It would be a bit of a marketing fail to open a brothel in the area wouldn't it.  ...or conversely is that how the area got it's name originally. 

Along similar lines, there is the locally based business 'Cockburn Cement' - an early version of viagra for when you've had a big night on the nest, but just need to keep powering on! ...perhaps?

Conversely, The Daily Planet (an award winning brothel in Elsternwick Victoria) is located in Horne St.

I know of the daily plannet, but not as far as knowing what street it is on!

A mate of mine did use to live in a street in the Croydon area which is "The Nook" - there is a brothel on that street too.

I was looking after a mates car while he was in Europe for 6 months and after about 8 weeks it broke down right outside The Planet. I just left it there till my friend came back. It was a very recognizable car and when he returned from OS  a lot of people who didn't know he had  gone, questioned him about how much time he was spending at the Planet. He wasn't very happy.

Do they still have a bar over in Perth called The Bog?

I believe so. 

Used to frequent there back in the late 90’s. Got kicked out of the aptly named place just as much too.

Gee, to my amazement I have found very many unsavoury type characters on Demonland. This is the kind of  site my mum told me not to visit.

My mum never understood that it's not a binary world, DC, hence her advice. Anyway, it's the duty of everyone to forge their own way in the world, in other words, not to listen to their mothers. I met a bloke on Friday, for example, who said his deal old mum told him to never trust a Chinaman. Just for example...

Early 20’s and cashed up doing FIFO. Probably 80% of their clientele.

It certainly is a binary world:  Demon supporters, and 'others'!

I have no idea what your first paragraph is about but entirely agree with the second.

Not sure her advice was too far off the mark.

The Bog is long gone McQueen would be closed around 15 years. The redevelopment of Northbridge with apartments and new late night bars killed it off. Just sits there on Newcastle St vacant now.

On the subject of Jesse Watch, from the bigfooty Freo pre-season training thread...

On the sidelines, boom recruit Hogan continued individual skills, running and repeat-effort work in his comeback from a navicular stress fracture.

 "Jesse's going good. He's started being drip-fed into drills in the last couple of days and he will look to be in full training in the coming weeks," Fyfe said.

(Later reports have him on track for round 1.)

The freehold land on which the Daily Planet is located was sold last year. I have a feeling that the award winning brothel is soon going to go the way of the Gatwick.

No. I am actually serious. There was a huge Roman Bath in there that lasted until around the mid 90’s. 

I went there a few times after a night shift. 

It was brilliant!!

    UP IN LIGHTS by Whispering Jack

    Those who watched the 2024 Marsh AFL National Championships closely this year would not be particularly surprised that Melbourne selected Victoria Country pair Harvey Langford and Xavier Lindsay on the first night of the AFL National Draft. The two left-footed midfielders are as different as chalk and cheese but they had similar impacts in their Coates Talent League teams and in the National Championships in 2024. Their interstate side was edged out at the very end of the tournament for tea

    The Demons’ aggressive small forward who kicks goals and defends the Demons’ ball in the forward arc. When he’s on song, he’s unstoppable but he did blot his copybook with a three week suspension in the final round.
