TIP OF THE HAT 2 - ' TO THE MURCHISON AND BACK, THE 2ND ANNUAL MALCOLM DOUGLAS MEMORIAL WEEKENDER ' 17/8/2011-22/8/2011

2011-08-27T20:14:00.000-07:00

There was this amazing bloke I grew up with, on the television.
He did everything I wanted to, but was much older.
He had a dog, a Landcruiser, a tinny, and endless freedom.

He met with mobs, cooked feeds and chased crocs up kimberley creeks.
A good hat and a sturdy pair of boots, this bloke did anything and everything.
His name was Malcolm Douglas, and though some say he was a little
rough around the edges he had a huge influence on who I am today.

Since his tragic death in September last year,
a group of friends and I have organised adventures to celebrate his life and the skills he fostered within us.

Welcome to the Murchison.

brackish water rafters club.

2011-02-25T04:13:00.000-08:00

The Brackish Water Rafters Club was established years and years ago. From its humble beginnings and staunch founding base, the club has grown from strength to strength.

Members include Liberal Back Benchers, Whelshpool Fitters and Turners, Vexillologists, Baristas, Artists, Concreters and Tree Fellers.

Their latest journey, in association with the two adventurers DIRK & JAMES, was to navigate the upper reaches of the Swan River in Western Australia by wooden pallet raft.

The two young men gathered supplies, packed tools and fixings into their motorcars, and set off on Monday the 21st of February.

The Raft was constructed from found materials with no expense.

The trip lasted 3 days and 19 nautical miles.

The aim of the journey - to reinstill the sense of boy hood adventure so many young people have lost.

Not through any fault of their own, but of their Fathers.

These days boys are given little or no guidance on how to grow up to be a man.

Subtle human aesthetics in Italian Car design.

2010-05-04T08:57:00.000-07:00

Design experience 100 in class presentation.

viewer discretion advised, presentation contains low level nudity.

Many people believe that automotive design is indicative of the human form.

It is commonly accepted that the Italian car designers, such as Giorgetto Giugiaro of Bertone fame, created cars that reflected aspects or connotations relating to parts of the human anatomy.

It is deciphering the gender of these aspects which is the most difficult part in understanding the motives behind them.

LIke it or not, cars are designed to appeal to the the demographic the car manufacturer is targeting. In this presentation i will look closely at Italian made cars from 1945 to 1975, and

in particular a body shape known as the Coupé - a hardtop sports car where the number of doors and sometimes seats are reduced from 4 to 2.

We can safely say that the Coupé is a shape targeted towards Men - in its impracticality, implied speed and of course aesthetics.

In my opinion its form follows that of the female body.

It's sexy, nimble, wide hipped and buxom.

She is a woman, not a girl. Whose persona would be an attractive, Crisp black blouse, high waisted skirt wearing St Georges Terrace Chartered Accountant. Single and 'straight laced' during the week, with weekends spent drinking far too much and letting her hair down.

The ever reliable fall back. The kind of girl you can take to breakfast on a sunday morning, and be happy every man in the room is staring at her.

For arguments sake i shall henceforth refer to all cars as 'she'.

i digress.

In terms of car design features and the human anatomy, I have chosen to break them up into 4 separate categories.

the eyes

the mouth

the nose

and the hips and chest.

We will continue in sequential order.

The eyes are commonly referred to as 'the windows to our souls'.

The headlights of a car closely resemble eyes, in their form and location.

They sit up high, and are directed forward. Without them at night, nothing is visible. She is in control, she leads the way - and it is comforting.

A situation where a woman can make a man feel secure.

Designer Marchello Gandini used pre-existing Fiat 850 headlights and surrounded them with the now well-known 'eyelashes' slatts for the Lamborghini Miura, visible below. This feature is the best known on the car. A car which is reputed, by Wheels Magazine, the be the worlds sexiest.

Coupled with the tight lip type grille, the eyelashes flutter and offer the expression 'you can't be cross with little old me'.

She is adorable. Men can identify with her.

Which brings us to the Mouth.

Guiseppe Merosi was responsible for the unmistakable Alfa Romeo grille. Its presence remains a constant in all of their models, and is only altered slightly by each individual designer.

Alfa Romeo: an early 101 series c.1960 and my 1966 105 series sprint GT Veloce.

