Today we will be touring through the Western suburb of Glenella... Glenella is a predominately Residential area, with a small Distribution cluster along Fursden's Creek. The suburb is still experiencing huge growth, with estates rapidly. The suburb was subject to widespread flooding in the February Floods of 2008, as the suburb is built along the floodplain of the Pioneer River.

That aside, here's some pictures...

Kicking things off where I left y'all with the teaser... the beginning of an estate.


the Northern wing of said estate.


A view of the expanding section of the estate.


Under construction...

Back to the Roundabout!

We're heading East, up to the "top" of the suburb.


A shot of the housing, with some houses in construction...


Another shot, with a bus stop in the bottom right of the picture.


the Main road winding through the suburb... I'm not too happy with this picture, the houses didn't grow exactly right, and the road's textures are a bit off. 

I know there's a bit of repitition in these shots... it was unavoidable 

Now, for reference I have a Region Shot showing where I've been showing the last few updates...





On a personal note, I won't be doing another proper update until the 26^th of January... As I have to make a trip to Brisbane and Hervey Bay due to family reasons. I'll post some RL photos of these places, just to show y'all the Real Life Australia, to see how good my work really is  ... I must say, I'm not too impressed with the timing of this, I wouldn't go if I didn't have to... I'll still be around, as I'll have my laptop... but it doesn't have SC4 on it.

Havva good one,
Adrian.

Nice stuff there Adrian! Nice abundance of matt325's houses. Can't wait for the 26^th!  , Just wondering, where did you get all the construction lots?

Haha, I was just in mackay a week ago and I come here to see a MD about it! Very nice work

[sumwonyuno]

Great pictures!  I really like the homes under construction.

[Bobbi]

Great update!

[djvandrake]

I don't know why those houses set at an angle strike me as odd.  But, your cities look very nice with them. 

[Nanami]

He, looks nice!

[ecoba]

Glenella certainly is a nice suburb, Adrian. I think that it couold very well represent the style of Australian growth and the estate patterns are very interesting.

I certainly find that the mixture of residential BATs makes for a very interesting neighbourhood, especially how there is little repition close to one another, this makes it feel like it is a modern suburb with a list of house plans that are spread out throughout the neighbourhood.

Waiting for the 26th frantically, and eagarly...

Your new update is really nice! Great work on it!
Looking forward to the next...

[Battlecat]

Brilliant update!  I really like the construction lots you're working with there!  It's a very nice touch indeed. 

Have a great trip, looking forward to seeing what you've got next when you get back!

Nice looking suburbs, and the construction sites are a great touch.

G'Day Adrian,

Congratulations for the OSItM award, as a realistic recreation, Mackay is coming along beautifully,

Some nice updates here, you've been a busy fella of late.

That's a great recreation of the airport and echoing what all the others have commented on like the lone trees, just how many paddocks have you been past, over, through that have been razed bar that one tree. Oodles.

Oblique set houses although not being on every house block is not something that uncommon to see and really breaks up the SC4 view. And I like those house construction lots too.

Have a good holiday, catch ya when ya get back.

*oktoberfest, I'd stick with the far less demanding English before trying the highly technical Australian

take it easy
