Set off across the Simpson Desert plain to make your way up to Chambers Pillar, the spectacular solitary column towering 40 metres over the surrounds.
Alice Springs and Surrounds, Northern Territory, Australia
The Chambers parking lot will be repaved as part of a cost share with the Town. A mini bioretention area with plants will be installed in this location with a curb cut. The water from the parking lot will drain into the planter bed. A raised crosswalk with decorative stamped red asphalt will be installed in this area. Sidewalks will also be widened in this area by 4 feet.
EDINBURGH CITY CHAMBERS
This is where the City of Edinburgh Council conducts much of its business. In particular, members of the public can attend most meetings of the Council, Committees and Sub-Committees.
The building and court yard, with its central location on the Royal Mile, is an impressive one. The John Adam design was completed in 1761, originally as a merchant exchange. However, the merchants preferred to do their business in the taverns and the High Street, so the Council took over part of the building in 1811 and over the years gradually expanded out to take over the whole building.
Entrance to the piazza in front of the Chambers is through an arched colonnade on the High Street. A large bronze statue of Alexander and his wild horse Bucephalus is at the centre of the courtyard.
Chambers Pillar stands proud in the outback about 120 kms South of Alice Springs. You need a 4 x 4 to get to this safely. We were only the second couple to go down to Chambers Pillar in the first half of February 2012 and it was very hot!
