The southern O'Bahn was looked into a decade or so ago. The route to Darlington would utilize the old Glenelg train route, then the Sturt River linear park - not the most direct route. Then there was no-where to go. No point putting an O'Bahn up the hill, as busses are speed-limited by the incline a...

Genuine apologies for the generalizations guys. Mants, I agree there are some very good public schools in Adelaide, in fact I would go so far as to say that in South Australia we now have a very good public education system. However I still stick by my claim that the previous government promoted pri...

Yes, Labor aims to keep the average "arsehole" (your term) satisfied. The Libs, on the other hand, aim at polarising society, keeping the rich arseholes satisfied and stomping on the average arseholes in a desperate and transparent bid to get rid of the middle class and create a realm of a...

This is from the company's media page, but it is dated October 2005: “The operating company, Sea Transport SA, plans two ferries doing a total of 16 crossings (eight return trips) per day and transporting up to 62 vehicles and 400 passengers each trip. “The crossing would take about an h...

I wonder what the chances are of the old Northfield Railway Line being re-laid and extended into this new suburban area, maybe as light rail. Might even be a good opportunity to lay our first electric light rail line.

No, they'll probably be serviced by a few more smokin', stinkin' crowded busses.

What is going on is that a lot of what is actually re-cyclable is treated as rubbish by a lot of people. I have a friend who told me "We don't have any tins" yet she has 2 big dogs who eat a tin of food each, every night. When I pointed this out, she said "Oh, they wouldn't want those...

Crawf, you get super-excited, and super-happy over what the Advertiser beats up into "good news". Its not. I have noticed that The Advertiser publishes a lot more negative spin about what this government achieves than positive spin - it is clearly a biased tabloid, and there are a lot of ...

There has been talk on the radio this week about the long-mooted Wallaroo to Lucky Bay (near Cowell) Ferry getting up and running by the end of the year, cutting 4 hours of driving from the Adelaide to Port Lincoln trip. I can't find it on the Net, does anyone have any more information? Like how lon...

Up in the Hills we have a 2-bin system, a big yellow-lided bin for recycling which gets emptied every fortnight and, in our case, is nearly always full, and a smaller blue lided bin, similar to your red one Edgar, which gets emptied weekly and is never full. There are 4 people living in my house. I'...

Sometimes when I read comments on this forum I get the feeling there's a "development at any cost" attitude. Personally, I think billboards are unsightly and would much rather look at the countryside than a billboard from a highway or from a train. Granted, they generate income - they're s...

Murray Bridge residents might not like this outcome. I hear the Farmers Federation this morning complaining that there's not enough of the budget's money going to rural areas. Murray Bridge is a rural area. It's not as if prisoners are escaping from jail all the time. It's not as if the jails are g...

are there any plans to transform a country town into a regional satellite city> eg: pt lincoln? Mount Barker, Littlehampton and Nairne are growing incredibly quickly. They are the first places you come to on the other side of the watershed, and the Adelaide-Crafers freeway has reduced travel time f...

Making the Southern Expressway a dual-carriageway highway and extending the Noarlunga railway would be a good start!

Getting rid of under-utilized, old-technology schools and replacing them with new facilities that will offer the best education possible for our kids is a great thing. Having 4-year-olds (kindergarten kids) on the same campus as 17-yr-olds (Matriculation students) - I'm not so sure. If it is managed...

Because Elizabeth and Salisbury have been a smashing success! Henley Beach South, and much of Henley Beach, where I lived when I was young, was a Housing Trust Suburb from the days when the Trust built affordable housing which they then sold to young families. It never went the way of Salisbury and...
