LITTLE black bollards dot Canberra’s urban spaces. Designed to be inconspicuous, they serve TAMS’ maintenance personnel needing power for work tools.

Unless you’ve got nowhere better to go and need to charge up your phone or tablet. In which case, a willingness to jimmy them open provides a handy power point.

With the Chief Minister’s planned WiFi network some people would never need to go home, which is fortunate for those with no home to go to.

These two cracked open power points were found along City Walk this lunchtime.
