1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:03,160
Speaker 1: Now we know the final color has been chosen for

2
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,600
Speaker 1: the Kinetic sculpture which is being installed at Bundilla Beach

3
00:00:06,640 --> 00:00:10,399
Speaker 1: for the fiftieth anniversary of Cyclone. Tracy and joining us

4
00:00:10,440 --> 00:00:12,399
Speaker 1: in the studio with a bit of an update is

5
00:00:12,440 --> 00:00:13,200
Speaker 1: the City of Darwin.

6
00:00:13,280 --> 00:00:14,920
Speaker 2: CEO Simone Saunders.

7
00:00:14,920 --> 00:00:16,800
Speaker 3: Good morning to you, morning, Katie.

8
00:00:16,840 --> 00:00:19,919
Speaker 1: Now, I know there has been in the early days,

9
00:00:19,920 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: there was some controversy around the sculpture.

10
00:00:22,120 --> 00:00:24,400
Speaker 2: But it's moving ahead. What color is it going to be?

11
00:00:24,920 --> 00:00:27,479
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the final color has been chosen by the

12
00:00:27,560 --> 00:00:30,240
Speaker 3: artist Phil Price, and it's an aqua color, and it's

13
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,280
Speaker 3: an aqua blue that he's chosen with reference to the

14
00:00:33,320 --> 00:00:35,760
Speaker 3: blue green of our ocean up here. And it also

15
00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:39,000
Speaker 3: pays tribute to the saltwater people, the Larachia people, the

16
00:00:39,040 --> 00:00:43,080
Speaker 3: traditional owners of the land of Duh and so it's

17
00:00:43,120 --> 00:00:45,879
Speaker 3: a much softer palate. The original color was just an

18
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,839
Speaker 3: artist's impression and it also you know, matches beautifully I

19
00:00:49,880 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 3: think with the sky, sea and sand and the surrounding

20
00:00:53,120 --> 00:00:56,080
Speaker 3: area where it's going to be and the kinetic sculpture.

21
00:00:56,160 --> 00:01:00,000
Speaker 3: It's called Coriolis, and it's also designed to repay respect

22
00:01:00,040 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 3: back to the history of Cyclone Tracy and the forces

23
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:05,320
Speaker 3: of nature that were impacted, you know it through Dahn

24
00:01:05,360 --> 00:01:06,360
Speaker 3: at that particular time.

25
00:01:06,560 --> 00:01:09,160
Speaker 2: Now, when is it going to be unveiled?

26
00:01:09,240 --> 00:01:11,560
Speaker 1: I think a lot of people where they're they're lovers

27
00:01:11,680 --> 00:01:12,759
Speaker 1: or haters of the.

28
00:01:12,720 --> 00:01:14,280
Speaker 2: Sculpture, they're going to want to see it.

29
00:01:14,360 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Right.

30
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:15,960
Speaker 2: When's it going to be unveiled?

31
00:01:16,120 --> 00:01:19,840
Speaker 3: Yeah, So the sculpture is being installed in November, and

32
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:23,120
Speaker 3: it's within the Stage One works in Bundilla, so it

33
00:01:23,280 --> 00:01:25,759
Speaker 3: is a construction site at the moment and it will

34
00:01:25,800 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 3: be will be the time when it's installed. But we

35
00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:33,839
Speaker 3: are having a community commemorative event on the thirtieth of November,

36
00:01:34,120 --> 00:01:36,119
Speaker 3: and the final place has been chosen for that. It's

37
00:01:36,120 --> 00:01:38,440
Speaker 3: going to be at the Ski Club on that Saturday,

38
00:01:38,480 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 3: the thirtieth, and it'll go from nine o'clock until midday,

39
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 3: so there'll be formalities and then an opportunity for people

40
00:01:45,760 --> 00:01:48,720
Speaker 3: to stay around. There will be some stalls, Salvation Army

41
00:01:49,160 --> 00:01:52,840
Speaker 3: giveaways and some food for the public as well. So yeah,

42
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: I really encourage people and families and everybody to come

43
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,360
Speaker 3: down for the formalities and then also also to stay on.

44
00:01:58,640 --> 00:02:00,880
Speaker 1: There's no doubt there's going to be a planned for

45
00:02:00,920 --> 00:02:04,320
Speaker 1: the fiftieth anniversary of Cyclone Tracy. What else does the

46
00:02:04,360 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 1: City of Darwin have lined up?

