A countdown clock to the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games has been unveiled in the center of the Queen Street Mall.
The installation was unveiled Thursday morning (six years, 31 days, nine hours, 36 minutes and 10 seconds until the Olympics) at the central intersection next to Jimmy’s On the Mall.
In attendance were Mayor Adrian Schrinner, Olympic Organizing Committee President Andrew Liveris, Deputy Prime Minister Jarrod Bleijie and Olympic swimmer Emma McKeon.
Ibises were also present, several rustling through the trash in front of Hungry Jack’s, and some descending onto the platform holding the clock just as the performance began.
“This is the meeting point of Brisbane,” Schrinner told the hundreds of people gathered to watch.
“This is the place where people say, if they’re going to meet you in the city, ‘I’ll see you outside a particular burger joint,’ but now they’ll say, ‘I’ll see you at the countdown clock.'”
The logo of luxury watch brand Omega, the official timekeeper of the Olympic Games, is on the watch, along with the official branding of the Olympic Games.
Liveris said it was a “mini” countdown clock, and that a larger one would be installed exactly one year after the event.
