No Smoking
Melbourne Exhibition Centre (aka Jeff's Shed), Clarendon St Southbank.
This single beam hangs in the otherwise soulless, cavernous corridor running down the side of the Exhibition Centre. Apparently it's an old oregon floor beam that was ripped up during renovations in 1985, 11 years before the current building was opened by (vomit) Jeff Kennett.
What of course remains to be explained is why the old building had no smoking signs painted on the floor.
