 @heraldsunphoto_retro : 1962. Melbourne recently took a step backwards into the more gracious, less frenzied days of "the gaslight era" when the Lord Mayor, Cr M. Nathan, lit this shapely old gas lamp in Collins St. The lamp, now nearly 80 years old, had been preserved for the city by a private estate and, with enthusiasm all round, the State-controlled Gas and Fuel Corporation co-operated to bring the lamp back into full operation. This they did by laying new pipes and fitting the lamp with a time clock which turns it on at dusk and off at one a.m. daily. Girl at the base is Jenny Boyle, POST cover girl, dancer and gaslight admirer.

Here are a couple of TARmatic others :

ISO POD

From the 15th century and earlier 

(and also today within the fields of statistics and metaphysics) individual meant indivisible, typically describing any numerically singular thing, but sometimes meaning "a person". From the 17th century on, individual has indicated separateness, as in individualism.

- Wikipedia

1951

"O vast indivisible (interdependent) regard!"

Land Rights, Naming Rights, Label Rights

In 1983, Daniel Thomas, then Senior Curator at the National Gallery of Australia, contacted the Fosterville Institute of Applied & Progressive Cultural Experience to discuss institution Label differences.

FIAPCE had previously requested the NGA use the FIAPCE Label format when exhibiting Works Of Art created by FIAPCE. The NGA had presumed its own Label Claim Right to re/describe all its dis/contents, even those belonging to others. Daniel Thomas suggested the compromise of two Labels, displayed together. One representing the art/worldview of the NGA and one representing the art/worldview of FIAPCE. "The more the merrier", FIAPCE responded, and so it was agreed. (Even so, the NGA placed its Label above rather than beside the "Artist's label".)

Something similar is now happening in Australia as Place Names come under public review. Melbourne/Naarm for instance.

Governor Bourke visited Port Phillip in March 1837, confirmed Lonsdale's choice of a site for the new town and named it Melbourne on 10 April 1837[13] after the then British prime minister William Lamb, 2nd Viscount Melbourne, who resided in the village of Melbourne in Derbyshire. The General Post Office opened under that name on 13 April 1837.[16] Before being officially named, the town had several interim names – including Batmania, Bearbrass, Bareport, Bareheep, Barehurp and Bareberp.[14][15][16]  - Wikipedia

If the Crown Nameplate Stampers are too stricture bound to easily make change, then those closer to the ground feel less such restraint as they re-state their preferred place name claims on envelope addresses and official forms. Observed today on ABC TV (Victoria), the presenter introduced a news update with, 

"I'm Nate Byrne, coming to you from the land of the Wurundjeri People."

Closer to home, between (Captain) Hepburn and Castlemaine on Dja Dja Wurrung country, the stream name 'Jim Crow Creek' is once again under review, this time with a suggested alternative.

"Hepburn Shire Council is working with project partners, Mount Alexander Shire Council, North Central Catchment Management Authority and Dja Dja Wurrung Clans Aboriginal Corporation (DJARRA), on the proposed renaming of Jim Crow Creek to Larni Barramal Yaluk."

Place names, knighthoods, State Holidays, Standing Order Prayers in Parliament, public statues and other prominent signage. From below, all are under use-by-date review. 

In 1931, at the official Official Opening of the Castlemaine Art Gallery and Museum, the Flag of Australia (inset with the British flag) was displayed vertically and self-mirroring at either side of the symmetrical entrance.

HAku

Take the l out of lover 
and it's over*

Take the s out of slaughter 
and it's laughter

Take the i out of Haiku

from hokku to haiku 
         Main articles: Renga and Renku
Hokku is the opening stanza of an orthodox collaborative linked poem, or renga, and of its later derivative, renku (or haikai no renga). By the time of Matsuo Bashō (1644–1694), the hokku had begun to appear as an independent poem, and was also incorporated in haibun (a combination of prose and hokku), and haiga (a combination of painting with hokku). In the late 19th century, Masaoka Shiki (1867–1902) renamed the standalone hokku to haiku.[18] The latter term is now generally applied retrospectively to all hokku appearing independently of renku or renga, irrespective of when they were written, and the use of the term hokku to describe a stand-alone poem is considered obsolete.[19]

That must be the first architect now. Ah, yes. It's Mr. Wiggin of Ironside and Malone.
MR. WIGGIN: Good morning, gentlemen. Uh, this is a twelve-storey block combining classical neo-Georgian features with all the advantages of modern design. Uhh, the tenants arrive in the entrance hall here, are carried along the corridor on a conveyor belt in extreme comfort and past murals depicting Mediterranean scenes, towards the rotating knives. The last twenty feet of the corridor are heavily soundproofed. The blood pours down these chutes and the mangled flesh slurps into these large containers--

CITY GENT #1: Excuse me.
MR. WIGGIN: Hmm?
CITY GENT #1: Uh, did you say 'knives'?
MR. WIGGIN: Uh, rotating knives. Yes.
CITY GENT #2: Are you, uh, proposing to slaughter our tenants?
MR. WIGGIN: Does that not fit in with your plans?
CITY GENT #1: No, it does not. Uh, we -  we wanted a... simple... block of flats.

MR. WIGGIN: Ahh, I see. I hadn't, uh, correctly divined your attitude...
CITY GENT #: Uh, huh huh.
MR. WIGGIN: ...towards your tenants.
CITY GENT #: Huh huh.
MR. WIGGIN: You see, I mainly design slaughter houses.
CITY GENT #1: Yes. Pity.
MR. WIGGIN: Mind you, this is a real beaut. I mean, none of your blood caked on the walls and flesh flying out of the windows inconveniencing passers-by with this one. I mean, my life has been building up to this.
CITY GENT #2: Yes, and well done, huh, but we did want a block of flats.
MR. WIGGIN: Well, may I ask you to reconsider? I mean, you wouldn't regret it. Think of the tourist trade.
CITY GENT #1: No, no, it's-- it's just that we wanted a block of flats and not an abattoir.
MR. WIGGIN: Yes, well, that's the sort of blinkered, philistine pig ignorance I've come to expect from you non-creative garbage. You sit there on your loathsome, spotty behinds squeezing blackheads, not caring a tinker's cuss for the struggling artist. You excrement! You whining, hypocritical toadies, with your color TV sets and your Tony Jacklin golf clubs and your bleeding Masonic secret handshakes! You wouldn't let me join, would you, you blackballing bastards! Well, I wouldn't become a freemason now if you went down on your lousy, stinking knees and begged me!
CITY GENT #2: Well, we're sorry you feel like that, but we, um, did... want... a block of flats. Nice, though, the abattoir is. Huh huh.
