So, the other day I went on an adventure to find the place where my father killed himself..
This is where my adventures led. A tiny little outhouse behind a real estate agents office in Ardross. It wasn't a shock. I mean, I was told since I was a kid that he died in a toilet (although I was initially told that he "accidentally took too much medicine and fell and bumped his head on the door").
On the whole it was a much more disturbing experience than I had expected. It probably wouldn't have been so traumatic if it hadn't have been the middle of the day with people around watching me trespassing into a dodgy toilet block. There was even someone in the adjoining cubicle so I had to run in, take the photo and run out. I was worried the people that work in the estate agents would yell at me.
I must admit, actually finding the place raised a lot more questions than it answered.
The main one, of course, being "why there?"
I asked my Boss about my question and he said "Why anywhere?" I though that was quite a good answer.
Kearns Cresent, Ardoss, right near the intersection of Risely St and Canning Hwy.
