It's funny about the grass though, all the parks and gardens (remembering the Adelaide CBD is surrounded by parkland) on the north and eastern sides were well watered and manicured, while the western and southern parklands were in a more natural state. As a whole Adelaide is very dry looking. In comparison Melbourne looked very green when I got home.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure about the water situation, but a lagre reservoir next to the bus way looked full.<BR/><BR/>Reuben, I plan to do a separate post on the trains soon.Benhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03896364165245209764noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767022.post-83048318497619716432008-11-12T11:42:00.000+11:002008-11-12T11:42:00.000+11:00Excellent post, Ben.

Was this because of heavy window tinting which I believe was installed to try and help with the inadequate air con? How come Adelaide with so little water has lovely green parks and a fountain in the river while our parks are brown and many fountains are off?Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
