“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.

The Worst of Perth 
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.

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.

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.”

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?
