it was taken from about

Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

just one of those 'meh' suburban buildings for me. looks like all the crap they're putting up in Mawson lakes.
Could look a bit dated in 20 years

The more I look at it, the more I think you're spot-on here.
And in a wierd way, that makes me appreciate it a bit more
You'd have to try pretty hard to make Richmond Road look any worse, anyway.
cheers,

I walked from Marion Rd to Grove Avenue in the drizzle yesterday - World Park was visible in the distance, & I was thinking how shabby Richmond Rd looks
in that area by comparison - in Grove Ave, a large rat casually walked in front of me & squeezed through the fence into ETSA Utilities land.

You're not the only one! Their branding is terrible, and the name conjures up thoughts of unpleasant odours.
