Despite questioning the sponsorship of the submissions process, I was very interested in the Chief Minister’s media release on the ideas received to date.
Every loony out there pushing their own barrow, but some real prize screwball stuff too.
These ideas included a proposal to nominate Canberra for World Heritage listing in 2013, a proposal for an International Corroboree, an International Garden Festival and an International Air Show.
There were plenty of ideas for lasting legacies too, ranging from a new convention centre and a performing arts centre to a monument to Walter Burley Griffin and a sculpture garden.”
ABC TV news was also reporting on a mad plan for a beach with imported sand (of which we have many already) and a wave pool attached to a six star hotel (as if Ritz-Carlton are going to want to put their brand on that).
But never fear if you missed out on the madness. The logo competition doesn’t end till the 21st.
