Nothings says university heritage like a sign and a chimney

“1990 was the start of a new decade that saw us say goodbye to neon leg warmers and crimped hair! It was also the year … UC staff members installed a new University of Canberra sign!” And lest anyone doubt this, Uni Canberra tweets a photo of three blokes putting it up (none wearing leg warmers and with hair crimp-less).

Western Sydney U is also keen to remind Facebook followers, that in 1995 what is now its Rydalmere campus was the site of a former psychiatric hospital. Less doubters doubt, there is a photo of a very tall brick chimney on site, then and now.

Heritage-wise universities short on sandstone carvings work with what they’ve got.
