...but I love this sign. It's in Heffernan Lane in the city - a laneway of many pleasing (and strange) signs actually. See my other blog Gleeful for more...soon.
Hey Greg. I like the thought of being instructed to commit nuisance.
I wonder why in Heffernan Lane nuisance is so frowned upon that a sign was deemed useful? And can you imagine that if a band of ragamuffins was bent on committing nuisance, they would have a change of heart on seeing the sign?
When I first visited Melbourne, we were out dining in the laneways and came across this sign. We have a photo of us standing under it. I live here now, and was nice to see again a little part of the charm that convinced us to stay.
* It has a lane named after rock band AC/DC and a swimming pool named after a Prime Minister who is believed to have drowned at sea
* Its vibrant multiculturalism
* Royal Botanic Gardens.
* Shady Caroline Street in South Yarra
* The disco balls hanging above Rankins Lane in the city
* The domed reading room of the State Library.
* The eucalyptus trees and old lamps beside the river near Fed Square.
* The huge mural spanning the length of the side wall of Dimmey's discount department store in Green Street Richmond
* The laneways, especially Degraves Street and Centre Place.
* The old terrace houses in the inner suburbs.
* The Royal and Block Arcades.
* The street art (commissioned and otherwise).
* The Victorian architecture, especially the interior of 333 Collins Street, the Olderfleet Building and the Melbourne Safe Deposit Building on Queen Street
* The view of the city at night from the Swan Street Bridge.
* The Windsor end of Chapel Street
* There's always a festival or major event happening.
I like the sign too as it strangely amuses me, more so when i think of some graffiti artist painting over the "no

What would be classed as 'nuisance' I wonder (lol)!

ReplyDeleteFL - so are you guilty of committing some form of nuisance?
