I can’t help but think of cast-offs in the street.

And this one, on Premier Lane in Darlinghurst, had me particularly intrigued. What would I find inside: mouldy food, treasure, a body?

None of the above as it turned out. Just a musty box, painted aquamarine inside, and an old TV.

I’m still thinking, though. Only days before it might have boxed up old photos, early ’90s CDs and books, maybe for years.
