Sweet Wayfaring

This sculpture is a strange contrast to the other pieces, but the little girl I saw playing nearby sure liked these dogs.

This pack of dogs marauding the city pavement seems quite sinister.  They seem to be made out of fibre glass bandages.

Another piece of city sculpture not to be outdone by the real thing nearby.  It's a tribute from the aboriginal people of this area who had the land before it became a sheep paddock and later a city.

Makes me think of Mary Poppins.  She has been getting a bit of a run again this year with the release of the film "The Saving of Mr Banks".

These fanciful animals were drawn on a window pane ... you can see the buildings and trees reflected in the unpainted portion of the glass.

I remember the arrival of this merry-go-round back in 1974.  It was an old one from Melbourne that was restored and has been pleasing young families ever since.

There was no explanatory sign but given that sheep is sitting in a squatters chair I think it is saying something about squatters . Perhaps also about the fact that the location of this city was just a sheep paddock 100 years ago.
