| said by elios  :Hoover Dam was built UNDER BUDGET AND AHEAD OF TIME >.> but yea every thing else pretty much Australia only needs to suffer through a terrible global depression so that labor is abundant and practically free, and then somehow come up with what many consider to be one of the world's top engineering achievements. I can see it now, the Great Pyramid of Giza, the Eiffel Tower, and Australia's Fiber Network? Good luck. 
As for the odd-looking Sydney Opera House, in 1957 it was estimated to be completed in 1963 at a total cost of $7 million. In the end it was finished in 1973 for $102 million. Just a bit over budget while taking a little longer than expected to complete. |
