“Cocos palms, grass, and underbrush were whipped into a fury; and the frightened crowd near the Dance Collective headquarters in Winnacott Street Willagee, weakened by the lethal foetor, “the carpenter” they called “Teh Carps” that seemed about to asphyxiate them, were almost hurled off their feet. Dogs howled from the distance, grasstrees and foliage wilted to a curious, sickly yellow-grey, and over field and forest were scattered the bodies of dead kookaburras.”
Well at least this answers the question of what Willagee’s Alan Carpenter has been doing since he cocked up the last election. What the hell is going on up there? Something like this? Or maybe this?

I address my comment to the douche-bag also known as “the lazy aussie”,
Quite obviously you do not know the owner of this house , nor the story that surrounds the “Leach Hwy. Mannequin”.
The house was formerly owned by a local jeweller, whom not only lived there with his family, but also conducted his business from there. It now belongs to a different person, a good friend of mine and is architecturally one of the most interesting structures I have seen in my life, indicative of the early work of Frank Lloyd Wright. The owner is a collector of unique pieces that humdrum individuals, such as yourself, discard without knowining their true value. I could spend days rummaging through such items and see things from my childhood that I thought were lost forever.
As for the mannequin. He has been placing her in the window of the top floor now for around 10 years, her name is Helene, not Elaine, the source of her name I am not sure. He dresses her in various outfits depending on season, sporting event, social event or whatever might take his fancy at the time. She is displayed for the sole reason of making people smile, much unlike your remedial blog, and has an enourmous cultural following, again, much unlike your blog.
What gives you the right to post photos of his house on thie web? The property owner is unimpressed to say the least and it has caused much embarrassment for his young sons. Keep your juvenile blog but remove the photos, it is not your property to expose.
Just for a laugh, why not post some photos of your home and let’s let the faceless masses pick the shit out of it.
Peace out!

Well “The Lazy Aussie” do you really have any idea what you are talking about? You promote yourself as a comedian, photographer and writer? Are you for real! You only produce derogatory remarks about others and I question if you actually research what you write.
“Anonymous April 4” you most definitely do know the owner of this most interesting home, the fascinating contents inside and the story behind it.
The phone box that sits out the front was actually imported from England and is a reflection of the eccentricity of its owner. Eccentricity is often associated with genius, intellectual giftedness and creativity and is the outward expression of ones unique intelligence or creative impulse. Is it incomprehensible to you “The Lazy Aussie” that this house stems from a mind so original that it cannot be conformed to societal norms?
So to add to the already correct mannequin story, “Helene” (named after the owner watched a particular episode of Seinfeld) was purchased from down south and she came in a box full of other unique, collectable items that the owner purchased. She sat on the front seat of the car from Margaret River to Perth and the owner had so many comments they thought it would be fun to show her off in the second floor window. “Helene” has many followers, she receives letters and Xmas cards, has done promotions to raise money for charity and has had a song recorded about her. In my opinion, maybe the owner of this page would possibly change their narrow minded one if they actually took the blinkers off and put some research into what they write before shooting their mouth off.
The owner most definitely does not approve of the house being promoted in this way and whilst it’s not illegal to post a photo, I assume that you have researched the legal implications of the defammatory comments you have made. For those that need some explanation, the following extract is from the “Australian Defamation Laws and the Internet” website:
“Defamation is the publication of words or images to a person that damages the reputation of another [‘slander’ if spoken words, ‘libel’ if written words or images]. A defamatory statement is one that is likely to cause ordinary, reasonable people to think less of the person about whom the words or images are published. An inference that casts a defamatory imputation is enough to bring an action.”
Didn’t your mother ever teach you that if you can’t say anything nice then don’t say anything at all?
I agree, you should put a photo up of your home with a title to match, let the flock of seagulls attack it and let’s see how your children feel.

I’m a parent (of 2!), so I understand better than anyone else (except maybe people with 3 kids?) the hurt that is caused by the unthinking blind-closing of others, but I think you need to stop being “disappointed” with these people (especially in front of your own children).
