I know that my council requires the name of the person/company taking out the permit and the name of the person/company who will be performing the work, so hopefully this is the case at Yarra. Records "should" exist for applications, both finalised and abandoned, for all works that required a permit. Applications could have been made prior to 1993 so being too specific may not get results, however being too broad could cost you financially. http://www.yarracity.vic.gov.au/Your-Council/Governance/Freedom-of-Infomation/ (the spelling error in "Information" is in the URL)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-14449227459013551352012-07-25T12:26:54.852+10:002012-07-25T12:26:54.852+10:00Ewww, didn't she call her dog "Bob Ellis&...Ewww, didn't she call her dog "Bob Ellis"?

Thank you for your interes...Dear Professor Bunyip,<br /><br />Thank you for your interesting photographic essay series. I find it quite enlightening even though it does give rise to new unanswered questions.<br /><br />I wonder how it will affect the property values of the targeted properties and those near by. If the current property owners put their properties on the market, will the properties values rise or fall according to their noteriety?<br /><br />Should a selling agent, for example, advertise that the property was once the location where the Cymry-Hotentot mated with the AWU Satyr? Should the present owners pour a small bottle of cream onto the floral axminster in front of the fireplace so they can whisper, in hallowed tone, that this is where it happened?<br /><br />Extending this line of questioning further; what value would the Australian Museum place on this square of floral axminster in a gilded frame? Would it rate higher than a similar size square of billiards table green felt from a Bob Ellis - Marieke Hardy liaison, or a similiar sized square of synthetic carpet from a Clive James - Leanne Edelsten romantic moment (with melted Cherry Ripe chocolate daubings).<br /><br />Post modern Australia, to many questions, not enough answers.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14457232127152238.post-15690402659816593922012-07-24T15:37:42.500+10:002012-07-24T15:37:42.500+10:00Prof, possibly Town Mode was an accommodating sort...Prof, possibly Town Mode was an accommodating sort of little boutique where one laundered the means of purchase rather than in truth purchasing things. So those wardrobes may be a false lead. Fifty thousand dollars worth in one shop would get rather boring for me (unless it was a wedding dress), and probably for La Gillard, although I readily admit my stylistic choices are not those of Mmme Gillard, young and naive or not. I didn't come across this suburban-monikered little boutique on my recent Melbourne expedition to thrash the Ape's Amex with a little light couture in any place where La Gillard seeking power fashion and sexy whimsy might gayly (or not) have thrashed her own recalcitrant lad's largesse.<br /><br />Has anyone chased up Town Mode yet?<br /><br />And Prof - cottontail coits on the bedpost? They'd be big ones for that lady, I wot. <br /><br />Cher Bunyip, the image is stirring. However, nothing but frilly french knickers for such fun, please. Or Antz Pantz.
