- ‘It is a pity that the open space of Manners Mall is not preserved and developed in such a way or with such care. In contrast there has been no replacement of broken or sunken bricks in the mall. Instead there are faded pockets of fill in asphalt. This obviously indicates that there has been an un-consulted intention for the mall’s demise for quite some period. ’

- ‘That's the one... wouldn't work in Wellington for obvious reasons, altho I suppose you could stand there in a rain coat while it dumps all over you.One of the things I enjoyed about Wellington's bucket street art was wondering, each time a smaller bucket tipped, whether it would cause the one below it to tip. There was a sense of expectation and excitement for a small boy. Similarly, the people playing in Townsville would have an idea when the large bucket was going to tip and would gather below, ready, a few seconds before hand. It's a nice parrallel.’
- ‘David: that'll be these pictures, I take it? They do look fun. I suppose the nearest thing we have to that is the Albatross sculpture by the lagoon, though the Water Whirler could have the same effect once it opens tomorrow night.’
- ‘I was pretty sure it would have a page, but I searched and couldn't find anything. I didn't think Wikipedia would do something like removing a page for being too trivial: is it even possible to be too trivial for Wikipedia?!?’
