Art in the park

Art in the park
In Fotheringham Park, near the Manning River in Taree, New South Wales, Australia.

I contacted a local Art Gallery and they said that these sculptures have been in the park for many years, and it is believed that they are the work of a local Biripi artist Russell Saunders, with the help of students from Taree High School.

Saturday challenge Fountain. I think it used to be a fountain, still investigating its history. Water shortage is a problem in this area so may have been turned off for years.

kind of aboriginal art?

The artist, apparently, is from the oldest indigenous fishing family, in this area for many generations.

It certainly looks as if it may have been a fountain, but with water restrictions they do tend to be hard to find here - I can't think of any locally.

Hi George, yes difficult to find a fountain. There is a great fountain in Sydney's Hyde Park, but that's quite a drive...

That's quite a psychedelic fountain! And I agree with you, it does look like it was a fountian at one time.
