      <image:caption>An unsigned watercolour by a very good painter. When I first saw it, I thought it was a print. I don’t remember what I paid John for it, but it’s a beautifully executed work of art.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>An oil painting by John Yule. Yule was born in Melbourne in 1923 and died in 1998. He was a friend of the Murrumbeena Boyds, in the Heide circle, exhibited with Doris Boyd and decorated pottery at the Martin Boyd Pottery in Sydney. Yule was also a writer and teacher. He was one of a crop of underrated Australian painters who, in the post second world war period, were surrounded by painters such as Arthur Boyd, John Perceval, Sidney Nolan and Albert Tucker. In a field like that, it’s hard to be noticed. I can’t remember what I paid John for this but it was incredibly reasonable. I am very pleased to have it and enjoy it immensely.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>This fantastic painting is by Gabriel Namatjira (1942 – 1969). He was a grandson of Albert Namatjira. When I bought this, John said to me, “Congratulations. You own a Namatjira”. I still can’t quite believe that I do.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>John sold me this print by the German painter and printmaker Christian Rohlfs (1849 – 1938) titled ‘Callas’. The title is associated with the Greek word kallos meaning beauty. I had never heard of the artist before, but I liked the print and still do.</image:caption>

The sign was erected by the Gippsland Co-operative Bacon Curing Company above its Dandy Bacon shop on the west side of Lonsdale Street in the 1950s and became a Dandenong landmark. After the factory closed in 1983, it went into storage until 1993 when it was placed above Dandenong Market.</image:caption>

That’s thousands of cycles of record, pause and play. A fantastic machine and a real statement about its quality.</image:caption>
