NORTHERN TERRITORY STREET ART WITH A DASH OF ASBESTOS

Yet  again  there is  talk that  this  empty eyesore  building  in  the  Darwin CBD is  going  to  be  knocked down and  a major  development  rise   on  the site . A  former early  Woolworths  store, it is said to contain asbestos  and  for many years its  walls  have been  used  by  graffiti  artists , taggers  and  bill  posters. Way back it  was  Jolly's Store .  When  it was  a  Woolworths  store  it  had  a  large  upstairs   cafeteria. The  late Aunty Billy  Pitcheneder  regularly sat outside  the store  raising  funds for  worthy causes .
Graffiti and an anti nuclear  waste dump poster  on  the site.
