Floriade Fun with Google Earth

In a desperate effort to kill time when I [c|sh]ould have been coding, I was looking for interesting places to go with some help from Google Earth.

I noticed that Commonwealth Park was in Floriade mode, which made me think that surely someone out there would be able to recognise the bed design.

So, which year was this Floriade???

Floriade - Which Year?

[edit] Here’s the Google Maps version.

good call davo.

Cool – mystery solved and crisis over. And so begins another day…

This is 2003. The theme was “The heavens in bloom”.

I’m not so conversant in the yearly designs, but there’s a butterfly (or possibly dragonfly) on the right near the baby lake. And some fish at the other end of the garden bed trail (on the left side). And that might be the beginnings of a rainbow a bit higher than the fish.
