| Milkcrates are all over the internet these days, and I’ve been seeing hits on my crate radar from every corner of the web. The above picture is from Australia, we’ve seen some of these before, but 12ozprophet.com’s forums have a nice little gallery of the lot.
Something called crookedbrains.com has a great post with all kinds of crate creations. –> How creative can you get with crates One of my favorite sites, makezine has recently posted a milkcrate post as well. –> Milkcrate chandelier and roundup |

| I just can’t say enough about the Australian people’s love of milkcrates. Once again, in Melbourne, they have upped the ante with an impromptu outdoor milkcrate cafe. To hell with Starbucks, this is the future. –> Milk Crate Cafe |
| By far the Australians live the milkcrate lifestyle most freely. Once again from down under a large public milkcrate sculpture, in the form of a man has appeared. via Melbourne In Photos.blogspot.com Post here–> Milk Crate Man |
The milkcrate news has been slow in these dog days of Summer. But, once again the Australian people have come to the table with something pushing the milkcrate lifestyle forward. Milk Crate Theater is a “solely dedicated to the homeless and disadvantaged community”. Click the photo above for more pics of their work in action.
Once again the Australians are on the crate cutting edge. This sitting crate man (click the photo, for towo larger shots) was placed in a very busy intersection in Bendigo, Australia. It was only there for a few hours, but made quite a stir. Read the full story.
Outside of Melbourne the crateman is back and better than ever. 150+ crates strong. Click the image to see more views.
Woman charged with beating girl with crate
A WOMAN has been charged after a five-year-old girl was woken in the middle of the night and beaten with a milk crate at a community north of Katherine.
The incident happened early on Tueasday morning at the Kalan Community when an argument broke out between a woman and her husband, police said.
The woman became enraged and allegedly picked up a milk crate before grabbing the sleeping child by her hair and dragging her across the floor.
She then allegedly beat the child with the crate on the back and face before taking her outside and shaking her, police said.
Australia continues to be on the bleeding edge of milkcrate lifestyle. The Design Computing and Architecture disciplines at the University of Sydney (wow that’s a big name) just sent over this project – “petro cow project” – that they are undertaking. A merging of sociology, architecture, and milkcrates - what could be sweeter.

I got an email this week from me Tim Quirey, the author of “Cr(e)ate” which is a book of photography of milkcrates all over the world. His work took him to Morocco, New Zealand, London, Paris, Barcelona, Brisbane, Sydney, Melbourne, and Canberra. I’m so siked this has been done, and I hope to feature Tim in the future. Support the crate love everywhere!
