Whenever the Commonwealth Games are mentioned all I can think of is this hilariously horrible piece of public art that was installed for the Gold Coast games in 2018. Spells out "Gold Coast" but is just a blur of lights as you drive past at 110. Cost over $2M to build and is currently still in place as the local council argues over the price to move. I always have a hearty chuckle when driving by.
