Ask RiotACT
Hi Rioters.

Does anyone know what the story is with the skywriting that has appeared over Canberra the last few days?

I was in Braddon yesterday afternoon and it looked like the writing said something like ‘XC 40’?

Nothing in our pristine Tuggeranong skies (except the invisible pollution from the MLRMC). Appears the new Volvo is only for transit hipsters.

An ad for a Volvo SUV. Exciting, eh? zzzzzzzzzz.

Natalie Harper 9:36 pm 31 Mar 18

Yes. A quick Google of the skywriting (XC40) will give you all the answers.

Kris Willimott 9:22 pm 31 Mar 18

Its for the new volvo xc40 that got released.
