Stranger Melbourne

Whelan the Wrecker, Skipping Girl Vinegar, and the forgotten St Kilda Girls

Stranger Melbourne

Show Notes

Whelan The Wrecker, infamous in Melbourne, and possibly the master of advertising and risk assessment. The Skipping Girl Vinegar sign, and the long enduring adoration of the public, despite her turbulent time on a roof. The forgotten Girls of St Kilda's esplanade, and some unfortunate wood panelling. Also includes Barry Humphries, and an awkwardly placed cactus, along with an angry man on a tram.
