What picture was it?

Hello, I've caused a ruckus in the Credit Union/West Terrace thread!

My Predictions for 2010:
* Massive Skyshow fireworks display on Mar 13. Rann parachutes into the event to the cheers of spectators
* Labor wins election - just. Independents get several seats - makes the govt work harder
* Construction of new RAH starts late in the year. S-A members chain themselves to the railway tracks in protest
* SA population growth is fastest ever seen
* Spire achieves sufficient pre-purchase levels to begin construction
* Plans for Adelaide Oval expansion delayed to 2012
* Desal plant suffers several months of start-up issues/delays
* Extremely high rainfall in murray/darling system - but lower lakes remain empty. SA blames VIC/NSW
* A reality TV show based on the lives of Outback Miners fails miserably (Title: Do you really want to dig?)
* VSQ redevelopment commences. Most S-A members unhappy with result
* Alexander Downer becomes next lord mayor
* ACC & surrounding councils build more bike lanes, and cycling starts to become truly popular
* CBD congestion tax implemented
* Govt announces Southern Expressway to be made bi-directional

Whatever happens, sure are interesting times ahead - Happy New Year to all

All I'll say is considering there's an election coming up, the Rann government will make ever effort to announce election promises for projects that won't even happen until after 2014. Consider it a vote of assurance. But I think the big thing next year will be Adelaide's catalyst from whinging backwater to development enterprise. Spire and Rundle cranes to dominate skyline. Victoria sqaure dug up into a big hole, Adelaide oval expanding, torrens footbridge u/c. It will be almost as if every street corner you walk in the city, something new will be happening. Bring on 2010!

2010, I personally plan on doing some traveling around Australia and overseas, then later on returning back to Adelaide to live .

Happy New Year everyone.

Oh hai i'd like to wish everyone a very happy new year !

Happy New Year 2010 Everyone!! I hope it will be much better than 2009!
