Clothesline signage for a suburb (part 1)

an experience of aussie icons

Hi all,
 
Near where I live some clever person (people?) has put up an art installation above where cars exit from the Eastern Distributor in Sydney.
 
It's a sort of witty ode to the famous Hills Hoist. The letters of the Sydney suburb, Woolloomooloo, hang from the clothes line like someone's washing. Pretty clever, really, and SUCH an Australian thing to do.
 

 
Thanks to
