This would be the building that's now Petersham TAFE on Crystal Street I guess? Now I'm mentally scanning the suburb for other traces of Malley..

In my case the Petersham thing was fortuitous (and I don't think I made the connection for a while either). But once I did I started to notice other Malley-like things, such as the sign on one building of the Technical College that red: 'Languages, General Studies & Plumbing'.Laurie Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324479044544427139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072280968054782498.post-78096383179705632992009-04-17T02:38:00.000+01:002009-04-17T02:38:00.000+01:00Hi Laurie.

I've been wondering lately about Petersham/Teverner's Hill as Ern Malley's home and the current over representation of writers and artists there (eg. http://www.squatspace.com/petersham/) Surely there's a connection. Were you reading Ern Malley at the time?<br />Tim WrightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072280968054782498.post-26668772307982558832009-04-14T20:14:00.000+01:002009-04-14T20:14:00.000+01:00I lived in Petersham in 1972, then again on and of...I lived in Petersham in 1972, then again on and off from 1980 to 1986.<br />I was bemused by the story that 'Ern Malley' went to the Petersham Technical College. As for the illegal substances, I have no regrets, though I haven't touched the stuff since the early eighties.Laurie Dugganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16324479044544427139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072280968054782498.post-81201330606476189112009-04-14T11:27:00.000+01:002009-04-14T11:27:00.000+01:00this is a great photo laurie, (and even though i w...this is a great photo laurie, (and even though i was younger than you are in this shot) and i was living in melbourne, (carlton at that point)...i remember fondly,the election and pre election fever of 1972 (fond memories too of the lsd)Louisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00134209058300460374noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8072280968054782498.post-82453523925750747142009-04-14T09:02:00.000+01:002009-04-14T09:02:00.000+01:00What a great photo (and story behind it).
