Worst of Perth Walking Tour (Part One)

Worst Public art/sculpture

Some excellent work here from Cimbali. May have to reconsider Morley Walruses as worst of the worst public art. Kalamunda is a suburb in the hills east of Perth. Over to you Cimbali…

Cimbali says, “Firstly, Gone Fishing, otherwise known as The Person In the Pond, by Vic Markovic 1983 in Stirk Park Kalamunda. This one is freaky enough in daylight but at night can frighten the bejesus out of most would be bogans. Not enough however to prevent them setting fire to the park benches last night (see three remaining uprights in the background) although that may have been in protest at the deplorable state of public art in Kala.

Had your fill? Walk east through the park and you arrive at the Famous Piddling Honkies…. But that’s for Part two.”

Jeez, thanks for that “gift” Vic, and thanks Cimbali. Worst of Perth Walking Tour Parts 2, 3 and even 4 TO COME Cannot wait! -ed.

    We actually named the person in the pond Margaret Thatcher. You know she turned all those who opposed her regime into ducks?
