Regarding the "old Mate" advertisement, I was quick to write it off as a mistake purely from online surveys and reading/listening to media commentary over the past few days. After actually watching it today for the first time, I really can't see what the big deal is about. For starters it...

A new taxi drop-off will be/has been created near the hotel construction site, where the old International Terminal used to be. Melbourne and Brisbane Airports now have dedicated pick-up and drop off areas, similar to how they are in Adelaide. Melbourne still has the dedicated ramp up to the depart...

re: pickup/drop off zone Apologies if this was discussed earlier in the thread, but something has to be done about the pick up/drop off road. Any plans for this? Going back in time, obviously the original plan was the implemented separate levels of departures and arrivals. When they decided to move ...

Apparently that's considered racism and offensive these days???

I tend to think that they went out of business because it's hard for them to compete with pubs that can sell subsidised meals because they make money from pokies. All you can eat doesn't seem to work either, Pizza Hut was all you can eat and they also closed down their restaurants. Sizzler still ex...

this is hardly rocket science - more dense, public transport focussed, lively downtowns with large residential populations are cities that are far more livable and tourist friendly, than suburban, sprawling, freeway oriented car dependant cities.

This is annoying http://www.melbournefringe.com.au/ There is now even a Sydney and Perth one and get this the Perth one has created their own "Garden of unearthly delights". I can see the competition between cities heating up over the next decade. Dont be too concerned about the Perth &qu...

Just to differentiate from the "club" scene, i thought i'd make a bar/pub scene for us folk that dont like the loud/dark atmosphere's of clubs. Heading to Adelaide in November, and prefer the bar/pub scene where the crowds are generally mature and are able to engage socially. What are the ...

Am I wrong to think that something like that would look fantastic on the MCL Building in Victoria Square? I actually live in Perth and it looks much better than in the picture... Here is another story about it, and a few other pics as well... http://www.viccreations.com.au/2010/04/perth-council-hou...

The amazing Council House, which is regarded as one of the best examples of the purity of modernism. However they did try to demolish it earlier this decade, however it managed to ...
