Nice photos Kath… I might use one of them. I have a vision (ahem) of a closer up shot with lots of red rust. Will go out with the camera one day soon!

I’d offer to wander ’round Paddington to get a few shots, but it appears all the cast iron has either been newly painted or replaced with stainless steel and glass…

Thanks Kath and Faith!
The skip might not have much in it that you would want now the neighbours have been through it in the time honoured Melbourne tradition.

Can I poke around in your skip?

I have many fotos featuring colour and rust and I think I remember there were even two or so with lace ironwork. (Corrugated iron is more my thing). Will trawl through my flickr account and see what I can dig up for you.

Just remember to securely cover your mini skip or when you go out the next morning to pick your paper off the lawn you’ll find that some neighbours have filled it with soggy mattresses, dead TVs and moving boxes!

I do have a couple of rusty lacework photos for you that I took on my walkies around Flemington – send me your email details to kathl@tpg.com.au and I’ll fling ‘em to you for your consideration, rejection or amusement.
