Looking for Signs

Lyttelton, March 2008 Ajr

You don't have to go far in Lyttelton to find evidence of a quirky sense of humour. The Wunderbar - a Lyttelton social institution - is notorious for it. Along with the skantily draped mannequin torso swinging above the exterior staircase, you'll find interior lampshades topped with dolls' heads, walls of crushed velvet and all manner of other kitsch amusements - which no doubt seem funnier with every glass of ale.
