Melbourne Grand Prix: South Australia ‘has itself to blame’ for losing race 20 years ago
Email By Loretta Florance and Mark Doman Updated October 24, 2016 17:49:14 Map: Melbourne 3000 South Australia had been the host of the Grand Prix since 1985. The race was the jewel in the state's tourism crown.It was the final race of the year on the Formula One calendar and had the reputation as the party event among the drivers and teams.Ask South Australians today, and they will tell you the F1 circus was embraced by Adelaideans as household names such as Ayrton Senna, Nigel Mansell and Niki Lauda rolled into town.So when the announcement was made in December 1993 that Adelaide's Grand Prix would be moving east to Melbourne, it sent shockwaves through the community.Former South Australian premier Dean Brown remembers the day well - the then Liberal leader had just won the state election."The day after I'd been sworn in I received a telephone call from Ron Walker and Ron said 'I must come and see you'," Mr Brown said."I said 'can't this wait' and he said 'no I think … [Read more...] about Melbourne Grand Prix: South Australia ‘has itself to blame’ for losing race 20 years ago

Curious Adelaide: What does the ‘OG’ stand for in OG Road?
Email By Eugene Boisvert Posted June 01, 2018 10:43:22 Photo: OG Road goes through the suburbs of Klemzig, Marden and Felixstow. (ABC News: Eugene Boisvert) Map: Klemzig 5087 What does the "OG" in OG Road stand for?Four separate readers asked ABC Adelaide this question when we asked what they wanted to know about the city as part of the Curious Adelaide series."It seems very strange to have a road that is just two letters," one said."I have a friend who lives off of OG Road and I asked them what it stood for and they said they had heard that it was named after two families that were influential and had lots of land."So what does it stand for?OG Road is named after Osmond Gilles, the first colonial treasurer of South Australian and a major landholder in what is now Adelaide's north-eastern suburbs.Gilles was born in 1788 and arrived on the HMS Buffalo with the first settlers in 1836.
