What is Nosey In Newtown?
Nosey in Newtown is about what goes on right under your nose. It's curosity about your habitat and engagement with your home. It's treading every footpath and delighting in every funny-looking dog and finding the beautiful in the familiar. It's about talking to the local shopkeepers and feeling connected with your community. It's about reclaiming the right to be a nosey neighbour. Not being invasive, or meddling, but sticking your nose around a few corners and sniffing around for surprising finds. Because what's going down in your neighbourhood is your business.
Have you been Noseyed?
If you've received a Nosey In Newtown calling card like this, then you've been Noseyed! You've inspired your neighbours to ponder something intriguing or wonderful that you have done. It would be lovely if you could leave a comment or send an email to let Nosey know more. No-one's privacy is invaded on Nosey In Newtown, and the location of private property is never revealed, but if you'd prefer to be removed from the site, that's no problem at all.

These are so cool!!
Unfortunately..there is no need to keep toasty here in Sydney...with 35*C days like today. gahh haha
I saw the one on Missenden rd too, I took a photo while I waited for a coffee the other week.
Guerilla knitting its called (there was a tag on the pole when I saw it) there's a whole movement- http://www.we-make-money-not-art.com/archives/2007/12/24c3-the-histor.php

I saw a fabulous example of guerilla knitting a few years back in Jubilee Park (I live in Annandale). It was draped gently around a park bench. I am really enjoying your blog.
The stripey poles are the work of a certain local artist that works in Newtown. There are a few stripey poles around in Kings Cross & two on Wilford Street off Enmore Road. :)

There is also a guerilla knitted pole cover out the front of Samdhi Bliss Yoga on Lennos St. There is a photo on my blog. It been there a good month or so now.
...what's a 'bibbon,' Nosey?
I think you made that one up.
On the top o the Crumpetty Tree
The Quangle-Wangle sat,
But his face you could not see,
On account of his Beaver Hat.
For his Hat was a hundred and two feet wide,
With ribbons and bibbons on every side,
And bells, and buttons, and loops, and lace,
So that nobody ever could see the face
Of the Quangle Wangle Quee.
