Forage no more.....

On the search for materials for a new sculpture piece, I was led to a local scrap metal yard. I have been frequenting this place for a long time now, only to find out I was not allowed to forage in the yard no more. Two words...Public Liability.

Another great resource for Central Coast artists was the now defunct "Junkastic Park" attached to the Kincumber rubbish tip, it was "found object" heaven for a me! You name it, they had it...and yep those dirty two words were the cause for it's closure a few years back. Another two words...fuckin sucks.

Thought i'd try to find a pic of "Junkastic Park" for the post with no luck, but did stumble across this report dating back to 2002...it even mentions Port Mac's Peppermint Park (skatepark) which suffered the same fate. click here www.gosford.nsw.gov.au/liability

Have we gone crazy? Where will it end? Thank goodness i've still got the good old kerbside pick up.
