Oxford St painted rainbow overnight

Oxford st crossings have been painted rainbow colours overnight. Is gonna be there for a trial period and they may decide to keep it. I think it looks marvellous, the tourists everywhere will love it. Just in time for the Mardi Gras this weekend too. 

Here's a picture from online. I'll take my camera in later when I meet David this afternoon and see if I can get a better one :)

Oxford Street has been given a bold makeover, with a rainbow stretching across the iconic strip to honour 35 years of Mardi Gras.

The colourful crossing at Taylor Square is in place in time for this year’s festival parade on 2 March, which will be the biggest ever with 10,000 participants and 108 floats.

It was painted overnight, with work completed and Oxford Street reopened at 5am to provide a brilliant ‘good morning’ for visitors, locals and workers along the iconic street. 

Lord Mayor Clover Moore said the rainbow would help make Oxford Street the No.1 destination for the tens out thousands of people visiting Sydney for Mardi Gras. 

“The City is determined to support local businesses along Oxford Street. This time of year is a vital opportunity for the cafes, shops, galleries and other small businesses and we want to make sure all eyes are on this iconic strip,” the Lord Mayor said more
