So Adelaide Airport is approximately 7km from the low rise western end of Adelaide and a 10 story building is too high for all sorts of technical and safety reasons.

Hmmm, they should have told Gibraltar this!!

Now that's what I call close.

Can you imagine a road crossing a runway. Amazing!

Note the Spanish border in the background of the 2nd photo.

And they're driving on the wrong side of the road. I thought they were British! :wink:

i like how they've put a servo right infront of that appartment block in Gibraltar, they want to ensure a fire ball that you'll be able to roast your marshmallows on from over a mile away. :D
