Pretty good website, very informative. However my only criticism is that the photos they have used of Adelaide which appear in the background are from the early 1990's. In fact in one, you can see 'State Bank' still on the Westpac Tower :wank:
no, i think it is the westpac signage before they coloured it red.
besides, horizon, embassy and the convention centre are all present in the shot, which were all built post-1990.
I'm talking about the photos once you enter the site. :roll:

fair enough, it was a misinterpretation of what you said, but there's no need to get cocky...

That's trivial, you don't have to live in it. Invest and let someone else live there and pocket some money. :wink:

Anything is better than the awful UniSA Unihouse. I feel sorry for the poor students who have to live in there.

Good to see the site wok has started. Drilling for the circular foundation piers has started. There is no basement so there should be some quick progress.

Crane base installed on eastern side, near Albert street. The foundations are finished but the ground-floor and plumbing seem to be taking forever and nothing is built above the ground yet. I think the crane could go in any weekend from now on, but will probably be after Chirstmas.

Oh well, thanks to the American company who started the iWorld and now, everything starts with i.

Like the building, like the location, like the facilities, but not the name, how can one be so uncreative when it comes to deciding the name for it, goodness.
