Maximum Sexy Pigeon posted:Nullabore is still an experience if you look at it more than a long, flat, featureless expanse. You're also as far away from a majority of complete fuckwits as you can be in a non-specialised vehicle in this country. That brings much peace. Yeah I hear you, long solo drives can be challenging.

I don’t know if they’ve updated it in the twelve or so years since I was last there, but every time I flew domestic out of Perth as a small woman in my 20s, I’d smash two things of onion rings from the hungry jack’s there with the express intention of farting in close proximity to whatever drunk miner oval office was sat next to me.

Outrail posted:Some people think the best part of WA is the bit without any people. Except that's also poo poo for fairly obvious reasons. The two roads out of WA might be the best, but they go to NT and SA, so they're arguably the worst. Thats fair

This made me think about how, ages ago, at Tullamarine in the domestic section there was a Hungry Jacks, but in the International section of the airport it was called Burger King. Lest any foreign visitors get confused.

Facebook boomer nostalgia groups are a goldmine for having flashbacks to the time where everything looked like poo poo, instead of everything looking like new poo poo trying to pretend it isn't poo poo. Some Brisbane suburb, time unknown, Earliest this photo could be is 1978  Spring Hill, Brisbane. Mid 80's  Every loving outer suburb looked like this no matter which city  Spring Hill, Brisbane. Earliest this photo could be is 1977  Also, you could get a brand new HK Holden for today's equivalent $14,500

Some more for now Last passenger train leaving Narellan, southwest Sydney, Jan 1, 1963  Sydney looked like complete poo poo in the 80's  Mongomery Hotel, Pyrmont, mid 50's. Now known as the Pyrmont Bridge Hotel, the Pyrmont power station behind it was torn down in the late 80's early 90's and is now the site of The Star casino.  A long-abandoned EK Holden, presumably central South Australia.  Tram Depot fire, Paddington, Brisbane, 1963  Gloucester Street Station, Highgate Hill, Brisbane. The station was closed in 1978  Maximum Sexy Pigeon fucked around with this message at 01:50 on Jan 12, 2023 |

Taylor Square, Darlinghurst, Sydney. Late 50s' Warren Ball Ave houses, Newtown, Sydney. 1890's  A cyclone damaged old "Queenlander" house. Far-north Qld.  Martin Place, Sydney, 1959.  Pyrmont Power Station, early 90's. The derelict fruit shop in the foreground was a prominent filming location in the 1992 Baz Luhrmann movie Strictly Ballroom  Cop car being flipped by belligerents, Newcastle, 1979. The Star Hotel Riot. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Hotel_riot  Established activist Squat, cnr Scott and Cross Streets, Prymont. Late 80's. Pyrmont was a vastly different place in the 70's and 80's than it is now. Previously dockworkers and slums, incredibly dangerous to wander at night, a remarkably neglected part of the city before gentrification. People lived in quats or abandoned buildings, some rental houses didn't even have floors, just dirt. The west side of the suburb has long-standing state housing accommodation, which is long fighting to remain despite the greed that now defines Pyrmont. A 2 bedroom terrace is easily $800pw rent these days.

Really gave the city a unique look, then the OHAS squares had to get in the way.  Must say while mostly back in the day did look a bit poo poo, their were quite a few really nice looking old buildings and such around. Not all of it was just rose tinted glasses.

Darling Harbour Railway Station (early 50s) Opened in 1875 to manage goods incoming and outgoing from boats. Closed in 1984.  Darling Harbour goods yard, previously the main seaport in Sydney until decommissioning in 1984. Port Botany opened in 1979 and took on the responsibility from there. The area was derelict for a few years before it was rebuilt into a public space, Sydney Convention and Exhibition Centre opened on the site in 1988.   Wollongong Train Station. 1940s  Petersham/Stanmore from Crystal St bridge, early 80's.  Wooden trestle road bridge over flood plain, Gundagai NSW (Date unknown, 60s or 70s) The bridge remained derelict for decades, it was finally demolished in Nov 2021.  Darling harbour Goods Line Ultimo NSW, early 90s, from Ultimo Rd bridge switch hut. These days, on the right is ABC's main building, large hotels on the left. Railway Square is behind the buildings in the background. The area is a paved pedestrian space.

Yeah 100%, there's some great looking buildings in there alongside a cavalcade of poo poo. I'm a big sucker for Federation-style housing, when they're well maintained they're just beautiful, although a bit of a pain to live in (small rooms, impractical layouts and so on). Pyrmont is kind of a weird place, I lived there for about 10 years in the late 2000s and early 2010s. All of those modern bland apartment blocks jostling for position, alongside boring beige 90s apartment buildings, then little pockets of poorly-maintained terraces and the big area of houso as well. And despite the location, it always felt like a quiet little village, particularly down around the point area.
