Phinal fotos of Phloriade

The Phloriade site still looks very like the detention camp site on Christmas Island.  On asking when the fences will go down I was told "Not for a while there is going to be a concert and they are keeping the fences up for that,  Probably after November 13th!"

Hmmm  .... the only "concert" I can see in Commonwealth Park is the Spilt Milk rubbish on 23 November.  Presumably they will need the fencing for pill testing?  However that adds another 2 weeks to the period in which Canberrans will not be able to use a large proportion of this Park.

As far as I can see, the only reason for not running Andrew Barr out of town on a rail is that the Leader of the Opposition is worse.

Here is what the Floriade site looks like now.  At least someone is doing some work!
 It is interesting that the huge Ferris Wheel packs down on to 3 very large trailers.  I wonder how much fuel gets used up lugging that around the country?  And what QC is employed to check all the bolts are tightened properly when it is rebuilt?

Some of the beds look better than they did for the first week or so the Festival!
In other cases it looks as though a bobcat is ripping into the beds even though the plants are still flowering  Hell hath no fury like a CFMEU member with a big tool!
 Coming back across Parkes Way we noted this mass gathering of pongoes outside the Civic Pool.  Its interesting that some have blue hats and others, maroon.  Perhaps it's a State of Origin trench digging comp in the flower beds of Floriade?
