Tim the Yowie Man Crash relic finds home in memorial | The Canberra Times

Last week: Congratulations to Yarralumla’s Graham O’Loghlin, who was the first reader to correctly identify last week’s photo as “student halls at the west end of the University of Canberra campus, designed by John Anderson”. Graham beat other readers to the award, including Ken Moylan, Curtin’s Megan Moore and Sunshine Bay’s Nick Hillier. Many readers explain that although the official name is “Student Residence Halls Group 2”, when they were built 51 years ago they were nicknamed “Egg Cartons” for their stacked appearance, described as “reminiscent of a Southern European mountain town” as Queanbeyan’s Margaret Carmody recalled. Moreover, as Weston’s Sue Morton points out, the grouping of bedrooms around small communal facilities was innovative for the time and reflected students’ desire not to live in more traditional block-type residential colleges.
