This in from Peter:
This afternoon (Sat 25 May) some cows had got out in Oaks Estate. I did ring the rangers, but its like that quote from “News Radio”:
Bill: You’re not in Wisconsin, Dave. The big story isn’t about a cow wandering into the town square.
Dave: Bill, I worked in Milwaukee, you know. It’s [...]
GCNelson has put this gorgeous up onto Vimeo with this note:
That’s the trouble with time lapses. You need time.
This is 8 months of my spare time gone. But it was a worthwhile experience.
What began as a request from science program ‘Catalyst’ morphed into a series of experiments with techniques, software and cameras in an effort [...]
Andrew Barr is breaking out the champagne over this year’s Enlighten numbers:
More than 115,000 people attended the free and ticketed events during ENLIGHTEN 2013, an increase of 290% on last year’s figure of 29,437, according to an independent evaluation report issued today.
Enlighten, which was staged from March 1-9, with a focus on the weekends of [...]
Pulp Kitchen is fast becoming my go to breakfast spot.
They’ve also added this very beautiful mural to Ainslie shops.

Rioter SheepGroper (really?), sent us in this image:
Telstra building contractors diligently propping up the tax building.
Must be developing a lean due to all that paperwork.

Devil_n_Disquiz sent us this in:
This clown had already passed us on Brindabella Road between Uriarra Village and Cotter Road. He passed over double lines then too. Not only that but on the crest of a hill. If a motorcycle had been coming the other way it would have been all over red rover. I specifically [...]
Rioter Kim sent us in the above shot of GG’s driveway forest.
That beautiful forest that lines the GG’s Driveway is being destroyed. I’m flabbergasted!
Shame shame! It’s fun to shout!
Let’s shame some drivers shall we?

Now that we’re excising Australia from the Australian Migration Zone (because we’re snivelling racists) detention centres could be anywhere.
A reader who wishes to remain anonymous wonders if that’s what’s going on down Petrie Plaza in Civic.

How could we not direct your attention, dear reader, to an article titled “The Ten Most Wonderful Things Committed To Hansard as a Result of the Skywhale”.
It’s worth mentioning such tech luminaries as Jzw and Cory Doctorow have now blogged about skywhale.
The full list of Google News results is staggering.
All hail Skywhale.

Ben_Dover has discovered the marvels of the animated .gif and given us a feast of beta-motion induced illusionary movement.
Enjoy.
Regular Rioter Poetix has pointed out to us some rather unfortunate pole placing in Turner.
No, this is not a message for any guilty Skywhale haters. Sorry if you’ve had this before, but this is a photograph on Barry Drive, taken while waiting in the right-hand turn lane that leads into into McCaughey Street, Turner. [...]
Ben_Dover has found an entrance to a magical realm, and possibly the location for RiotACT’s next mobile office adventure.
With the 2011 Yellow Pages propping my third monitor up acceptably I had wondered what purpose the 2013 edition could serve.
Fortunately at a Dickson apartment complex I saw the package made a very handy door stop.
It does make one weep for the businesses who have paid vast rivers of gold to be included.
We’d certainly like [...]
THE DOCTOR IS HERE!
James managed to spot the TARDIS in Hall on Saturday, I hope everyone is ok.
Death and destruction usually follow in the Doctor’s wake.
If you spot the Doctor or any other evidence of aliens, please email us pictures to images@the-riotact.com.
Good morning everyone.
Why it’s Monday, you know what that means!
Here is our usual collection of stinkers to amuse those of you who aren’t still giggling over SkyWhale memes.

Rioter Miriam has noticed something amiss in our fair city, specifically this piece of unfinished work on the corner of Cooyong & Lonsdale St in Braddon.
Doing my Civic duty and publicising this dangerously thin bit of footpath. Bikes and pedestrians use this a fair bit and there has been no work done on this hole [...]
Rioter Gungahlin Al is like a MacGuyver of photography, and has scored us this interesting shot of the eclipse this morning!
I took this photo holding my phone to the telescope eyepiece this morning. No edits.
Awesome.
More autumn shots!
Here’s a glorious one from Don:
Here’s an image taken Wednesday May 8…highlighting autumn in Canberra – red leaves and blue skies.
I think you can see where it was taken from….
Johnboy himself took these over the weekend:
UPDATE Adam sent us this picture!
Got any photos of Canberra, autumn related or not, that [...]
Hey guys, you’re all super clever at answering these sorts of questions, that’s why Roundhead89 wants to ask you guys something:
I was in my backyard and a flock of birds descended. I took this pic and I was wondering if Rioters could positively identify it. I’ve always called them King Parrots. There [...]
One has to admire the ingenuity of smokers to find new and exciting ways to dispose of their filthy by-products.
One has to wonder who was the first to stub one out here and then I guess the others just followed the lead.
It’s on Ainslie Avenue just across the road from the Legislative Assembly.
Got an image [...]
Rioter Stephen sent us this brilliant bit about “a leading entertainment retailer.”
One of the Canberra stores of a leading entertainment retailer has re-organised there Blu-Ray discs to include a “Kids” category.
Unfortunately with not enough titles to fill the section, the Japanese anime is on the top shelf under “Kids”. This includes Hellsing R18+ [...]
