If you don't have a fence to hang the sign on, just use the back of the old ute, 20km on the back road to Marble Bar inland Pilbra W.A.
The Milford Hotel, under renovation and restoration on a corner in Waterford, is today’s image from the ubiquitous Poole Collection. I can see and hear all the Health and Safety professionals going pale, and taking a sharp intake of breath as the look at the scaffolding, the hoist, and the men on the top! The one straight ladder right to the top would be a wild climb on a windy day. :-)

I've been doing some behind the scenes shooting lately. More info on this coming soon…
Lighting info: (I wouldn't really call it Strobist since it was continuous rather than a strobe ;))
the lighting in the marble bar is *very* low (i'm talking 50mm @ f/1.4 ISO3200 and still shooting very slow), and very tungsten. The additional lighting brought in for filming made all the difference (and I get that sort of lighting so much better than i do strobing - used to be a light tech for stage productions). Directly above her head (about 1.5 m above) is a *very* bright globe (don't ask me what sort - didn't get to look unfortunately) with a chinese paper lantern over it to act as a diffuser (and black felt being used to "guide" where the light went). There was also a small spot with barn doors kept very narrow used to light up her torso and head (over my right shoulder about 4 m from her). The "halo" is from that chinese lanterned light above her - I spent a while getting that position right and am glad I did!
Marble Bar ist eine Stadt und Felsformation in der Region Pilbara im Nordwesten Westaustraliens. Das extrem heiße Klima mit einer durchschnittlichen Höchsttemperatur, die nur von Wyndham, Westaustralien, übertroffen wird, hat dazu geführt, dass die Stadt für ihr heißes Wetter bekannt ist.

Marble Bar is a town and rock formation in the Pilbara region of northwestern Western Australia. The extremely hot climate, with an average maximum temperature surpassed only by Wyndham, Western Australia, has led to the town being known for its hot weather.
The last rays of late afternoon winter sunshine light up the leaves in this gumtree.
This was taken out in the bush, not too far from the town of Marble Bar in North Western Australia. Marble Bar has the reputation of being Australia's hottest town.

Marble Bar is a town and rock formation in the Pilbara region of north-western Western Australia. It is well known for its extremely hot weather.
The town was officially gazetted in 1893 following the discovery of gold in the area in 1890 by a prospector named Francis Jenkins who is remembered by the name of the town's main street. The name Marble Bar was derived from a nearby jasper bar mistaken for Marble and now known as Marble Bar, which runs across the bed of the Coongan River.
In 1891 the town boasted a population in excess of 5,000 as it experienced a rush on the goldfields.
By 1895 the town had its Government offices built; these are now National Trust buildings. Cut from local stone, the buildings still stand today.
Possibly the most famous building in the town is the Ironclad hotel built in the 1890s, constructed of corrugated Iron, and given the name by American miners who were reminded of the Ironclad ships from the United States. In 2006, the Ironclad hotel was listed on the Western Australian register of heritage places.
Several large gold nuggets were discovered as a result of the goldrush. The 333 ounce Little Hero nugget, the 413 ounce Bobby Dazzler and the 332 ounce General Gordon nugget were all found in the goldfields around the town.
During World War II, United States Army Air Forces and Royal Australian Air Force heavy bombers were based 25 kilometres (16 mi) away as the crow flies at Corunna Downs Airfield. Allied airmen from the base attacked Japanese forces far away as Borneo.
It had a railway connecting with Port Hedland up until the early 1950s, which can be seen as a narrow gauge precursor to the network of standard gauge iron-ore railways that have since been created across the Pilbara.

Sydney, Australia.
Architect: Varney Parkes.
Varney Parkes was the son of Sir Henry Parkes who is regarded as the Father of Australian Federation & one of the nation’s Founding Fathers.
The Marble Bar is located beneath Sydney’s Hilton Hotel on George Street.
It was built in 1893 in an extravagant and ornate 15th century Italian Renaissance, Victorian & Art-Deco style.
The bar originally was called the George Adams Marble Bar & was located in the Tattersalls Hotel.
George Adams was the builder & the bar was funded from the proceeds of the Tattersalls horse racing sweeps.
Adams, from Sandon in England, arrived in Australia in 1855. He tried his hand at gold mining and worked on sheep stations.
George Adams used to visit Sydney for race meetings & frequented O’Brien’s Hotel in Pitt Street, which was home to the Tattersalls Club.
In 1881, Adams became the publican, organised a public sweep on the Sydney Cup, and eventually founded Tattslotto.
The venue cost 32,000 pounds to build which was a staggering amount of money in that time!
The bar features over 100 tonnes and 35 varieties of African, Italian & Belgian marble, Corinthian columns, ornate arches, numerous stained glass panels,
carved cedar joinery, bars made from mahogany, marble-laden fireplaces, and bronze surfaces.
The bar also features 14 Edwardian paintings by Julian Ashton, featuring naked nymphs, that are valued at $1.6 million AUD.
All this was built by the finest craftsmen to create an opulent ambience unheard of in the Colony.
In 1968, the Marble Mar was protected by a heritage listing (A rating) from the National Trust of Australia.
in 1972, the bar was meticulously dismantled, then painstakingly re-constructed under the newly built Hilton Hotel and restored to its former glory.
The architect in charge of the challenging re-assembly job was Jim Bryant, who described it as the most interesting project he’s ever worked on.
Sadly, the redevelopment that forced the relocation of the Marble Bar, also meant the demise of the beautiful Royal Arcade, designed by Thomas Rowe in 1882.
The change in ‘home’ meant a completely different visual ambience in the bar as it previously received natural lighting via the stained glass roof.
Now it was transformed into a fashionable subterranean cavern, minimally illuminated by low key artificial lighting.
In 2005, the Marble Bar was given a major restoration which has rejuvenated it significantly.
A scene from the 1966 comedy ‘They’re a Weird Mob’, was filmed in the Marble Bar before it was moved to the current location.
Popular Aussie rock band, Cold Chisel, shot the album cover for their Breakfast at Sweethearts album at the Marble Bar.
These days the 200 capacity room bar is home to DJ’s spinning R&B and reggae music and funk & lounge music bands.
The sound system at the bar has been recently significantly upgraded by Bump Productions of Sydney.
The Marble Bar is internationally recognised as one of the best bars in the world and is unique in Australia.

Just taking a break in photography for a little refreshment while walking around London photographing some of our capital city and couldn't resist this shot of all the beer pumps lined up along the marble bar. Maybe I should have sold it to the brewery as a little advertising for them. Fortunately it wasn't too busy at the bar at the time I took this shot.

It all took place at the super fashionable, Victorian styled event at Sydney’s famous Marble Bar.

Amidst the decadent and seductive backdrop of Sydney’s Marble Bar there was feminine touches of the Victorian era for the lucky few to see, from which Alex has drawn inspiration to create the dramatic and powerful eyewear range.
Guests who stayed the night got to see the new Specsavers limited edition striking red frame revealed.

A Favorite image .
Originally built in 1893 as a private bar by George Adams at the astronomical figure of 32000 pounds . It was funded by the Tattersalls sweep of the time and Adams didnt spare the quality on its fitout with tones of marble from Belgian and African quarries and cedar joinery . Stained pictorial glass panels and domed ceilings added opulentence to this Italian renaissance creation . The above shows the approach to the bar down a black granite staircase its all dark with hi-light lighting and situated in the basement of the Hilton Hotel in George St.
