AND SO MY FAITHFUL READERS IT HAS COME TO THIS: I can invisage an ad. in the "BYRON NEWS", and the "BYRON ECHO", they are our local newspapers in the BYRON SHIRE". It would read something like this: "Help the village of BRUNSWICK HEADS celebrate EARTH DAY", (sand day?). The editorial would be headed; "BEACH EROSION?, WHAT ABOUT POLE EROSION?", and something about nature giving the earth to us for a "loan". OR, "BEND YOUR BACKS FOR HUMANITY". Maybe; "LOSE YOUR PUBICS FOR A BETTER SOCIETY". Also; "SLID DOWN THE POLE AND (then) RE-GROW THE VEGETATION". The 'Positions Vacant' ad. may read: WANTED; "Very agile pole dancers required, no pay, just a be a nature lover. Male and / or female persons please apply, must be prepared to 'dance / slide in the nude', older persons will be helped to the top of the pole". There would be a description of the venue; "Brunswick Heads, just south of the 'south wall', the pole is clearly visable. It is encrusted with abalonie, crabs, seaweed, crustaceans, biteou bush and other animals, including plastic pipes. Inspection is invited". There will be covernants, sorry no cover, just the 'nants'. Must be unclad, (nude), all of the swimmers in BYRON BAY are nude anyway, (wish they would BRAZIL). You know. like shave. MORE IS ON IT'S WAY. Incidently, the pole you see is of a 'companion' pole at NEW BRIGHTON. I shot this image some 28 years ago. You will not be using this pole, it is only 50 grit. I can see additional information required re the "POSITIONS VACENT" ad. "Must have rock hard fannys and rock hard priapus, (you pick which pole to slid on). No professional "POLERS" to apply. WE want them 70's folk". You must understand that this proposal is based on the concept of proclaiming nature; "THE POLE GIVETH AND THE POLE TAKETH AWAY". And I slid away into my 3rd chardonnay, sending a request to the Federal Government for a coupa' dollars for Australian Art.
