Shiny, shiny things in the Canberra Centre

I actually hadn’t noticed they were missing, but every other time I walked- well escalated – by them I was distracted away the shiny towards the fact that they were covered in an inch of dust.

It’s a bird-scarer. They must have birds eating their crop or something.

They are actually highly visible from 10 storeys up in the neighbouring buildings, to the point where blinds have to be closed.

I loved that it was removed as I’d previously been blinded by them hitting me as well. Interesting concept but poor execution. I feel sorry for all the staff working in the direct area as well, that’d shit me to tears.

It is horrendous. I encourage all those who are irritated by this monstrous torture device to fill in a customer complaint form at the Canberra Centre information desk or send an email to customerservice@canberracentre.com.au

You just might get some coffee vouchers out of the deal.

That’s fantastic! I’ve never seen them lit up quite like that before. I also really love all those coloured circles hanging outside of the Canberra Centre.

I’ve seen them lit up like that before… many times… many many terrible times. The outside coloured circles though are pretty cool.

Ah they finally put it back. It was there from openning until a few months ago, must have taken it away for cleaning.

That’s correct. Now that they aren’t caked in dust they are back to their full blinding power.

I like, and am distracted by, shiney things as much as the next person, but i’d actually hoped these slightly tacky danglers were gone for good

Thanks for the explaination JB – I thought I was having a flashback and just ignored it.

Okay – maybe laserdisks then 😛
