Frank Wilkes was Leader of the Labor Opposition in Victoria from 1977 to 1981.
Graffiti appeared on a building near the St.Kilda upper Esplanade;
FRANK; THE GHOST WHO WILKES.
And in the same era, the movie The Invisible Man was to be on TV one night.
As the time for the movie to start approached, an announcement was made on screen;
that due to circumstances beyond our control, The Invisible Man wont be seen tonight.
Damn disappointing Id always wanted to see the invisible man.
The Red biplane in the movie does sightseeing tours around Magnetic island and I have been up in it. The wing overs , where he turns it upside down and dives for the water are a bit uncomfortable. Great experience, though.
