The real cost of road fright is nowhere near covered by the users, and it has been a false economy sifting everything to road freight. Costs in road deterioration, extra congestion, pollution including emissions and roadside residue , noise, road fatalaties..the list goes on. If they are really comm...

Interesting. Would be ace to see some big lux brands here. CBD should focus on securing a Zara, and some other cool yet affordable brands. Seems a shame this site has become such a behemoth. The site is restricted, surrounded by low density housing, bordered by a major truck route and very busy int...

The extent of the Aboriginal collection in SA is not really widely known or appreciated. Here is the perfect opportunity for SA to create something spectacular and world renowned, and not just a token kitsche venue of stale fixed displays. i really hope that the current government pushes on with thi...

Whilst not part if SA, Mildura is closer to Adelaide than Melbourne and if it were in SA, Mildura would be our largest regional centre by a long shot. Now with Rex cutting Adelaide to Mildura flights, there's literally no public transport direct from Adelaide to Mildura. Qantaslink pulled out of th...

It seems as with the gather round, I have to start this thread from WA. Are you guys awake over there? Do you have any idea how many people are talking about Adelaide as a result of firstly Gather Round, and now Liv? The reporting from the event on the weekend was almost gushing, and never before ha...

As a result of the discussion on the Gather round thread relating to regional matches, Out of curiosity I googled Adelaide to Mount Gambier, due to a comment on the proximity (ease of travel) from Melbourne to Mt Gambier. To say I was blown away is an understatement. Using Google Maps as a search, f...

1.1% growth isn't that exciting. Does it even put us in the 'catch up' (to the other states) phase? Definitely not. But the overall growth figure was 1.4% for S.A which is important, meaning the population of regional areas is growing at a healthy rate. basically just people moving from Adelaide to...

Norwood Oval needs a serious upgrade if its gonna host again next year. The lighting is terrible and the pitch dimensions are completely out of whack. Not to mention the seating and terraces need improving. Cue the SA flagulation brigade. Everyone here is absolutely raving about the concept.. and m...

Surprised no one has posted here about this. I don't recall an event when Adelaide has been so present in the media since I moved to Perth 10 years ago. Regardless of your thoughts on sport or AFL in particular, this event has captured media attention and in a very positive way. Have not heard the u...

THEN...next brain fart out of nowhere was reopening the Port dock spur, using heavy rail terminating at Port Dock. The last proposal meant the end of light rail on this corridor.-It's dead-gone-done for. Not necessarily. I suspect that spur was proposed partially as a Trojan horse. Get that Port Do...

It might depend on plans for the Outer Harbor line. If that was to be converted to light rail, a new depot is required. Or any expansion, really. Morphetville is chockers. I think OH as light rail is off the cards, but time will tell. Outer Harbor to the CBD as a tram just sounds like too much of a...

The Steel Wikipedia article starts "Steel is an alloy of iron and carbon ..." Coal contains carbon. Hydrogen does not. To continue to make steel from iron ore (or scrap iron), a source of metallurgical carbon will be required. Is this a destination for all that stockpiled soft plastic? Wi...

Its gas driving the price rise of electricity in South Australia pure and simple. Gas is a price leader/setter in the South Australian electricity market. If gas bids higher prices into the market then prices of renewables go up (Yes this is the way it works....the highest bidder sets the price and...
