Are you allowed to smoke in this thread, as it says on the homepage?
*Puff* Ahh, that feels better...

Dunno, on a bus? I guess he'll be back in due course; until then, I have taken back the dribbler whacking mallet that was on long-term lease to him.jk1237 wrote:Where is Uncle Cruise?

I like the Fringe Poster 
Whats with the Bureau of Met forecasting rain for Adelaide almost everyday this week, and we get absolutely none, oh except for 0.4 Tues night. This morning and today we were meant to get widespread rain, and nothing. Rain clouds nowadays only pass over the mid-north and Kangaroo Island. FFS, have they got the work experience kid doing the forecasting or something, its torture

I just noticed Google Maps has plastered Adelaide with icons for all the bus stops, going way out into the edge of suburbia. If you click them, it tells you the stop number.
Maybe they're bringing in Public Transport directions on Google Maps, like Perth currently has?

Nice find! At least it's an improvement to what there used to be.
They also inserted the tram stops as well.

Found this rather interesting, because I've always believed Adelaide as the home of the 'quarter acre block'. At least we're consolidating people within our urban sprawl, it could be far worse you know!
Adelaide has the smallest backyards
Adelaide has the smallest backyards
ADELAIDE'S backyards are vanishing, according to new data that says the city now has the smallest blocks in the country.
A report from the Housing Industry Association and RP Data shows that Adelaide's lot sizes have reduced by 25-30 per cent since the early 1990s.
Adelaide's blocks are now, on average, 420sqm.
At the same time, prices have risen rapidly.
Will this result in more McMansions? What do you think. Fill in comments below.
The report found that median residential land prices across the nation have increased by 106 per cent in six years.
The HIA said the report confirmed the "enormous increase in land prices" in the face of "restrictive land release policies and burgeoning planning delays".
"We now have falling interest rates and a tripling of the First Home Owners Grant, which should provide a boost to new home building and the wider economy in 2009," HIA chief economist Harley Dale.
"There is, however, a real risk that the perennial problems of inadequate land release and excessive planning delays prevent the industry from boosting supply to the extent required over the next 18 months.
"That would come at a cost to the entire Australian economy."
RP Data Research director Tim Lawless said that land prices had softened by around $5000, or 2.1 per cent over the first half of 2008.
"Land prices are highest in Sydney and Perth where the average block is selling for $255,000 and $245,000 respectively," he said.
"Unsurprisingly, it is these two markets that have recorded the greatest fall in land prices over the last year, down by 15 per cent and 5 per cent over the year to June 08.
He said that Adelaide and Perth had the largest reductions in average lot sizes.
"The average lot size in Adelaide is now the smallest of any Australian capital city, at 420sqm," Mr Lawless said.

This surprised me as well! As an aside, i was pleased when the SA Govt recently backed down on its push for 350sqm blocks throughout Adelaide suburbia. This was to come into effect from early-2009. We do need more density, and i'm hoping it will be mainly achieved via more vertical development (such as high-rise TODs) instead of allowing developers to slice suburban housing blocks into ever smaller low-rise allotments...Shuz wrote:Found this rather interesting, because I've always believed Adelaide as the home of the 'quarter acre block'.

Just starting to leave for home but visited a building where a ladder was placed up against a wall in 1860 and is still there against the wall because no one inside the building can agree who has the right and authority to take it down...
Any guesses?

Did anyone see me out last night? Why does my arm hurt today, and who were those people I think I might have met?
