Posted on November 27, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Is it wise to have a Santa head stuffed and mounted next to other exterminated wildlife? Think of the children! This is in Timaru, a sort of Bunbury of the South Island. But on the other hand, Timaru seems to have an … Continue reading →

Bunbarians at the gates

Posted on November 10, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Despite having visited Bunbury for decades, I think I had blocked out this monstrosity, the sculpture of Lord Forrest, Baron of Bunbury next to the pissoirs in the main street. I thought it must be a recent eyesore, but the … Continue reading →

Well it’s Grand Final day, and what great value from Clancy’s pub. A pie AND a pint for only $20. Incredibly nice of them to only double the price. From Turf. And a sculpture of…well it’s a willie isn’t it. … Continue reading →

Hammer of Justice

Posted on August 15, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Some may remember the excellent walking tour of crap public art in Kalamunda last October submitted by Cimbali. It now appears that the Art Police, or perhaps drunken young Kalamundarians have taken public art into their own hands, hammering the … Continue reading →

Piss and teh Devil had done for teh rest.

Posted on July 28, 2008 by AHC McDonald

The broccoli and the zucchini still lie, for all that I know, where Sumich buried them; and certainly they shall lie there for me. Oxen and wain-ropes would not bring me back again to that accursed Spearwood; and the worst … Continue reading →

Lunchbox to Hell

Posted on July 7, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Finally got a chance to see the long awaited and much hyped Bon Scott sculpture yesterday. (Had to get away from Beaufort street for a while). Oddly it’s stuck in the corner of a glorified fish and chip shop. (Cicerellos?) … Continue reading →

The Worst Of Perth TV – London Court

Posted on June 30, 2008 by AHC McDonald

Now don’t get me wrong, I love London Court, despite, or perhaps because of how ridiculous the premise was and how out of place it is. For overseas worsters, London Court is a shopping centre built in Olde Englande style, … Continue reading →
