Sea mammals such as whales and dolphins are beautiful and very intelligent animals. Last year I studied a topic called biological diversity in uni, and after doing that topic I am 100% sure that whales and dolphins have the sufficient intelect to understand that they are being killed. Whaling is dis...

The government has already set aside $30 million for a tram extension to O'Connell Street in the 2006/2007 state budget. The government has made no pledges about further tram extensions, however with the state's strengthening economy and the prospect of 8-12 years of Labor government I am confident ...

Thank for the images RB! Just for the sake of it I drove on the new expressway last weekend, and whilst I really liked the look and feel of the road, specially the entrance to Port Adelaide, I cannot understand why the speed limit is 80. This defies logic as the South Road connector has a speed limi...

Well now that Rann has thankfully been re-elected we should soon see the construction of the tramline extension to the railway station. It was meant to start early this year from memory but was stalled due to the election. Any details on when work may commence? Imagine all the whinging in The Adver...

A lease has been signed by the developer and SA Water for a tower of 16 660 sqm2. The lease also mentions that SA Water expects to have the building ready for occupation by August 15, 2008. If it is not ready by then, the developers have to pay a fine of around $1000 per day until it is complete ris...

Just in case someone is interested: The old Hotel Adelaide International was built in 1960, and it was Adelaide's first 'international' standard hotel. As a result there were some calls to have it heritage listed when the council first received the re-development plans by Urban Construct. The buildi...

I reckon if Will attended the meeting, we'd be reading about it in the Advertiser. I don't get it? Are you having a go at me, by linking me with such a publication? Anyway nothing interesting happened at the meeting. The only notable thing was that the demolition of the tram barn was approved again...

Since the countdown clock on the Advertiser building was removed, Adelaide has not been the same. It is great to have a new Adelaide countdown clock!

I made it that way because at times we post renders up before they hit local media, in a way i'd like to protect our regulars on here so they feel comfortable in posting freely on a semi-private community. If people really want to see what's inside the box they can register. If there's enough deman...

I would if I had the time.

This project, plus all the other goodies in the outback have the capacity to turn SA into another WA. Even though companies may not move their headquarters to Adelaide, the thousands of new jobs, investments and the royalties going to the state will stimulate the SA economy. However saying this, com...

Alexander Downer's attack on the premier was so pathetic. Claiming that Rann takes the credit for federal government projects...

It baffles me how people can whinge about the tram extension, the Fringe or the Clipsal 500. Tram extension - too many sweating tourists. The Fringe - unwashed hippies. The Clipsal 500 - beer-drenched bogans. I joke, of course. Our fair city's ticking along nicely this month, wouldn't you say? Yes ...

I'm all for a toll (provided it is a government-administered road) but there should be some bus lanes on a N/S freeway to aid public transport (to make it attractive too). The anti-toll message is something that the NIMBY's would use. A fairly-priced toll to pay off a good peice of infrastructure i...
