Here's a short movie focusing on Sydney trains, filmed in 1988 by Simon P Smiler. There's good footage of the ridgees painted red, some rattlers, ghost cars, a sprinkling of graff, the old brown seats and lots and lots of open doors.

 

Central yard damage is featured.

 

The hydrofoil coming into Circular Quay is the highlight for me, with the music giving it its effect.

It probably could have done without the second Bridge crossing.

Young hopscotch aficionados could become unwitting criminals under proposed new anti-graffiti laws in New South Wales.

 

The legislation, which has been introduced to the NSW Parliament, makes it an offence to intentionally mark any premises or other property without the permission of the owner.

 

Greens MP David Shoebridge says there is no requirement in the legislation for a mark to be permanent or difficult to remove.

 

He says that means it will technically outlaw things like chalk hopscotch squares or handball courts drawn on footpaths or bitumen.

 

"Unless the kids get the consent of the local council they're committing an offence," Mr Shoebridge said.

 

"This Government is going to be putting on the statute books laws that make it an offence not just for kids to chalk a hopscotch court on the footpath, but for Mr Stace to have chalked 'Eternity', or for a street artist to put a rainbow crossing on the road.

 

"This will now all become criminal activity. If children get caught by police they'll be facing a $440 fine. Now that's just nonsense."
