Iconic flying saucer in mothballs – 12/12/2008

Whatever happened to the “space ship” that once stood at the entrance to Willeton’s Burren Dah estate?

willetonfuturo - Examiner 2008 12 12Originally acting as a sales office for the estate, it later served as the subdivision’s entry statement.

It featured on a Jebediah album cover, and in its later days was said to be the site of some late night teenage parties.

When I tracked it down in 2008 it was lying in bits in someone’s backyard. The site’s then occupant, Dennis Jensen MHR, claimed no knowledge of its whereabouts.
