These ANZ Bank Automatic Teller Machines (ATM) are located along Pitt Street. A number of ATMs around the city this year were transformed into a "GAYTM" to celebrate the Sydney Gay and Lesbian Mardi Gras which was held in the city recently. The machines are colourfully decorated and have different textures including fake fur. The bank is donating the operator fees for non-ANZ cardholders from their GAYTMs to non-profit counselling and support organisation Twenty10 for the duration of the campaign. There are ten of these ATMs around the city including "Mo' Town" which celebrates the iconic disco moustache that dates back to the 1970s and "Pride" which celebrates the rainbow as a symbol of gay pride.
So Sydney! Excellent!

Go Sydney!
ReplyDeleteYou will never see them in Russia.
ReplyDeleteNow, that's really cool! We have rainbow cross walks on Vancouver's Davie Street, but no colourful ATMs like these. Yay, gay pride!
ReplyDeleteThey did a rainbow crossing in Sydney for Mardi Gras last year which I featured on the blog here.
DeleteDefinitely different!
ReplyDeleteGee - Does the cash come out in rainbow colours too?
ReplyDeleteIt's funny you say that because the receipts are rainbow coloured. :)
DeleteI would love to have found your blog before our trip to Australia.... I would have enjoyed Sidney much more!!
ReplyDeleteVery funny! Love the bright colors too.
ReplyDeletePS: I have one of those snails on my travel blog. What were they for?
The snails were part of the Art and About festival last year.
DeleteWow! Talk about bright! These are fun.
ReplyDeleteI think they should be permanent Jim :)
