns about the Adelaide airport influencing the height of these towers. Of note - I found out that airspace can be bought - at a price - a...

In response of your thoughts Brandon King - while I recognise many of the shortcomings of Adelaide that you mention, the place has been in a bad way over the last 15 odd years. HOWEVER - not so now - look at the pace development is moving, how many are coming to live in the CBD (as a percentage grow...

Back again - this whole thing has touched a nerve! I am a general supporter of centralisation when it comes decentralisation causing such a bad reputation/result such as that at Keswick. The same principle applies for the CBD - So many big suburban shopping centres causes the CBD to seem dead. (alth...

Just had a look at Keswick on whereis.com.au (very similar to google) I have to agree with Ho Really - it will not be doomed. And, as HoReally intimated, the whole place looks like it was dumped in the middle of masses of railway yards both sides. Coming down that ramp to the station gives the same ...

I agree also - the building is a real 'clasic' - to use the current vernacular. It gets more impressive with age as there are fewer buildings like it. Marble has always been used where 'class' is in mind. Not everything has to have a modern appearance to be aesthetically attractive. It seems a littl...

A small note re the comparison of Adelaide, Brisbane and Sydney sstems in the early 20th century. Sydney was electrifierd by 1920 and had a huge system. Brisbane had a system comparable to Adelaide's then. (Adelaide was also biigger than Brisbane then). Adelaide locomotive power was the biggest in A...

Ahhh! Don't this just warm your heart! Adelaide is making the grade!- I used this airport in Jan this year to go to Brisbane. It's enormous, ORGANISED, user friendly and clean expanse could'nt help but impress. I agree with the Dubai report - it is more impressive than that at Brisbane. What else im...