The Alfa grille is often referred to as the 'heart', but to me it is more similar to pursed or opened lips.

Design firm Zagato even went as far as to add a gloss coat to the lips of their 1969 to 1975 Alfa Romeo Junior Z, with the addition of a single full width sheet of perspex.

For a fast and hectic life, she needs a big mouth to get the top of the ladder.

As we know, above the mouth is the nose

The human nose, with its prominent bridge, its elongated tip and its down-turned nostrils, is unique.

Our nearest living relatives, the monkeys and apes, have nothing quite like it. Those that do have a long snout also have a long face to match. Cars like the Maserati Seabring have a long snout on a flat face.

Designer Alfredo Vignale created a defined nose, with a septum clearly visible in the Maserati badge. Her keen nostrils flared.

The nose acts as a shield, a bony (or steel) piece of armor helping to protect our eyes. It can act as a shield against dust and wind driven dirt. There are considerable racial differences in nose shape, as there are differences in shape between models and manufacturers.

Modern designers have tended to steer clear of large noses on cars.

To understand the decline of the nose, in terms of beauty assessment, we have to look back at the kind of proboscis with which we pushed our way into the world. As babies we all posses tiny, button noses. As we progress through childhood these small projections grow in proportion to the rest of the face and reach their greatest level with adulthood.

So it follows that a small nose = a young nose. Add to this situation a 'cult youth' and the consequence is clear: the smaller your nose the younger you look.

For the female face the situation is more acute, because men on average have larger noses than women. So, to be youthfully feminine it is doubly important to have a small nose. It is at this point cosmetic surgery enters the scene.

For men, the female form is extremely appealing.

instinct draws us to the breasts and buttocks of the female form.

The hemispherical shape of the breasts is not a parental development.

It is concerned instead with sexual signaling.

This means that suggestions that mens' interest in womens' breasts is 'infantile' or 'regressive' is unfounded.

The origin of paired hemispheres of human female sexual signal is not hard to find. The females of all the primates display their sexual signals backwards from the rump region as they walk about on all fours.

Their sexual swellings are key stimuli which excite their males.

The rump signals of the human female consist of unique paired hemispheres, the bottocks. These can act as powerful erotic signals when she is seen from behind.

The Porche 911, albeit German, shows this best.

She stands upright and is encountered frontally in most social contexts. When she stands face to face with a male her rump signals are concealed from view, but the evolution of a pair of mimic-buttocks on her chest enables her to continue to transmit the primeval sexual signal without turning her back on the companion, like an ape would.

Which brings us to the most sexually charged Car, in my opinion, of all time.

the Ferrari Dino.

She has big roung eyes, a coy smile with shining lips.

Her chest and waist in perfect proportion.

Her rump abruptly ending in a 'Kamm tail'. Created by aerodynamicist Wunibald Kamm in the 1930's to smooth contours and reduce air resistance.

She is a fine looking lady.

Driving from Broome to One Arm Point, two and a half hours north.

The day was spent here, but adverse weather conditions meant the night was spent on the road looking for somewhere sheltered to camp.

Many creatures were spotted.

Its early Tuesday morning, and the six of us have risen to a day of smoke and glare, and face paint.

We were picked up by Kevin, and an older woman from the community, the previous night after greeting Lockie from his 5.50pm flight at Broome International Airport.

The two hour trip up to Beagle Bay was long and bumpy. With the 6 of us squeezed into the back of the troopy, along with the mountains of necessary luggage and new footys for the kids.

The constant pressure, squished shoulder the shoulder grew tiresome relatively quickly.

Nothing on the wireless.

Conversation was limited to that of a year eleven boys' humor base, of poo and wee jokes and Albys' last minute recount of a story regarding the training of a German Shepherd.

We were met at the school by Principal John Rose, who gave us a quick run down of the next days activities and then directed us to our sleeping quarters.

The three year eleven boys were gallant in accepting the thinnest mats available, telling me that they had 'done it on Venture' and that 'Nah man, they're ladsy and hella comfortable.'

How wrong they would find out they were tuesday morning.

So we're awake now and its early. Every one feeling the effects of the thin mattress.

Quick feed, grab my gear and its time to head out to meet the kids.

Today is Sacred Heart Schools Sports Carnival.
