"This project, combining educational, environmental and artistic themes, was based on an initial temporary model located on the foreshore in 2005. The City of Port Phillip, Lonely Planet Foundation, Chris Lansell of Monash University, artist Cameron Robbins, Science works and the Astronomical Society of Victoria, collaborated to bring that vision to reality in 2008" (Text from 'Walks in Port Phillip, Solar System Trail')
