It is but a wee small world that we live in.

Hey Crawf, what is your mum's first name and did she work at any particular branch? My wife is curious too!

By the way, I love your work on SCC. Shows your lefty, creative side!

You mean "could have"

I was there from 1983 to 1988 and again 1990 to 1998. My wife worked for Westpac during the same period, so I'm very sure she would know your mum.

She's obviously highly intelligent that Caroline Wilkie ! :wink: Having said that, I wouldn't be keen on a tower like the one in Sydney. A taller building than Westpac with top floors dedicated to panoramic viewing, and maybe a revolving restaurant would suffice. Other suggestions such as the reloca...

San Diego's airport is way down south of the CBD, it's past Candlestick Park and sitting on the edge of the bay. San Diego's airport is immediately NW of the CBD and bloody close to it. San Diego has approximately 10 buildings around 150m. http://i253.photobucket.com/albums/hh64/wilkiebarkid/SANDIE...

She did, apparently at Westpac. This is starting to get a bit weird :shock: :lol: CRIKEY! I lived in the Westpac Men's accommodation in Knuckey Street and often found myself at the Women's flats called 'Taran' in McLachlan Street. We all used to socialise together at the then Don Hotel and obviousl...

CMI Toyota/Lexus complex - West Terrace



This development should commence soon. Just received notice from Lexus that they have moved due to redevelopment.

hah! my mother used to go to those places years ago when she lived there. You're not left handed by any chance are you,......son? I am..., whys that? :shock: So am I! I was just kidding.

Has anyone been into the UPark in this complex? Is it an automatic one like the new Vaughan Place? Or a Pay and display like the old open air Grote UPark? It's the same as Myer. Push button ticketing and a drive-thru booth with an attendant. I was there a few weeks ago and parked for approx 20 minu...

Hmmm...nothing like being up to date with what's happening in this city. Perhaps they could have said contruction began 'last year'.

The Advertiser today (12 May) reports the commencement of construction for a 300 room student apartment venue on Hindley Street. A joint venture between Macquarie Group, Built Environs and Southbank Group. Is this (140 North Tce) the development they are referring to?

Well, the railyards are going either way, TA is already relocating its depots to the suburbs. Tracks will still be required for the northern and western lines close to the river and the others heading south, closer to North Terrace, and service tracks that may be required, so there isn't much scope...

And I concede that to argue the Railyards are parkland is a little difficult, but they must have been at one stage, and they are north of North Tce, which if you look at all the old maps, is denoted, "Park Land". So the only use other than their current one must be: parkland. If you expec...
