Expo 2020 Olympiad Uluru

This was a fantastical idea to set up a joint Universal Exposition and Summer Games Olympiad at a purpose-built United Nations run international multi-function polis in the heart of the Australian desert at the foot of Australia's most famous landmark - Uluru.

I started this idea - and was gripped by it - from about 2005 until 2008, when the practicalities of the vision prevented further exploration.

It was truly a fantastical idea - and included a 1,000 metre symbol tower of an indigenous Australian male holding spear for support, at Uluru's base.

The theme was excellent though - "Respect and Preservation of the World's Indigenous Cultures" and would have tied in very well with the 2020 250th Anniversary of Captain Cook's proclamation of Australia for the Great British Crown.

A powerpoint presentation was developed - which was presented in Darwin, Alice Springs, and Uluru itself in 2007 - read it here for what could have been!
