“Shonquice”, resident at Perth 6000 has a Nowegian friend who snapped this church in Karratha, one of the vilest towns in the country. Check out the lovely photo of derelict Perry Lakes on S’s blog too. 
David M sent in this artwork from Midland. No shot up the dress David?
Phill saw a nice chair tagging in was it Cannington? Ironically a pathetic attempt to make a lasting reminder in the city, now will be remembered for ever here after all.
And Dani saw some nice signwriting. 
Worst well.

I like that Midland art. Nice shot David M.
shazz, i think it is one of quite a few sculptures that are dotted through midland, particularly around the workshops and the town centre. they are all about the way people used to work and live in midland.
sometimes i like them, sometimes i don’t. it’s worth a drive out there to check out the art, there is quite a lot of it.
Actually I think I posted another of these a year or two ago.
Thanks for the tip curious. Truth told, it would have to be art of a very special calibre to get me to Midland. In the spirit of my new found positivity I should add I’m sure Midland is a good place to stop to grab a drink on your way through to the hills or Swan Valley. Much like Bunbury is a good stopover for a toilet break on the way to Margaret River.
i understand shazz – i love the old workshops and get to visit occasionally for work, but midland i prefer to just pass through.
Most brilliantly somebody obviously corrected the sign writer on the spelling of diesel as the first A is on fresh paint,
“Yeah that’s heaps better ay”
There’s so much worst about, …..”it’s everywhere, it’s everywhere…” just like ChickenMan.
Getting potable water from a Jeep, even with a manual air.con cold electric whatyoumightcallit, is a rare achievement.
Getting anywhere in a jeep without excessive expense is, too.
turbo water at that too. For fast drinkers
I don’t mind the sculpture either, but the signwriting is definitely as worst as Karratha. Yes, it’s an excellent con, but what’s OBO ?
Avagoodweegend.
OBO?
Washing powder that blocks you adedoids.
( or maybe “or best offer”)
Apologies, Rolly. Showing my age. In my day it was nearest.
Pommie thing, Snuff.
On the other hand, it could be “Or Bugger Off”.
i.e. not negotiable.
I thought we just said cunt. As in…
“PARKING- 2 grand cunt”
I am disappointed there in no mention of “tyre kickers” or “time wasters.”
I drove past those chairs the other day. They’re right across from the train line, I think near the Welshpool station?
Nowegian?
I think it should be Yeswegian, in line with shazza’s new mood of positivity
Dead author segue-
New mood was working out nicely until I was reminded that fuckwit John Travolta flew food aid to Haiti along with a dozen ‘Ministers’ from the ‘Church’ of Scientology to help out. That maniacal meglo L Ron has a lot to answer for.
That wasn’t all he sent.

Oh FFS!!!
pedant’s corner:
your tweet should read the USS Carl Vinson

I remember that weekend when it was in Freo maybe about ’92
I had never seen so many ugly women on the streets in my life, and they all got a root. Many of them several.
loved the Salinger-Winton tweet
now that he is dead perhaps we shall at last see publication of Salinger’s long lost surfing novel.
Yeah. THAT weekend. When even the rats and cockraches of Freo walkd bow legged.
Love the Karratha Church. Less hope than “Hope St.”
If that is the “Church Entrance” I’d hate to see the “Service Entrance.”
I believe an armed man was found outside Paul McCartney’s place with a heavily underlined copy of Cloudstreet in his pocket.
McCartney shits me.
Can you pop down and get an original pic for me? Nyuk.
Truly, that is the best joke i’ve ever heard. If that is your own LA, you deserve to have demented armed stalkers outside your gothic apartment builiding.
Thank you. I do deserve it don’t I?
Meglomaniac!
Funny ” an armed man was found outside Paul McCartney’s” scans to me as if the man had arms, but only like one arm.
Is that Surfriders on Clodstreet?
or is it Winton and the Dugongs Go Surfing?
I wonder if they collaborated on a novel?
It could be so.
The 140 characters was a little restricting. This was the whole story I wanted to tell.
“Dead Salinger found clutching an abusive letter from Tim Winton.” The Coroner has played down the effect of a 20 000 word obscenity filled diatribe from WA author Tim Winton found clutched in the dead fingers of JD Salinger. His doctor said, “At 91, he could have died from reading Gore Vidal’s shopping list.”
Your recent views have made this the biggest ever month for TWOP with a day to spare. Will be close to 75 000. Next stop 100 000 per month.
that’s because we are such fucking legends
The tea lady seems to be interfering with the table top. Midland boilermakers not good enough?
I’m surprised no-one commented on this :-)

Thanks TLA….
..the Norwegian’s also had a photo of Dampier – now THAT is a truly vile place.
Yours forever,
Shonquice.
I think Dampier is much better. K is like a piece of Perth suburb.
I think of Religion as one single concept. This concept in its broadest sense produced Angkor Wat – and the Karratha church. I wonder if the Karratha church produces a spine tingling moment when you see it in person for the first time?
Yes graham, a little bit of St Basils Cathedral right here in WA.
What, he couldn’t spell weasel?
