NAUGHTY MONKEY GOES BANANAS IN QUEENSLAND HOTHOUSE

Warning to sensitive  readers and maiden aunts  - this  post  contains  material   which   may   shock.  

The goings on  in  VW Kombi  vans    during the  l960s and  l970s  ,especially  in the  hippie era , would  fill   an   Enclopaedia Britannica . 

Little   Darwin  was  recently  given the  rare privilege  of a flashback trip   inside  a  l975  counter-culture  Kombi   taken out of   storage, in   the  process  upsetting  a  resident   possum  or  three . 

Bearing   a   Victorian   numberplate ,  some   interior  items  ,  dangling   from  the   rear  vision mirror , immediately  grabbed attention ,


One -warning, warning , warning - is  a  swinging,   well  hung  monkey   in a vital part of  its  anatomy ,see   below , the naughty  bits  resized and  severely    cropped .

It seems its private part , avert your gaze  again , has a  special gadget  inserted which is influenced  by heat -like mercury in a thermometer -so  if  the monkey  was locked up inside  the Kombi  during a  frequent  Melbourne heatwave ( pathetic joke) the  member  rose , no  doubt stopping  traffic and  startling  passers by . Dare it be mentioned the  van is pea green  in colour?

Also   attached   to the mirror  is a  miniature  leather  boxing glove   and  a carboard    Kombi  van  cut  out . It is a wholesome rear  view of the  monkey ,which is  probably suffering from prickly heat due to  having been locked away  in a  hot garage for  years . 

1967 Hippie Kombi van , from  Wikipedia ,with rude artwork and a welcoming  mermaid which could have been  related  to  the mistreated one on Magnetic Island , perhaps her grandmother  ?
