Who remembers? In July 1968, the outer western Sydney suburb of Glenfield made headlines around the world when it became the site of an unusual armed siege. It all began on 2 July when the local Liverpool police came to the house of 23-year old Wally Mellish to enquire after some stolen car parts and to deliver an arrest warrant for car theft. . Rather than answer the door to the local constabulary, he fired one of the guns from his ample stash and barricaded himself inside the house. Well Argy made history to, Mel Painter (Bottom end of Montgomery St) held a knife to his mothers throat, police were called & so Argy had Newcastles first siege. I knew Mel all my life & after that we always referred to him as Wally Melish
