48. Part of the neon ceiling
wonderland of 'Times Square'
The neon ceiling of Times Square was
one of the largest neon installations in the world. On
the theme of 'Time', the rapidly pulsing and changing
coloured neon-light patterns were an Expo evening
sight to see - and were located in the centre of the
Expo site, near the popular European Boulevard, and
the Pavilions of the USA, Spain, Fujitsu, amongst
others. The intricate neon matrix was 7.5km long, and
was designed by Ken Cato, also author of the World
Expo '88 sunsails logo. The heritage listed building
in the foreground was built in 1885 and housed the
Expo's official bank, Westpac Banking Corporation,
Australia's oldest bank (formerly known as the Bank of
New South Wales), where Banking and Bureau de Change
facilities were provided for staff and visitors alike.
