Toxic Custard Workshop Files - The Grooviest Thing In Melbourne

Round 8: RMIT facade versus River statue thingies
What: (The unofficial title)	RMIT facade	River statue thingies
Where:	Swanston Street, north of LaTrobe Street	North bank of the Yarra, near Queensbridge
Details:	Okay, so it's just a building. But in this day of faceless and forgettable grey marble and mirror office blocks, the front of RMIT makes a pleasant change. So maybe the architect was experimenting with various substances of doubtful legality, but it gives a bit of character to the place.	I don't know what they symbolise, why they're there, or even what they're meant to look like. But they look very groovy, standing there all in a row, and they probably helped keep a struggling artist off the streets for a month.
Result:	A close race, but in the end the river statue thingies held out.
