This book took me way back to the marble / parliament station / city square days. If you don't know what I'm talking about then you just weren't there.
I loved the part about Ron the train driver. I only came across him once or twice. But what an asset he was to the documentation of Melbourne graffiti back in the day.
This book gives slightly heavier attention to the Hurstbridge line than to other lines (obviously because of the majority of the contributors being from that side of town), but the other lines don't miss out.
I was really happy with the couple of guernseys I got in the book (I'm Jamit)... thanks fellas. I only wish I had a camera with me when I finished some of my other pieces and that I was slightly more generous in giving out photos!!
One other guy that got a guernsey here and there was my old buddy Wormy D. I've got no idea where he is these days or what he's up to. I remember Worm from grade 5 onwards at school, particularly grade 7, when we sat and talked about graffiti in what was probably Chinese class. We never did any work, except for improving our sketches, which wasn't on the school curriculum. Anyhow, I had no idea back then that Worm would end up becoming the most prolific bomber Melbourne would ever see. Never before or since have Melbourne's trains been so trashed than by that king of bombing. There was this billiards club at Camberwell Junction called "Phil's" where we used to hang out.
