Hot Tonto on Swan Terrace in Semaphore is an Aladdin’s Cave filled with an array of amazing recycled items, rockets, robots, ray guns and pop art, mixed with a wide range of collectable toys.

It is the world of Graham Shaw, who is also one of the growing team of volunteers of all backgrounds and ages at the new Semaphore Information Centre and Adelaide Eco Info Exchange.

Here’s Graham with a 1948 Chrysler which he made from a 1970′s Avon after shave bottle and some glass and plastic.

And there’s a bonus with this car: it still has the original after shave in it, and it still smells great!

A great present for Father’s Day.

David Hanisch saw the need for funky frames

Framed is a shop that’s long overdue on Semaphore Road, offering full optical services including bulk billed eye testing, funky spectacles, repairs and accessories.

With 28 years experience in in the optical industry in the city and at West Lakes, David  Hanisch realised that our district needed a shop with fashionable but affordable spectacle frames.

Near Military Road, at 59 Semaphore Road, Framed can be contacted by phone on 7225 2014 or by fax on 7225 2024.
