So having moved away and then returning sort of some 20 years later, Adelaide has changed quite a bit since that first time you landed in 2001.
When you did move back in 2026, which I know is only a few months ago, what was the kind of big observations that you saw from a city point of view and like you were talking urban design? Yeah.
So when I came back, I was hoping it was still a little bit like it was before.
I was hoping it was still... 10, 20 minutes to get to places and that not too many tall buildings were built.
I had an attachment to that sort of slow... pace and but when i came it was it's not crazy it's not like any other cities but it's it's certainly yeah it's been populated and
particularly in pockets like north terrace like samory and the royal adelaide hospital that kind of precinct there it has has changed yeah
and Traffic, for example, and the transport, it's a topic always, but it hasn't improved.
