11685M Alamein fountains at QAG 20230610_152704
Each fountain looks like the Alamein Fountain in the middle of King's Cross in Sydney.
But they are called the Dandelion Fountains and the QAG describes them in this way:
Australian architect Robert Woodward (1923-2010) gained widespread recognition for his innovative fountain designs. Woodward was commissioned to design the water feature at the Performing Arts Complex and a fountain for the Queensland Art Gallery’s Watermall. The Gallery’s dandelion fountains have a connection to Woodward’s El Alamein Memorial Fountain in Fitzroy Gardens at Kings Cross in Sydney, a modernist design which evokes a huge dandelion of water. The Gallery’s grouping of nine smaller sphere-shaped nozzle spray heads are radially arranged on stalks to create the impression of a dandelion, the fine mist of water makes a sphere of water, the spray sensitive to air changes from convex to concave creating an ever-changing movement.
