First thing, apologies for the slackness, got back straight into the new job, and with two seasons of The Wire on the go an'all something was going to suffer...
It means unvanquished in Latin, and apparently there's a bus company in Melbourne called Invicta, but as it's mainly the motto of Kent, along with the white horse of Kent on the flag, it's weird to see this across the road from my new office. It's the entrance to the old Fosters brewery (on Broadway in Ultimo, near Central Station), which they've recently flattened and the ground is currently one big demolition/building site (it's pretty much in the centre of town and presumably the land's worth a ton more as something other than a brewery, probably sexy offices, the 21st-century equivalent of a factory).
I saw it for the first time last year when I was down at the uni (UTS) for a job interview and thought I was seeing things.
I'm guessing Fosters have some link to Kent? Whatever it is, it's a nice reminder that I have plenty of links with the garden of England too.
UPDATE: I've found the reason - it's on this wikipedia page

comment delated? is that for an interesting reason?
Ah, I didn't realise it did that and you had to delete it twice... nah, it weren't anything interesting. Because I took the 'you must sign up to post a comment' security option off, it was some random spam comment flogging summat.
