Nazi graffiti in Darlinghurst

3 comments

Swastikas with the words, “We’ll be back,” have been chalked at the corner of Bourke Street and Liverpool Street, at the corner of Farrell Avenue and Kirketon Place, and at Forbes Street and Liverpool Street.

These shots were taken by one of our readers. The bottle shop on Farrell Avenue and Darlinghurst Road is reportedly checking its CCTV for clues.

  1. Not nice. I wonder if it’s been spurred on by the current Gaza conflict?

    This “reversed Swastika” can be found in numerous places:
    The Nydam Bog (look at the bottom of the page): http://wapedia.mobi/en/Nydam_Mose
    A buddhist temple: http://wapedia.mobi/en/File:Buddhistswastika.jpg
    The flag of the city Hirosaki, in Japan: http://wapedia.mobi/en/Hirosaki,_Aomori

    So we could be facing a very angry Danish from the year 200AD, a peaceful buddhist monk, a Japanese backpacker eager to come back to Oz… or an angry (and probably drunk) kid that doesn’t even know what he’s talking about. Place your bets ;-)