47
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:09,760
Speaker 3: Yeah, so the City of Darwin has a few events,

48
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:13,799
Speaker 3: so they've done that through the Cyclone Tracy grants. There's

49
00:02:13,840 --> 00:02:16,160
Speaker 3: events that have already happened and there's ones that will

50
00:02:16,160 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 3: continue on. But I think the best place for people

51
00:02:18,520 --> 00:02:22,280
Speaker 3: to go is there's a Cyclone Tracy dot Darwin dot

52
00:02:22,360 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 3: NT dot gov dot AU and that's the Cyclone Tracy

53
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,000
Speaker 3: website that's been set up where people and community can

54
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 3: go and put their events on that site. So if

55
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 3: you're looking to do something in relation to Cyclone Tracy,

56
00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,960
Speaker 3: everything is on that website. Or we also encourage community

57
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,400
Speaker 3: to put additional events if they'd like to, on that

58
00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:40,079
Speaker 3: website as well so they can share it.

59
00:02:40,120 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: Has there been a lot of like, has there been

60
00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:44,320
Speaker 1: a lot of events come through that people are holding

61
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 1: for those commemorations. Yeah.

62
00:02:46,160 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 3: Absolutely. The Richard Creswick and They're Remembering Cyclone Tracy Committee,

63
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:53,799
Speaker 3: They've got an event on the twenty third of December,

64
00:02:53,840 --> 00:02:56,560
Speaker 3: so they're looking to do their events during that Christmas

65
00:02:56,560 --> 00:02:59,919
Speaker 3: period and they've also got an unveiling on Christmas Day

66
00:03:00,280 --> 00:03:04,000
Speaker 3: of the Cyclone Trace Memorial, So that's the immemorial which

67
00:03:04,080 --> 00:03:06,840
Speaker 3: is quite separate to the Kinetic sculpture which is going

68
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:08,840
Speaker 3: to be out at East Point, and there's some detail

69
00:03:08,960 --> 00:03:11,560
Speaker 3: on that side as well on the memorial as well,

70
00:03:11,600 --> 00:03:14,959
Speaker 3: which the Remembering Cyclone Tracy's contents put on there.

71
00:03:15,040 --> 00:03:16,440
Speaker 1: Yeah, we'll make sure we go and have a look

72
00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:17,880
Speaker 1: at that, and I'll make sure that we do catch

73
00:03:17,919 --> 00:03:19,920
Speaker 1: up with them as well, so we can let our

74
00:03:19,960 --> 00:03:21,680
Speaker 1: listeners and I know we've got a lot of people

75
00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:24,639
Speaker 1: that listen to the show that are Cyclone Tracy survivors,

76
00:03:24,680 --> 00:03:26,160
Speaker 1: so we'll make sure that we do catch up with

77
00:03:26,280 --> 00:03:28,000
Speaker 1: Richard and find out a bit more about some of

78
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,640
Speaker 1: those events and also some of the other community ones

79
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:31,480
Speaker 1: that are being planned.

80
00:03:31,560 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, Anti Libraries and Archives will have an exhibition that

81
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: will be opening later in the year, and the most

82
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:40,440
Speaker 3: awighted I think will be the refresh of the Cyclone

83
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,000
Speaker 3: Tracey Exhibit a Magnet as well, which I think sort

84
00:03:43,040 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 3: of early December that that's planned to open as well.

85
00:03:46,280 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: Yeah, it will be really good to see to see

86
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,680
Speaker 1: that once it is all complete. Now onto another event

87
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:55,640
Speaker 1: that is indeed going to be happening and well mid November,

88
00:03:55,800 --> 00:04:00,920
Speaker 1: I believe it's taking place, is the Christmas Pageant. It's

89
00:04:00,960 --> 00:04:05,160
Speaker 1: an absolute crowd favorite. People love the Christmas Pageant. How

90
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:06,680
Speaker 1: are the plans and prep going for it?

91
00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:10,160
Speaker 3: Yeah, it's going really, really well. So the Christmas Pageant

92
00:04:10,240 --> 00:04:13,280
Speaker 3: is joint a collaborative effort with the Northern Territory Government

93
00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:16,560
Speaker 3: and City of Darwin, and the Christmas Pageant is scheduled

94
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:20,360
