FOUR YEARS of trying to read these WW2 Army Engineer engravings

using things like water, light and chalk but nothing's worked so far.

​

Its hard to document it if I can't read it. Even people on our Facebook page - ABANDONED WESTERN AUSTRALIA

haven't been able to read much other than identify the famous big 'E' - a symbol of the engineers.

​

So today I'm going to use white poster paint to try and fill in the engravings

in order to document it. It is non-destructive and will wash off with water.

​

AND FOUR YEARS of trying to get someone to care, like historians, military, journos and council. 

​

(Still... gonna be hell nervy people looking at me from the busy Stirling Highway, Mosman Park road!!)

​

GOALS

1. Read these damn engravings once and for all in their entirety!

2. Close out this project (LEIGHTON BATTERY PROJECT > LEIGHTON BATTERY BUSH (SUB PROJECT)

3. Get people to see it!! (and care? mmm... now that's asking for a lot!)​
