On the way back from seeing the Eureka Tower last night, I took this picture at the Federation Square tram stop. Looking up at the arriving trams screen, I also noticed the time was stuck at 4:50 PM (time was actually 9:30PM). Its always strange to see an ATM, flight information, or train arrival display crash. These screens are akin to celebrities as in the end we are all the same underneath.

    I saw that at the Fed Square stop, too! And wished I had a camera. I’m glad someone did :)
