Originally reported to have been found beside his body by the river, Dr Bogle's artwork was actually located later in the back of his car, a green Ford Prefect, left behind at the Outer lot at Lane Cove.

'OZ was cheeky. In June, after the high-profile deaths of Margaret Chandler and Dr Gilbert Bogle, the editors weighed in. The bodies of the couple had been found in a park after a barbecue [sic] and the case, which has never been solved, scandalised Sydney. OZ ran a cover picture of the party hosts with the line: "Apart from that, it was a good party".' www.adelaidenow.com.au/news/the-sum-of-oz-magazine/story-e6frea6u-1226601727804 |

Oz Magazine covers .. I so want to buy all of these, if I ever win the lottery it's my first purchase! www.mojofineart.com/main/?c=sb-plugin-gocontacts&sb-plugin-gocontacts_task=view_by_category&parent_id=606London OZ Magazine (January 1967 - November 1973)
OZ was first published as a satirical humour magazine between 1963–69 in Sydney, Australia and, in its second and more famous incarnation, became a "psychedelic hippy" magazine from 1967 to 1973 in London. Strongly identified as part of the underground press, it was the subject of two celebrated obscenity trials, one in Australia in 1964 and the other in the UK in 1971. On both occasions the magazine's editors were acquitted on appeal after initially being found guilty and sentenced to harsh jail terms.
The central editor throughout the magazine's life was Richard Neville. Co-editors of the Sydney version were Richard Walsh and Martin Sharp/Art Director. Co-editors of the London version were Jim Anderson and, later, Felix Dennis.
In search of Australian editions .. |

Spent an hour googling about for the third (I think) issue of the AUS Oz yesterday, with its Ken and Ruth Nash cover and the "Apart from that, it was a good party" slogan. No dice.
Would look great on a T-shirt, what?

comparing Margaret Chandler, whose best feature was said to be her beautiful white teeth, to Gib's Nash Gallery party drawing Gib had to have had her in mind when he did that drawing -- looks exactly like her, beyond just "beautiful white teeth" too. |

![]()  From BogleChandler.com:This is a black and white representation of Bogle's party picture. The original is in pencil and crayon on an opened manilla folder, the basic outline being in deep green, with light blue eyes, dark brown eyebrows and deep red lips, and the lines leading off from the foot being in rainbow colours.
The bright colours and odd nature of the drawing inspired speculation that Bogle might have used LSD, and that the couple could have died from an overdose of the drug. The original drawing is still kept by the NSW coroner.
The signature "Beaugaulle" is presumably a double joke -- both a pun on Bogle's name and a joking reference to Ken Nash, by way of an oblique reference to the 18th century English socialite Beau Nash.

Macquarie Street = medicos so Doc Rudd a safe bet. Because of the proliferation of medical chambers and surgeries, and the presence of a number of medical professional institutions, Macquarie Street was widely known as the Harley Street of Sydney from the late 19th century until recent decades.Macquarie Street, Sydney |
