Marine & Harbours Building, Port Adelaide


16 February 2018

Built in 1979 and unused for the last 20 years. As brutalist architecture goes, this is a small, but perfectly formed example. My extensive internet research shows that it is going to be re-developed into a hotel.

This cactus has become the bane of my life over recent years. It's bloody massive I seem to brush against it every time I go in the garden, leaving me dealing with prickles for days afterwards.

I remember saying that I should have bought a few of these at the time. It cost 20 quid I think. They've been selling for nearly $400 on Discogs.
