A past you can believe in

Ahhh! James N. finds a Mt. Lawley billboard being scraped back through the years to reveal a Pizza Showtime ad. Hope against hope that there’s a Peter (Smooth Pierre) Dowding “Labor, a future you can believe in!” poster still waiting for the paint scraper to reveal.

    In a fair and reasonable world, the billboard should be heritage listed, immediately.
