Dicks Do Hicks


Well, I have "Bush rangered"
The classic "Ned Kelly" Gang
From Sidney Nolan (1)

And stretched them with
The "Blue Poles" of Pollock (2)
To give the new Australian

Millennial Icon image:
David Hicks: Cuban
Blues!
Poles as the most ...

'unknown', 'unloved', “un-tried',
'un-guilty', “un-processed” and
“un-returned” “un-soldier” of “un-fortune”.

They hanged old Ned:
They’ve just plain
"Limbo'd poor young Dave".
