However, the campus is a hilltop of state forest, with as little native vegetation as possible cleared for the buildings, so Ben.Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11879705585399028153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-39157794114121569422006-11-20T21:22:00.000+11:002006-11-20T21:22:00.000+11:00Yakety Yak was a film made on the Latrobe campus i...Yakety Yak was a film made on the Latrobe campus in the early 70s when it was still being built. Besides which it's a funny film. <br /><br />I don't go for UTas Sandy Bay much (some buildings are OK). I do like LaTrobe; I also like UQ at St Lucia, and the main Griffith campus is good; ANU is delightful in many ways; Monash is god-awful (which is why I said compare!) and Deakin Geelong has some David Nicholshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13306950287048502105noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10611988.post-61213933056565901022006-11-20T09:19:00.000+11:002006-11-20T09:19:00.000+11:00ANU has glorious grounds, and its buildings are pr...ANU has glorious grounds, and its buildings are pretty interesting too, especially the newer ones. It has a lot of money for building at the moment and nothing for anything or anyone else. The art school was told recently that if we wanted a new building we could have it, but there was no money for staff or things to put in the building.

Harry is wise to praise it.<br /><br />The National Library has beautiful (enormous) Leonard French windows, and ANU has some of his paintings (there's a speech about them <a href="http://www.anu.edu.au/unihouse/news/Speeches/Mary%20Eagle.pdf">here</a>, which has about 8 blank pages appended for some reason).

Particularly Monash as it was so radical even early in the day and LaT was to some degree planned with broken-up spaces so no-one could congregate en masse with intent anywhere that led anywhere.
