- The big countdown on the Rundle Lantern welcoming the new year
- Fireworks shotting from nearby city buildings (incl Centerpoint, HJs carpark, Crowne Plaza and the building on the sw corner of the intersection)
- Non stop partying till 2am with dance music

Theres my lil dream, not sure if its even possible or any of you even like my proposal. But one can dream :P

Also the Rundle Lantern could be used for the countdown to Fringe opening, which would be fantastic. So many opportunities :D

Pity I'm too old and have too many children to do any of the above!!

Thanks for that. If they can get two columns up each weekend, it'll all be up by mid September. Hopefully the weather cooperates!

I wish it went a little but more down Rundle St, but so far it's looking pretty fucking awesome.

So it appears this will be 22 pixels by ~48 pixels. Here's my poor attempt at some potential images :-)

I went past today and doesn't appear to have been anything done. I think they are sticking to Sunday work for this one.

Pleasingly, it looks even bigger when one stands next to it.
