Six kiosks have been installed. Start outside David Cairo building (#192) on Tin Alley Road - located at the top edge of the Parkville campus - where the first kiosk is located. Walk down Tin Alley, then turn left down Union Road and right at Deakin Court. Continue down Deakin Court to the next kiosk located outside the Union building. Walk further into Deakin Court and sit amongst the trees. Continue walking into the court and turn left onto Professors Walk where another kiosk is located outside the Biosciences Building (# 143). Continue along Professors Walk past the Baillieu Library (#177) until you reach the kiosk outside the Brownless Biomedical Library (#182). Continue across the South Lawn (sit and read if you like), past John Medley West and East (#191) on your right until you reach Wilson Avenue. Notice the kiosk located outside the Old Engineering building (#173). Head back along Wilson Avenue until you reach the Infrastructure Engineering Building (#174-176), adjacent to the Visitor Centre, where the final kiosk is located. Exit onto Grattan St and walk up the road to have coffee with one of our partners! The end.

Join in the making process by sharing this page via social media with: #ThinkingAboutImmortalityAndKindness —tagging @correspondencesstudio—so we can keep track of your contribution! Alternatively, if you spot a poster on your travels, take your own photograph and share that with the hashtag. Any platform will do. So, please ‘share’, ‘tweet’, ‘post’ or get ‘linkedin’ to your heart’s content to spread the kindness far and wide!
We thank the City of Melbourne and our Private Patrons for their generous funding and belief in our project, without whom we would not have been able to proceed. We also send our heartfelt thanks out to our Co-Exhibiting Community Partners. Please give them a shout out by tagging them in your post!
