One of the most delightful things about living in Inner West Cyberia is that marvellous visions just appear. This one was an overnighter. It’s on the facade of what was for years a derelict Newtown RSL Club that has recently been reborn as a chic hotel calling itself “the Urban”.
I’m up for any comments or discussion about the meaning of the work…… but isn’t the execution amazing ! All under the cover of the night !
Amazing, isn’t it !
Hey. I just noticed the pigeons. Perfect.

Thanks, Emm, looks beautiful. We’ve had some of similar quality go up in Newy, but I think the Council is paying for them.

Thanks, Algy. There’s quite a lot more where that came from. Same artist – Magee.

So do I viv ! We had some discussions over lunch. I think the prevailing view was that it referred to the insane rise in house prices in sydney – out of the reach of those like the couple in the painting – with the threat of the arrow heading towards the balloons.

A house across the road from us went at auction at the weekend $1 and a shit load million Their deposit was was nearly as much what we paid for the Cas del Algernon 23 years ago. The house next door to it went 6 weeks ago for even more.

I agree Algy. I thought local apartments going for $700k for 2 beds was an outrage – that was before they crept up to $850. Have not seen any houses around here go for less than $1.25M. The bloody stamp duty is more than most people have for their deposit. No wonder Baird is giving out infrastructure like lollies at a paedo picnic.

$1.76m, it went for the house next to that for $1.83. Up on the corner a house went for $1.95m which they couldn’t give away three years ago at $840k. On the other side a two bedroom house of about 9 squares went for $1.85m. Down the road theres new townhouses for sale at $1.3 to $1.4m. For a bloody strata town house. Madness f&$king madness.
