oh look telstra exchange, see it will look good when it has some buddies. but if we could get a helicopter and position it somewhere around the position of leederville station you would get a great shot of the city and all of the cranes in the wellington street area etc

Telstra exchange is a practical building... it houses delicate equipment that cant have exposure to sunlight. Maybe if it looked like the pics below it i would think that would look better, a change in colour perhaps is all it needs?or the city. However maybe a colour scheme like the pictures shown below it might be in order perhaps?

the only thing with the pictures is how the last post constantly oves down as the pictures expand.
it would be such an easy setting to have the spaces "set" and then filled as they download.
so you can just scroll to the bottom and not have it drop away from you for like 5 minutes!

From a footballing perspective he was a rather dour coach... and Mich didnt do anything either... the NSL was a shit league and we payed better money so that is why we were better...
winning is one thing, having interested investors/owners is another, a coach with a personality is something too... but also the cash and money to buy players to get the results is another...
oh and anothe rthing the FFA fail to realise... MARKETING... advertising almost spam like will get people aware that they actually play games! :lol:

September 24th, 2008, 09:24 AM
That's what they replaced the trams with although for a long time they competed with the trams. The trolleybus network in perth was more extensive than the tram network ever was. It went through Mt Lawley, Inglewood, Mt Hawthorn, Leederville, Claremont, the City, Floreat, East Perth, South Perth, Como and Wembley. They ran from 1933 - 1969. I posted a map of the network on a thread somewhere a few months ago.

ok i decided to take a look at what perth could look like if we included some of the current theoritical proposals which are out there. they are the treasury building, ABC studios and the redesigned 210 adelaide tce, now these are each close to what height we have heard rumoured but none of them are garunteed to go ahead looking anything like this.
http://img88.imageshack.us/img88/9113/southperthmediumrenderig9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
looking at this we just need some massive 250m proposal on the old A block of RPH and we would have an aesome skyline which would also look 3d, rather than having it on the terrace.

treasury yes, but you can see with the other 2 that the others are like a group of teens suffering from peer pressure and are all the same height... looking like a collection of fridges and washers and dryers and freezers... But if they ever got approved that would be a nice sight of course. means the highrise 'can' move outside of the terrace

They was taken from about the third floor of the Mantra on Murray (formerly Pacific International). Whenever I stay there I try and find someone cleaning the rooms facing Murray St so I can get some pics of Raine Square directly opposite the hotel (crew always seem to have rooms facing the City).
Anyone who works in the City can probably get good views of the City from their buildings that most of us don't have. I wouldn't mind seeing people posting some of these too.

Ok then, so this is a Vision of what Perth could look like, if every project went ahead without being scaled down, as well as a couple of empty sites (such as next to Condor and across the street from the ABC studious) were to get something to the MAXIMUM
http://img398.imageshack.us/img398/5939/optomismge0.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
Now because no-one was happy with a fantasy map, i made up a more realistic one which only shows projects which are currently proposed.
http://img133.imageshack.us/img133/9743/proposedhs5.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
but everyone was complaining that it must look realistic, to show what is most likely to happen, so this shows everything that is Approved.
http://img515.imageshack.us/img515/9796/approvedoc9.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
and this is what would happen if the projects currently under-construction were finished, but nothing else was then started, so UC.
http://img373.imageshack.us/img373/1779/ucop5.jpg (http://imageshack.us)
I HOPE that makes you all happy and stop asking for the more realistic version. because to me the realistic version looks dire and nowhere near as good as the Vision one.

they are 1 bedroom apartments and also some bedsits. there have been rumours for years that thruout the terrace road strip there are apartments owned by people who have interests in properties along adelaide tce/st georges tce. apparently they bought there to ensure that they would never sell the block and have their views blocked out. in order for a whole apartment complex like that to be redeveloped, every single owner would have to agree to sell so by buying just 1 in the complex they would be able to refuse every time.
dont know how true it is but i have heard it from a number of ppl in the industry over the years.

At least they provide some cheap inner-city housing. Better they stay there than some developer buy the land, demolish them, run out of finance and leave them as vacant lots for years.
And lets face it, the CBD is hardly facing a land shortage. There are plenty of other gaps to be filled in first.

there are actually a lot of unused upper floor spaces thruout perth. they arent right for offices (no aircon plus a few other issues) and i remember reading a while ago that it should be leased out cheaply to artists or others who need cheap working space that is basic etc. i think it would be a great idea. i remember reading earlier this year about a big space for lease maybe on murray st, and if im not wrong it was at about $150-200/sqm which is ridiculously cheap at the moment.

^^ I've often thought that between all the members here at SSC, we must have an incredible library of Perth photos, new and old. Some of them could have significant heritage/nostalgic value one day.
Maybe we should look into pooling and cataloguing them, perhaps as a Futureperth project? It would be a big task, but I'm sure we (and maybe others) would get a lot of enjoyment out of such a collection in years to come.

At what point did I suggest that you (or anyone else) had to be involved in "going through dozens of people's photos"?
What I was thinking was that anyone who was interested could pick out some of their own best to contribute to a sort of 'library.' Any future stand-out shots could be added as they are taken.
No doubt there's also thousands of repetitive/uninteresting/crappy snapshots in the mix that few people would ever care about. I'm not advocating a databank on the scale of Google- just a collection of interesting ones capturing Perth's look and feel (good, bad or otherwise) at different points in time.

As her preference is to adopt the hyphenation that her late husband used (between her first name and the first word of her last name), Qantas has honoured that wish and the aircraft shows her name in the form "Nancy-Bird Walton", despite her strictly correct name being with the hyphenated last name as used in this Wikipedia entry.

i hate big masses of water but i love being in water and tha beach.

hey guys
in prep for the UWA thing on Tues I was looking for some more photos for my ppt so i am asking if people could dig through their photo archives etc
Theres heaps of great pics on here which I will be using (please let me know if the use of your photos is not permitted) however i could really do with some more on
- traffic in perth, particuarly in the suburban context
- urban centres in perth such as mt lawley, leederville as well as crapholes like osborne park
- streetscrapes in an average suburban context ie local box shopping centres, bus stops etc etc
- whatever else you may think is relevant!
thanks in advance for everybodys help
