If there are diverse kinds of knowledge and ways of knowing place, then we need to learn to value the different ways each of us sees a single place that is significant, but differently so, for each perspective.

Easter « Previous | |Next »
April 14, 2006

I'm down at Victor Harbor for the Easter break. I'm currently in a down mood today as someone had crashed into my old Kombi van (1973) and destroyed it. It's the only motor vehicle I've owned since I've been in Australia after immigrating from New Zealand in the 1970s. I was really cut up.

Then, whilst gardening, I fell off a ladder onto steel stake that went into the thigh of my left leg. So this cartoon appeals:

Tomorrow is another day, is it not. If I can make it I will plant some trees and shrubs to disguise the way the old beach and community ethos of Victor Harbour has become another suburbia with its paranoia and obsession with private property.The whole sea change phenomena that has enveloped Victor Harbor sure has its downside.

Happy easter folks.

So sorry to hear about your Kombi Gary. I am also a Kombi lover and owner, and so understand the depth of your attachment.

Great cartoon.

Jo.

Hi Jo,
good to hear from you. I hope all is well.

yes it is suprising how an industrial commodity can embody so much cultural significance.

In Australia the Kombi signifies the counter-culture libertarian spirit of 1968 doesn't it. People utilizing their freedom from convention to explore Australia and to develop their freedom to become something different to their parents.
