Correction
The Tests that reached Sydney were in fact on an island off the coast of Western Australia on the other side of Australia and the radiation was only discovered by a person in Sydney testing a Gieger counter that was detecting radioactive rain.
The S.A tests drifted across farmlands towards Victoria and only polluted the grass that cows eat to produce the radioactive milk that was being given to school children as part of a program to promote healthier children through drinking milk.
Getting back to the topic. It seems crazy to me to have all the single occupant cars travelling to the same point at the same time and it would make more sense to build another city closer to the new suburbs that have no public transport. It seems to work this way in Simcity.

Its a good thought and to some extent it happens already just due to economic forces but it would really need some government incentives and leadership (how many government departments still sit in CBDs??). I used to work for a large unnamed oil company that has lots of red and yellow service stations. In the early nineties they realised that no-one actually cared that they had state HQs in CBDs and moved out to their oil terminal locations. I work with another evil multi national now based 20k outside the CBD, its a real pleasure not to have to join the morning gridlock towards the city. Its funny you still see recruiting adverts with "CBD location" as if its a +ve.
This is crazy. I agree that change has to happen and is happening. But this mad max crap is a joke.Some people on this forum need to stop soaking up all the crap they get feed and look at all possible outcomes not just the worst. Do you really believe that there will not be a alternate energy source found in time that is viable. Its no secret the world is focused on money and that it drives the human race. There is no money in a world wide collapse of society so why would anyone let it happen.Get real.Yes oil will get dearer and eventually it will become so dear that alternat fuels must be used.Try watching some positive documentories about what is being discovered everyday. Some of the talk on here is sounds just like a cult leader convincing his followers of impending doom.Go for a walk on the beach,have a swim and chear up.Life is not about to come to a screaching holt.

Because you should take some updates: to produce alternative energies yuo still NEED electricity which currently comes mainly from OIL.
Just watch the video…….it`s less than a hour and will teach you something.

Actually i am a engineer. I am also a realist.I completely understand that whatever takes us off our dependents on fossil fuel will in part require fossil fuel for its development. This is not a new understanding and can be said for many periods through our development as a species. The point im trying to make is. Yes there are some turbulant times ahead,yes nothing is certain,Yes changes have to be made.But i question the motives of people like you and your band of doom and gloomers. You clearly have a hidden agenda. This is clear to all that read your posts. Dont tell us you are trying to warn us. I dont buy it for a second.
We are far from finished on this earth as your merry group of depressed trolls seem to believe.I believe things will roll on but not because of our will to change. I believe change will come through people making money with green energy. This is already starting to happen.Sad but true.But who cares about the motives as long as it happens.And if i get told to check out one more link i think im going to drown myself in a bucket of oil.Wow its on the net it must be true.
But i do admit you do help people on here to a degree. You make them aware of things that may affect there investing in the future.Its up to the individual person to take all the information at hand and work from there.

You know, I don`t have an agenda. And since I don`t even have TIME to waste warning blind people who think that just because property prices ros ein the past 10 or 20 years, then they will in the next 20 years.
GO ahead, think and convince as more people yuo can to buy properties at 1 or 2 Millions each. I really don`t care anymore.
I joined this forum few weeks ago while I was looking for info on the Victoria market since here in SA I think prices have gone already too far.
I don`t have millions, I may not even be able to buy 1 little house if price keep being so inflated and certainly I`m not going to buy at inflated prices. I`ll rather rent and watch landlords go broke over their greed. Then eventually the Government will realise this system can`t work anymore and as a society will start building house to live, not to become rick quick at the expenses of the next generations while we build endless suburbs without infrastructures.
You go ahead thinking it`s dreamland and everybody that buy will sell for double or triple.
I end my posting in this forum right now, I hate wasting time.
Good luck.

Do you think it`s not going to happen?I'm sure it will, I remember when petrol was under $0.30 /Ltr but I also remember the average house price 10km from CBD was under $30,000 at that time.
Sure you can wait for the house you wanted to drop further but if has already dropped 40k chances are some investor will snap it up and then RENT it back to you. If the vendor is desperate there is a good chance you could pick it up for 300k or so if you present a cash offer. It can be scary to make such a big decision but as they say in the stock market, nobody will ring the bell at the bottom. By the time the "experts" analyze the data collected its 3 months old and the market has already changed direction.
Good luck with your house hunting.
