I’ve often meant to stop and capture Fergus on my way down the Bumpkobahn, but, there’s always the risk of being raped by an agribusiness graduate or similar. Bento braved the cornholing and wake in fright branded Campervans. Fergus is kind of ok though right? Bad, yes, but kind of ok.

I like Fergus.

Not worst.

Not worst. Despite its nakedly commercial origin and intent, this is way better than other recent public art attempts at “placemaking” and so on. I will contain myself today.

Mind you, it is kind of shitty. Second photo reminds me of Rodin’s “The Thinker.” I wonder if the resemblance is deliberate.

But did you like Cocos Above The Ruins? I might go for some better snaps today.

Yes I did. Hard to see from the Outrage style focusing, but I was calling Cotton rather than Cocos.

And also way better than those tiresome painted cows. Still shitty but.

Did Bento really brave the cornholing? His windows are up, and he seems to be travelling at speed…a cynical person would allege he was too frightened to get out of the car.

Having done the hard wheatbelt yards myself, I affirm your suspicions. My greatest regret is not to have photographed the plastic bag I witnessed blowing down a Merredin street. I would have called it “A Merredin Beauty.” True story.

It was more about inopportunity than fear. You get your man on after driving 100 k’s or so east. “Down South” doesn’t really count.

I’d give it a passing grade, with not all that much in common with Rodin’s “The Thinger”.

I liked both the Harris and Wilkins/Neeson tweets more. I guess Doc Neeson is with the angels now. Must be a bit confusing.

Known in dogging circles as the “”Sinner Dog Sanctum”, it allows Troy, with half a carton under his belt, to park his car up Fergus, then some “activities”, then to sleep and be woken up by the arrival of the tow truck.

Biggest load of bull I’ve seen in recent years.

Its a far better entrance piece than the aeroplane wing that used to adorn the gates of Bunbury. That shitty piece was removed nearly 2 years ago so they could widen the road (after being installed in 2008 at the cost of about 100k to ratepayers). Its now sitting in the council depot. Hopefully it’s recycled into Emu Export cans
