What the Fark are those BRICK HIVES

[CONRAD]

Hey Everybody,

Driving up Sir Donald Bradman Drv again the other day and I come across those Brick 'Hives' scattered about either side of the road just outside the city!!

Ok I've been meaning to find out what the F those things are for ages. Now see... most Cities / Public Information Enriched places would have placed a rather large sign to inform passing motorists about the many ODD structures they lay witness to! - not Adelaide.. I don't even know if they have a small sign which can be seen on foot - besides, seriously I'm never in a position/mood to pull over at the side of the road during peak hour and try and find some sort of plaque.

Can anyone explain WTF they are??

I think they are Aboriginal art. Tens of thousands of dollars worth of it...

Now the cops in Rundle Mall, they were worth every cent of $90,000.00.

bahahah I had to have a chuckle when i saw this thread, i thought the same thing.

Its not art, its a symbol for the gay community i am sure of it.

Think hundreds of thousands... that's what i was told anyway. Don't hold me to that though

i think this is the proposal/meeting minutes: Clicky (PDF)

I'm sure the money could have been better spent somewhere else?
