Bento took a trip to Gerro recently and kindly took a shot of their monument to Mainy. In the tradition of TWOP he made sure he included the nearby toilet block. I’m a bit disappointed with Geraldton. Surely they could have worked up something more garish and repulsive than a beach hut, as if Mainy was playing some kind of lowbrow Gilligan to Ben Cousins’ Skipper, (and John Worsfold’s Mr Howell).

What a moving tribute – and on the same day that Ben Cousins is retiring from football, presumably to concentrate on other interests. Perhaps we should all take a moment to stop and think what Mainy meant to us all?
The lesson I took from Mainy was if you are on a massive bender and the cops have been called a couple of times already you don’t send Ben Cousins out to get the Chinese take-away. It is a life lesson that has served me well.

Jeesus, what awful writing, “At the time of us commencing work on this project, the city already had in place a major report on the trails that idetnified their overall location, themes and featured sites for interpretive signage. Our work hence involved working with this core resource to turn it into the on ground product required while at the same time being alert to the nuances and opportunities that arose in the course of implementing this.”

Oops, fell foul of the libel. Well and truly! Thanks, TLA (I actually mean that quite sincerely, no sarkiness whatsoever! Quite amusing that I could have that in me…didn’t know I did!)
Maybe too close to the bone, or too soon. Oh well. We can all have our interpretative signage writ large within our imaginations. Perhaps just best to chuckle to ourselves of what possibly, allegedly or indeed did go on.

well I’m certainly not sure if this is true or not but for starters, it’s Geraldton-Greenough (pronounced briskly “gren-oef”) these days. Much the same principle as Albany, which is said “All-bany”. It wouldn’t suprise me that it was Rani’s idea to erect this contemplative shed as her parents are certainly likely to have been Freo orange bagwash types back in the day as the tedious expression goes. And could only be WA that would xxxx xxxxxxxx, although at least he was denied his own freeway.
