37. Sydney's Looking Good No. 1 50 Suddenly in 1971 the Wreckers and/or Developers' hoardings started blossoming! To divert attention from the happening behind, above and below?.

38. Sydney's Looking Good No. 2 50 William St, 1971-72, I think. Hoarding designs becoming more important as wrecking takes over the city - every street looks alike otherwise.

39. Sydney's Looking Good No. 3 50 William St, still, I think. Wrecking becoming more ferocious, noise, dirt adding to confusion. Being pushed aside by construction workers is part of the game. Yes, it is/was William St. There goes Whisky au Go Go.

40. Sydney's Looking Good No. 4 50 1971-2. Trapped in endless Developers' cloisters. Through a break in the traffic the sign reads "livetti SUM" with the arrow indicating the total direction.

41. Sydney's Looking Good No. 5 50 1971-2. It must be York St. Those school children on the daily trip to and fro will either have permanently damaged eyes, ears, lungs, etc., or conditioning for the next 40 years of "progress".

42. Sydney's Looking Good No. 6 50 H is for? Holes, Hooks, Hell!!!.

43. Sydney's Looking Good No. 7 50 1972. There goes the Tank Stream among other things. The Battle must end soon - Ruthless Brutality will win. We can't take much more. Old Sydney nearly all gone.

44. Sydney's Looking Good No. 8 50 The Battle is over! Dare we hope? No - it has only stopped temporarily. Shortage of funds? Jack Mundey? A moment of mourning for a murdered city?.

Shocking Diversity.
