Seen by Bento in the Subiaco Council foyer. It is the perfect worst combination of grandeur and cringing embarrasment. Jeezus Subi, how about Bunbury, Geraldton, Wagin, Subiaco, Corrigin? That’s a fight you may be able to win IF you can lure the tractor pull festival away from Corrigin. The idea that framing this seemed like a good ideato someone is brilliant. Is it a trick of the light Bento or is the text crooked too?

Well, it’s not actually a surpise is it? I mean over there you have the “Paris end of Perth”, and the “Mandurah/Venice Canals”, so it’s kind of a natural progression really :)

Subiaco, RM, in Italy, is a small, rather insignificant but historic hill town, some 50km East of Rome, surrounded by quite beautiful countyside.
Subiaco, WA, named after the Italian one which was home to the immigrants who first settled there, has deteriorated faster than the original by a large margin.
Despite having none of the endearing qualities of the original, Subiaco WA has successfully progressed from benign insignificance to become a blot on the landscape and a home for a large community of pompous self aggrandising wankers.
They like to claim culture; but really what they really display is “cultural cringe”:
The immigrant mentality, borne of homesickness, that claims all of the good values of the place they abandoned, whilst ignoring all the reasons for leaving there in the first instance.
It’s always good to remember that we are all immigrants, or the descendants thereof; except, maybe, our dark skinned cousins who we continue to try to sweep into historical oblivion.
One of the things that Subiaco, WA, does not have is the sort of organised crime gangs who hold the country to ransom.
Now, if certain sections of our community were to up-style their dress standards, move residence to a leafy Western suburb, and ride in black Alfa Romeo limousines with darkened glass, we really could have a claim to authentic Italian culture.
But those guys have opted to embrace the American fashion for skullduggery, and choose to live on the “wrong side of the tracks” or, in this case, river.
Same planet: Different worlds.
