Explosion Rocks Port Adelaide (12/08/19)
A vacant apartment block in Port Adelaide exploded on Sunday night, disrupting traffic and starting fires. The apartment building, located across the road from the Legal Services Commission in Port Adelaide, was best known for its large depictions of graffiti art. An explosion rocked the premises at about 1am Sunday morning and brought the building down, sending chunks of rock through the air and damaging nearby cars and other buildings.The explosion demolished the building, leaving only parts of its steel frame standing, and appears to have opened up a sinkhole that has swallowed most of the debris. Emergency services were still fighting fires Sunday night and urge onlookers to keep their distance. Rory Parsons of the Metro Fire Service said that "Something in there keep reigniting. None of us are confident to call it safe or let the investigators in yet." Local residents suspect that the abandoned building was being used by criminal gangs to house chemicals for drug-making or even actual drug labs.

Umbra Transport - any publicity is good publicity, right? (19/07/19)

Unknown sources around the city coordinated to use popular gps tracking software, usually used by runners or other amateur athletes to record their runs for posterity and show people what route they take, in order to call out Mr Frank Wilson, Umbra Transport's CEO. It would appear that in the early hours of the morning, a group of individuals each got into Umbra taxis across the greater metropolitan area and then directed their drivers on a route that allowed them to spell out individual letters and pictures. The resulting message calls out Umbra's CEO as seen below. Attached image: the words FRANK IS A surrounded by a cloud of dicks, traced out along various roads across the Adelaide metro area. Mr Wilson was unavailable for comment today, which leaves us asking, what has he been up to lately to upset this many people to this degree?

While this item did not belong to the Chinese Imperial Family, the quality of the woodwork and level of care that was obviously put into its construction are proof enough that this item deserves to be carefully restored and put on display for connoisseurs of Chinese craftsmanship to enjoy."

Kangaroo Island Mayor and South Australian Government green-light proposal for 14km bridge from mainland (24/07/2018)
A bold plan to build a multi-million-dollar bridge to Kangaroo Island from the mainland of South Australia has been greenlit by the island's Mayor, who described the proposal as an "exciting new venture that's sure to bring a positive boom to the local tourism industry".

South Australian Minister for Tourism Mr Bob Davies said that by considering the proposal, the State Government would be "opening up" the island to a boost in tourism.

"What this bridge would do would make Kangaroo Island Australia's number one tourist destination. What this does is just opens up a whole new world of opportunities for South Australia and the island."

The bridge would have a length of about 14 kilometres and would be built across Backstairs Passage, with an estimated cost of $4.5bn. Once construction is complete, the bridge would be one of the longest overwater vehicle bridges in Australia.

The first stage of construction is expected to take place in October later this year.

Investigations are still ongoing as to the source of the outbreak but sources state that they believe all the attention this received possibly caused restaurants to review safe food handling practises and perform them to the best of their ability.

CCTV Rollout Continues (10/07/2018)
In response to the recent terror scare and growing paranoia, the State Government and Adelaide City Council have announced plans for a joint intiative for an expansion of the CCTV network. The proposed plan would see the main areas of Gawler and Seaford covered by these cameras in an attempt to help reduce the crime rate and take pressure off of the already understaffed police presence in those areas.

The CCTV initiative has enjoyed resounding success since it's conception, with the areas of Elizabeth and Noarlunga having already experienced an immediate decrease in the rate of violent crimes since their networks were installed earlier this year. It's understood that public opinion is in favour of this move, with many citing the extra security measures as giving them the peace of mind they need to continue on with their day.

Construction work will begin from next week and will be conducted all throughout the July-September period, with high-traffic areas being prioritised first.

Doomsday Cult Preaches: End Times are Upon Us (07/07/2018)

While most residents attribute the harsh conditions to global cooling and an increase in dependence on wind energy, some more conservative members of the public are comparing the weather to the Biblical forty days and forty nights of intense downpour referenced in the Book of Genesis and have claimed that: "it's a sure-fire sign that the time of Judgement will soon come".

Hotel staff at the Hilton Hotel had a daunting experience this morning as a routine room clean turned into the room clean of nightmares. When the room attendant entered he was met with the horrific scene that he called a scene right out of a horror movie.

Police also seized a semi auto assult rifle and 250 rounds for the weapon along with 2 side arms, both with suppressors.

SAPOL said earlier in a statement that Major crimes is putting together a Task Force to catch what they are calling The Surgeon Slasher.

Investigators: Faulty gas heaters to blame for InterContinental explosion (30/05/2018)
EVIDENCE retrieved from the scene of the blast has led investigators to determine that Saturday's disastrous explosion was caused by a gas leak from a faulty supply of propane-powered gas heaters that were not installed correctly nor up to current safety regulations.

Although the manufacturer has not yet been named, speculation is pointed towards the Chinese or Korean manufacturing industry. The reputation of the prestigious and world-renowned 'InterContinental' chain of 5-star hotels has so far been flawless, but there's no denying that this tragic incident will be a stain on their records for many decades to come.

A free counselling service for family members and loved ones of the deceased is being offered by the hotel chain with a memorial in the works for the near future.

An internet website has also been set up with a list of names and photographs of the deceased and is available at RememberingTheLost.info

IT was a scene out of an action movie. Officers in full body armor carrying assault weapons and riot shields, police dogs and even a tactical response vehicle were deployed late this afternoon in the otherwise uninteresting regional town of Whyalla.

Nine members were killed by police with five others taken into custody. A number of motorcycles, weapons and cash exceeding $25000 were seized from the scene. Police later seized a large cache of homemade weapons, improvised firebombs, 9.5kg of methamphetamines, twenty kilograms of marijuana and cash totalling half a million dollars from the other address – believed to be a backup safe house/stash location for the gang.

Rural police were seen celebrating and even cheering on the STAR officers as they returned with the captured members in custody. The captured gang members are facing steep punishments and almost certainly a lifetime in prison.

Locally made energy drink predicted to dominate in 2018 (08/01/2018)
Although targeted by thieves early last month, local South Australian microbrewery Blue Phoenix Pty Ltd has announced a bold new plan for 2018. Citing the popularity of their flagship energy drink Mint Eye, Blue Phoenix co-founder Krystian Młynarski announced this morning that their next target for distribution would be the pubs, clubs and cafes of Adelaide.

"We're extremely proud of the reception we've received from the student population, in that this drink is like none other they've had before. I've had people come up to me on the street and thank me for giving them the boost they needed to get through their exams. It's awesome stuff and I couldn't be any more glad that in this day and age, a true-blue South Aussie business like ours can stand up to those global companies and show them that customers are proud of their local businesses and are willing to support them. The next step is to reach out to other local businesses and also get them onboard and working with us. I can tell you that we've got plans to expand later this year and we hope to be able to give back to the community by employing as many South Aussies as we can. We're committed to that goal." Competitors are sceptical of the decision, with many believing that the fad of Mint Eye will die down as operating costs and expenses rise.

Mint Eye is expected to launch in limited quantities at local IGA supermarkets and independent retailers from the 22nd of this month.

Ashbury disappearances: 50th anniversary nears (07/10/2017)
THE 21st of October has traditionally been a sombre day of remembrance for Charles and Emily Ashbury.

Fifty years ago, their four children disappeared without a trace from popular Semaphore Beach without a trace.

Fifty years have past and these poor parents still have no information about what happened to their children. No parent would ever want this. We're asking for anyone with any possible information to come forth and contact us."
