Homicide episode 147 'The Gauntlet is Down', first screened 12 March 1968, includes a visit to The Wicker Whatnot.
From
The Age 26 November 1966 p. 22:
Here is the building today for what it's worth (not a lot, although it's arguably interesting that the building to its left, the fruit shop, had a completely open frontage sixty years ago which has since been remade as a right-hand door):
What really interests me is that presumably the Wicker Whatnot were up for this placement in
Homicide, reasoning that exposure on national tv was a plus, even if it was in a storyline that implied criminals worked there.
The shop was apparently only short-lived, at least, it only advertised in late 1967.
