If you can get to Footscray West well before 5pm you might like to visit two birds with one trip by touring Melbourne Museum Of Printing http://mmop.org.au/about/contact.htm which should be open from 2-5pm today. Even if the curator is in, the door will be locked so you'll have to ring 0407330602. (I'd do it before embarking too actually, to make sure it will be open.)
My fav article on MMOP and it's curator is at http://www.dumbofeather.com/conversation/michael-isaachsen-is-a-collector/ , especially because the lamps in the last photo look like thought bubbles going up to the last quotation from Michael. Since that article, things are even worse for MMOP. There is little if any other volunteer effort, the rent is behind and the landlord could evict at anytime. So in a few months the collection might be busted up, and some scrapped for the metal. Or it may be still slowly drifting closer to the waterfall.
