Amazing Gifts from Bimbo by Adelaide and Australian Artists
We love hearing people tell us their stories about Bimbo and want to hear more stories about Chris, Carol or the good old days. Throughout its 35-year history, Bimbo has sold some really amazing pieces of artwork designed and constructed by local South Australian and Australian artists.
Peter Day
Peter Day sent us in this awesome photo of a wire sculpture he bought from Bimbo in the late 80’s. He saw this piece when he was walking home one night from the Ex and decided he just had to have it. It now sits proudly in the entrance to his home and is one of the first things people see when they walk in. This wire artist had work featured in Bimbo throughout the 80’s but we can’t remember his name. If you have any idea, seriously, drop us a line.

Tony Kellie
Tony Kellie bought this original wooden stool by local Adelaide artist Robin Turner. Robin created amazing sculptures
from recycled native timbers. This one of a kind piece has become even better with age and is still one of Tony’s favourite purchases from Bimbo today. With the passing of Robin Turner a few years ago these pieces are now a tribute to an amazing Adelaide artist, who will be sorely missed by the art community and his fans.

Your Favourite Gift From Bimbo
Last Friday Tony Kellie was sitting with a group of mates at the Exeter Hotel in Rundle Street East, surprise, surprise they were discussing old times. One of the things that came up was the changing face of Rundle Street. It was noted that the two main-stayers were our host The Exeter and Bimbo Gift Shop down the street. Bimbo started life as East End Imports 35 years ago about the same time the Ex was transformed into The “cool” pub.
In the group was Peter Day, Tony Kellie, Simon Hackett and various others who are all long-term Exeter and Bimbo Customers.
Peter Day
Pete started with a great story, about how he had bought a bloody big wooden Balinese statue (of a Duck), with a revolving head that stood close to a metre tall! He bought it to get back into the good books with his then wife who subsequently split and took the duck.
Simon Hackett
Simon Hackett’s favourite gift is a red kids chair in the shape of a hand which he gave to his granddaughter, who loves to sit in it and now her Dad, (his Son-In-Law) has now taken to repose in, all 6ft 3 inches of him.
Simon Hackett loves this red hand chair he bought from Bimbo many years ago.
Bimbo’s Owner Carol
On the way home the guys walked past Bimbo and dropped in to say G’day to CB alias Carol Bayer the proprietor and asked her what were some of her all-time favourite gifts. She said immediately said the artist -wire working welder who did some great stuff his sculptural wire stool which Cb still uses behind the counter to this day is featured below .
