Episode 13: Mr Eternity

On New Year’s Eve 1999, the eyes of the world were on Sydney and 2 billion people from around the world watched as the city to soon host the Olympic Games, welcomed the new millennium January 1, 2000. Sydney celebrated before any of the other great cities of the world and during the ‘Y2K’ computer bug fear. Sydney put on a display of fireworks never seen before. The world marvelled as Sydney Harbour was engulfed in spectacular fireworks.  Ending in a crescendo, as the smoke cleared, through the haze, the distinctive illuminated copper-plate lettering style of the word Eternity appeared, in 18-metre-high letters on the Sydney Harbour Bridge. The Sydney crowd cheered in delight as the rest of the world looked on bewildered.

For those who did not understand the significance of those millennium celebrations … Terry Lees relates the story of Mr. Eternity – the Sydney Legend, the most famous graffiti artist in Australia’s history.
