The Fence of St. Paul

Posted on March 8, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Bunbarian had a road to Damascus moment. He was all set to condemn a half arsed fence, a relentless blue sky and some crappy palms in Bunbury, when he fell to the ground sobbing. He loved it all, and wouldn’t … Continue reading →

Swanville

Posted on March 7, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Celebrate the knobbing off of the Guildford Hotel (or was it knobbing out? Titting off?) with some Swanville legopener as seen by Pete F. And just because the knob is up, doesn’t mean you can burn the place. Don’t burn … Continue reading →

Strap On Condiments

Posted on March 4, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Matt noted our report of minimal C &B at the 100 objects exhibition. He soothes the shock with a pic from The Met, (The Midland Met I assume).  Nice for some balsamic no?

Duchie No Pasaran

 NF#1 was in Midland again. Did they mean ambition and enthusiasm do not pass this point? For Midland, I assume that point would be Guildford?

Perth City Library

Posted on March 2, 2016 by AHC McDonald

How strange for a new Perth building to be a not worst! The new library was lovely. Not entirely sold on the  outside, maybe timber rather than the granite, but it was good. Light and open. But a library must … Continue reading →

Peace for Northam

Photo Op

Posted on February 29, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Most photographers go to Coogee Power Station to get very boring shots of the graffitied interior. Boy are those shots played. Please stop taking them. Blow-in has wisely documented the beautiful belly up fish and tyre tableau outside. I think … Continue reading →

100 Flanges

Posted on February 26, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Went to 100 objects from the British Museum exhibition. Some great things. Surprising lack of C&B over 4000 years. There’s this from Ancient Greece. Isn’t it facing the wrong way for that period? I didn’t think they were that flange … Continue reading →

Blow Bars

Posted on February 25, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Two small bars. One Charing Cross, that serves piss and shampoos. One in Bondi Junction that does not. By Vincent.

The Fringe is played

Posted on February 24, 2016 by AHC McDonald

Speaking of hubs and nodes. I’m declaring the Fringe Festival totally played. The surprising 5 minute shows and edgy performances are gone, and it’s all so predictable. Even the mermaids aren’t attracting children  – or fathers any more. And what’s … Continue reading →
