I'm trying to work out where the other fountain on Parkes Way is. The only one I know of is the double spray thingy at the end of Anzac Parade; which as Trix remarked is currently empty.
Of course, there is that appalling concrete-surrounded pond thing near the CIT but that doesn't have a fountain - it's just an extension of the lake from Nerang Pool. (And aren't you actually kinda glad they put the concrete around it - no more boy-racers leaving their cars in it!!) And that big fountain on the other side of the road that goes off every two hours.......
I noticed recently that they have emptied at least half of the fountains up in front of OPH although the two on the ends still seem to be going (the ones put in for Centenary of Federation?) at least the big open ones were empty anway.
I also can't work out why they're spraying the median strips - particularly when our school oval is dead and has been for 3 years and there are a lot of others in the same boat. I doubt if the kids will ever be able to play on it again, it's certainly not comfortable if you fall over.
