Still at a bit of a loss as to what to chat about, so I thought I'd show you a photo of this cool old original side show contraption. A couple of weeks back we helped a friend celebrate her birthday at Luna Park. Luna Park has been around for ever as far as I'm concerned. I remember going as a child and it being like nowhere I'd ever been before (this was before all of the DreamWorlds and SeaWorlds and MovieWorlds that are around these days).I was so impressed to see that many of the original features of the park have been retained. All the hand-painted signage and wall decoration, along with a few old machines (no longer working) standing around the edges, still watching on from the sidelines.
I was particularly taken with this kiss tester, the brass hand plate rubbed smooth from many contenders, many years ago.
I liked to imagine all the sailors and soldiers trying their luck during World War II.
I think our friends were a little perplexed as they dashed off to the next spew-inducing ride, Mr You and I stalled inbetween to look at all the old photographs and paintings on the walls and these great old machines.
