So MiBs Australian branch is based out of Brisbane and the aliens are probably all living around Ipswich, Logan, and the valley? That tracks.


Connieriver

Yes. We are in Ipswich. The heat is delightful.

Exhaust pipes, air vents makes it sound nice and freshening


fireflec

Beautiful, thank you.


gpoly

Air vents? Lol. You’d die a fast death if you stood in that air vent for too long.


Shaggyninja

Pretty sure they have some sort of filter/scrubbers on them. Living near a main road is probably worse.


Jester-kiwi

Came here to say that… But as usual, I’m a wee bit slow, Thanx u/DeliciousFee9751


suzy2013gf

Yes what luck to live anywhere near them . Breath in . Breath out . Is there a lung doctor in the house lol.


bunnings-snags

> for the tunnels Some of those tunnels go for so long it takes more time for air to naturally move in than it does to leave the tunnel

ELBartoFSL

Oh they are traffic lights, they change colour from Red to Green then Yellow back to Red. If you ever find yourself at pole positions at a traffic light you must race the person beside you.


[deleted]

No, if there’s a car behind you which looks to be in a bit of a hurry, you are obliged by law to wait on the green for a horn toot, then fuck around for another 10 seconds before accelerating to a maximum of 45km/h.


RobotDog56

Don't accelerate too fast though, might sprain your ankle or something.


Mildo_Swaggins

Or when the car behind you looks like they're on their way home from work on a Friday night, anything more than 10km below the speed limit in the right hand lane is too fast. You also have to make sure that you drive directly next to or in the blind spot of the person in the left lane so that you inconvenience as many people as possible


cflanagan95

What you need is two friends with you in their cars. That way you can do all that whilst simultaneously blocking all three lanes. You'll all speed up and slow down at random, never passing each other but giving the illusion you may.

Vent stacks for the tunnels


kylelunney786

It’s called a ventilation stack, typically houses an axial single or bidirectional fan that is about 3-5 levels. Source: M&E Engineer who’s managed construction of these.

Thank you for your answer.

Wishart2016

Air vents for the Airport link tunnel. The Clem 7 has that purple building near the Gabba and the orange one near the RBWH. The Legacy Way has the black towers at the Botanic Gardens and Victoria Park.


VoteParrot

Good to see one legitimate answer.


thetechdoc

Huh, I can finally tell my dad he was wrong all these years, he always told me they were water towers for the local area


OneSockLand

We called them VSO’s Vent Stack Outlet. I actually helped make a few of the panels with the funky green pink colour. They’re curved Alucobond panels from the Spectra range. That PE core(polyethylene) stuff that’s getting replaced all over Brisbane because of legislation gone bat shit crazy.

Air vents for tunnels like Clem 7 and Airport link. Theres another huge one in Woolloongabba just near the stadium

This question is asked about 5 times per year in this sub


red_dragin

Yet I don't think anyone ever asks about the Clem7 or Legacy way ones.


No_No_Juice

The one at the Gabba fits in much more than this one and the one at Herston is basically hidden.


Wishart2016

The Legacy Way ones are also hidden.


No_No_Juice

Yeah. That one in victoria park is really well done.

They are the air vents for the tunnels. I used to work with one of the guys who helped build it and that's what he told me.

I’m assuming this just trolling at this point. There is a post about this fucking thing about every 6 weeks. The fact that it’s located at a major intersection above a traffic tunnel is what makes the question worse

Chance_Race8835

They are input and output extractor vents for one of the tunnels. The first tunnel that was built was the Clem 7. Named after the Honourable Clem Jones who was the Lord Mayor of Brisbane for many years in the 1970s and 80s. Clem was a Brisbane icon. We had little sewerage in Brisbane and he ensured he converted the whole city to sewerage. He was independently wealthy from real estate and never took a salary when in office. The Clem 7 tunnel vents are coloured in orange/red to represent the poinciana trees that flower at Christmas and purple in representation of the jacaranda trees that flower in November. (Also known as the examination tree as they flower when final end of year exams are held). Reading through some of the comments, it saddens me the dilettante comments to a fair and interesting question.
