Some members (and some mods) here need to calm down about some things and not think everything is a big conspiracy against Adelaide South Australia.
Perhaps gain some perspective and have a cool sweet drink before posting outrage.

They did a fair bit of filming at the end of last year on East Tce too, around Rundle Park and the former ETC tenancy. Based on the film/book, I believe. Honestly, rather than set the show in Adelaide where the majority of its exterior shots are filmed they would rather have people believe that it'...

That "Price Conversion Chart" is ridiculous. 100 yen is $0.96, but in-store? $3.30! The 100yen is a to refer to the price printed on the packaging, which is pre-tax in Japan. Then factor in the cost of importing, and then buffer for the exchange rate (which as until recently been closer t...

Not surprising, another airport getting tonnes of investment. Perth airport getting massive deal with qantas to double flights and new infrastructure. https://www.abc.net.au/news/2024-05-31/wa-perth-airport-terminals-consolidation-in-qantas-deal/103917998 And as per ususual, Adelaide get fuck all :...

Excellent :) This is a really important project for Adelaide and SA. If this and the Tower 2 are built, it will change the look and the perception of Adelaide. Good luck :) and I look forward to seeing the final building layout and visualisations on the SCAP agenda :) Indeed, these buildings should...

You have a false equivalence of homeless and antisocial. Besides that, what stops homeless people (or railfans) getting on the first train in the morning (paying one fare if applicable) and staying there all day? Is there more than just a lack of onboard toilets and food services? the paying part t...

I don't love it and it is very in your face. It will dull with time though.

You don't have to love it. You only have to think it's no worse than a blank concrete wall with saltdamp stains on it.

you wouldn't look at the wall if it weren't highlighted by this 'mural'

I can see where they're coming from. They want to look at the sea and not be distracted by the wall which looks like trash piled up with this mural on it. Cooked comment. As if you would say that it looks trash. Plus the wall is there to protect the community during storms, unless you are an advoca...

as I said before, you'll get homeless people riding around on it all day and night just like public libraries where they're allowed to sleep in all day and throw their food & trash all over the floor... no matter about hygiene...that's all gone out the window for 'social justice' You have a fal...

Not this again. "Free" PT isn't actually Free, is it, because somebody (the taxpayer) still has to pay for it. While it's a pretty blunt stick to use, charging for PT use is one of the few levers available to balance supply and demand, especially during peak periods where there's a limit ...

so vagrants can sleep on trains

I hope the platform at the new Port Dock Station is long enough to cater for NRM events

Mali wouldn't want to upset the foamer lobby

In 1836, a port was essential for a remote new colony. The river was barely navigable all year round before the barrages were installed. Having said that, Governor Hindmarsh preferred Victor Harbor. That would have sufficed till it ran out of space and water, by which time rail technology would hav...
