Sneebah was baffled by the Belmont Fedex Mission statement. Baffled, but kind of inspired too.
Lani saw a mattress under investigation in reservoir Victoria. And some which escaped the dragnet.
Fiona of Mt Lawley sends a handbill from Jack Van Tongeren’s post prison career.
Fiona says, “Please find attached a scan of a handbill distributed by the Australian National Workers Union. This was the name used by Jack van Tongeren and John van Blitterswick after their release from prison in 2002, after serving the sentences for the activities of the Australian Nationalist Movement in the 1980s. Note the appropriation of both the Eureka Flag, and the Rising Sun badge originally used by the Australian Imperial Force during the First World War.”
The Colour H, tells the sad tale that the very longstanding leather shop with the crazy horse is soon to be a vanished worst. I bought a belt there in 1987. I would have thought that cash injection should have kept it going a bit longer.
Worst well.
The Worst of Perth 
CSI Mattress.
Dumping something in a dump like Reservoir is sooo ironic. I’d start looking for a hipster somewhere around Brunswick.
You’re welcome.

Yeah I’m sure I walked past more mattresses that day without it even registering :) . What was funny was the “under investigation” part.
Maybe TWOP could cash in on this concept – like get some branded tape? I would definitely carry a roll of that in my bag, along with my trusty camera :)

Yeah – maybe a big A4 fluorescent orange sticker saying “This Worst has been reported. TWOP” like they stick on shitbox cars around Perth.
TLA would probably go to gaol for littering but we would all help post bail. Wouldn’t we?

All that the Reservoir residents need now is a cup of tea and a Bex.

It probably won’t be too hard to find DNA evidence in this investigation

I wouldn’t have thought it possible to improve upon the registration of that lawn, and yet the mattresses are inspired.
Many thanks Colour H for documenting the last days of The Leather Shop.

Yep, even back then they were heading “to forests 200 miles from Perth” and to York and Northam to describe… “Perth”…

When I see all that old stuff I just want to knock it all down and let Multiplex and BGC build something new.

I think the sequel from about a decade later is even more inspired. Bonus points for extensive use of the brand new Council House, and the expert post-dubbed whistling.

As much as I probably loved that pram, I could dig this.
