CBD Crane Counter

Given all the construction going on at the moment, the expectation of plenty more to come and the apparent collective fascination of S-A members with cranes, I thought we should keep a running tally (which might also save any future arguments about how many cranes were erected during "the const...

Re: Cars and excessive speed

A few reasons I can think of... Because you might want to drive to NT, where you can go as fast as you like. Because you might want to take your car to a race track, where you can go as fast as you like. Because we live in a democracy, not a communist state. Because going fast is fun! :wink: Carefu...

Re: Vision: The New Adelaide Metro Era

Norman, I haven't been round here very long, so my apologies if this has been discussed before, but your Subway Project was one of the first things I noticed when I first discovered S-A a couple of months ago.

Re: #Vision: New Inner-City Stadium

wow! this is good news, but still very early days...Will be interested to hear Rann's response :-) Some basic sums: * SANFL receives $350m for sale of land at west lakes * SANFL was willing to spend $200 on upgrading AAMI stadium ==> that's $550m towards a new stadium!!!

[COM] Re: #U/C: The Precinct - 5 x 62m, 19 lvl Towers

Hey team, my first post... Back on topic... Just had cause to drive past this site (literally 30 minutes ago) and I thought y'all might like to know that there was some serious concrete being poured. Tonnes of workers around, Morphett St traffic down to one lane, etc, etc. That's all for now. Lookin...
