Re: APP: Cumberland Park Shopping Centre Redevelopment

The first Big W.... Tamworth in the late 1970s. Shows how little the Cumberland Park store has changed since 1977. Wow, absolute spitting image. Having lived 500 metres from this store since I was 5 years old it is kind of sad to see it go. Working there (up until last year) you got to see all the ...

Re: Discussion: New MetroCard System

I have not used a Metrocard yet but I can think of plenty of advantages over the current paper tickets i.e. 1) Much quicker boardings on buses speeding up the entire bus service 2) The ability to top-up online meaning you can never have to "go out" to purchase travel credit 3) The ability...

Re: Public transport smartcard system

Have been using the metrocard for the past ~2 months, and honestly it is a major let down, no advantage over conventional tickets at all as yet, at least until they have the website up and running to set up auto top ups etc. I really think they should implement a tap on tap off process, so fares are...

[COM] Re: APP Rundle Pl/Bendigo Adel Bank, Harris Scarfe, Coles 72

Today me and my friend managed to sneak into the safe, there were multiple old portraits sitting on a bench, a smaller safe against the wall, with just some little old metal storage boxes inside, it was quite interesting though!
Saw some writing on the wall from '81.
Pics soon!

The Woolworths will be getting a large increase in area, while getting set back towards the ...
