Btw this will be first time I have ever flown, so that could be interesting . Though I've been on the Ghan to Alice Springs, V/Line and the Overland before.

Pee Wee's Restaurant - World recognised (Phaidon Atlas of Contemporary Architecture) quintessentially tropical architecture with a view across the bay (not cheap food though)

Darwin's 'iconic' Convention Centre (virtually identical to ours).

Crawf, I would really appreciate it if you could take a few photos around the CBD, as in 2 years time I am really considering moving to Darwin for 1 year as part of my medical training.

I just relised today i wont retire until 2052, this saddens me

wow! 1st flight - hope you enjoy it. I've done 300+ flights, and still love it. A few times i've fallen asleep prior to take-off, and i regularly forget i'm 10km up in the air. Suppose we get used to anything...

Make sure you get down to the wharf for a great seafood meal. The views and atmosphere are as good
as you can get anywhere. Enjoy !

Just thought I'd show you all how a topicless thread should be done courtesy of the guys at Railpage. At it's height, an extra 100 pages a day were being added.

I bring forth a useless post!

Now I want you all to read all 2132 pages before class tommorrow!

(Because of the enormous strain on the Railpage server, which can't even handle an empty bowl of soup, the thread was locked but we have a mark II running now!)

I'm capped (ie slowed down to Dial-up speed) and will be so for another week. Oh, the humanity!

Thanks guys. don't worry Will I'll take heaps of pics

Moving on and got nothing to do with SA, though I just found this photo of my old hometown on Railpage taken by Matt McFarlane of a recent bad dust storm in Mildura


It really does bring memories back, we used to get some really bad dust storms when we were living there. Once there was a really bad dust storm back in 2004 and it looked like we were in Mars! it was pretty amazing, all you could see was just bright orange - even worse than that photo. Though the clean up wasn't fun.

Also once it rained mud up there, because of a bad dust storm then a thunderstorm. Speaking of thunderstorms I hope to see some really good ones up in Darwin, apparently they are amazing up there.

That dust storm hit us the other week too, but it was both preceded and followed by a very light rain, not enough to wash the dust away but enough to turn it into mud.

What's rather nice is how much better Adelaide looks when compared to US cities of a similar size.
