The Rest of Australia Thread

Thought we might broaden our horizons a bit, at least in one thread.

Here are a few shots of the big E that I took on the weekend:

Needless to say, it's fucking amazing in the flesh and makes an awesome twosome with Freshwater Place.

It'd only been 2003 since I'd been to Melbourne, but with the big new Southbank towers, Docklands, QV and a few other Northbank developments, it's really come along even further in that short space of time.

The Gateway Freeway in Brisbane is about to have a major upgrade:
Gateway Upgrade Project - About the project

Work on the Gateway Upgrade Project is planned to commence late 2006 and be completed by 2011.

The project will include:

a second Gateway Bridge on the eastern side of the existing bridge, approximately 50 m downstream
a shared pedestrian and cycle facility on the new bridge
more lanes with widening of the motorway between:
Mt Gravatt-Capalaba Road and Wynnum Road from four to six lanes
Wynnum Road and Lytton Road from four to eight lanes
a new four lane northern deviation of the motorway from the Gateway Bridge to Nudgee Road, through old and new airport land which includes a second access interchange to the airport.
