Alf has been squatting here for about 30 years with his wife & daughter. They live in a ramshackle corrugated iron house/shed. Some years ago the council decided that he couldn't live here, on what was once the "common" near the Lyndhurst railway station. After much deliberation they NOW charge him $1 a year for council rates!!!
Cornelius "Talc Alf" is a local character who uses cast off slabs of talc from the Mt Fitton talc mine to sculpt statements about politics, religion & his unusual theories about the evolution of language
Some of Alf's amazing sculptures
For a $5 donation, we have our own small "Talc Alf" sculpture. When you handle it makes your hands so lovely & soft
Talc Alf designed Aussie flag !!!
After a very interesting hour or so, we were finally let off the hook, when another load of tourist turned up. Witchwae leaving Talc Alf's
