It looks like you were luckey to go when you did. From this it looks like a fair bit of stuff is going to be moving around. On the plus side the illumicube will be sound activated again.

How disgusting that the official ACT government guide uses American spelling.

Lucie,

exactly! I think this should be brought to the attention of Urban Services and Mr Stanhope with the demand that it be changed!

As for the sculpture, ‘a faith in the future of mankind’, well, my jury is out on that one. It looks like a giant gold ring on a stick.

Oh yeah, heard this morning that theillumicube is to be moved to somewhere on Limestone or Anslie Avenue to make way for an ACT Memorial to peacekeepers or something like that.

Now, I always thought we had a great big national institution for that but I may be wrong. Perhaps the ACT memorial will include coppers, APS, basket weavers, God knows…

I also guess the Illumicube will soon become the Graffiticube.

I must be in a snarky mood today, because I just sent them an email about it!

Thumper, if you read the link in the story you’ll find that the Illumicube’s fate is described in detail – it’s to be restored, upgraded and planted in the Mt-Ainslie-side forecourt of the Canberra Centre.

hehe…

Cool. I like it…

Thanks Caf, haven’t had a lot of time this morning.

yes – I cna’t really see the point of all this. Why pay to move all this stuff around. They ahve only just put up those Sports Hall of Fame plaques about a year ago havne’t they? and who will be walking past the cube at night on the other side of the Canberra Centre – noone will be there to see it light up.

Lord of the Rings publicity roadshow would have loved to discover this a few years back and the term illumicube sounds a bit….and the name John Robinson….a bit science fiction
