I'm down at Victor Harbor for the week. Suzanne has taken a week's holiday at the weekender and I'm doing some photography in the local area. I'm exploring sites that are easily accessible for an 8x10 view camera and are suitable for black and white.
I came across this scene early on Monday morning--the rubbish bin had been set alight by the local bogans using fuelant on Sunday morning. I had seen the bin smoking then when I parked the car and started to walk along the clifftops to take some shots of rocks. I thought little of it then, until I turned up on Monday morning.
On the weekends the bogans use their leisure time to knock over rubbish bins, ram them with their cars, spilling rubbish over the road, damage any cars left on the street, and burn the council rubbish bins. It's called fun.
This particular bin is in a car park above a tourist beach at the foot of Rosetta Head. The beach, which is well used by families, surfers, fisherman, whale watchers and others, is a particular target.

I guess if you don't like the ocean or sport in Victor Harbour there isnt much for kids to do.
