Nylex Clock

The Nylex Clock is heritage listed as an iconic feature of Melbourne, Australia and is considered part of the popular culture of the city. It is a neon sign sitting atop malting storage silos in the suburb of Cremorne. It is located adjacent to the northern bank of the Yarra River and the Monash Freeway and displays the time and temperature alternately. The text also alternates displaying the words Nylex Plastics that changes to 'Nylex Every Time!'. It is visible from many parts of Melbourne. This linkage is referred to in the song "Leaps and Bounds" by musician Paul Kelly and was once climbed by Brisbane-based activists Freshellen Frew, Ag Heard and several other Melbourne-based activists. Australian indigenous hip-hop artists Baker Boy (Danzel Baker) and Dallas Woods shot the video for their musical collaboration 'Black Magic' in various locations throughout the site.
