Indeed, it is an estate by the Fairmont Group called Parkwood, some 5 minutes
to the Golden Grove village. There are 102 allotments including house and land
packages for sale. See
http://www.realtysa.com.au/land-for-...d-golden-grove
A quick estimate is that the estate covers only an area of approximately 0.039 square km.
By comparison, only 3.8km away is an area of Adelaide that would be approximately
20.7 square km that has fibre construction underway. (See attached image)
When one considers the enormity of the project, much of which involves
Australian workers physically getting their hands dirty and deploying cables
through trenches in nearly every suburban street and then installing network
terminations in homes and businesses, it boggles the mind as to what a tremendous
physical undertaking it is alone.
I think if anyone is Adelaide today were to go outside and dig for 5 minutes in their
garden in today's heatwave, they would know what I mean.
