BIG Acorn Playground

Isn't this playground exquisite?!!! Interactive playgrounds in the guise of larger than life objects are becoming more common in Australia in the last few years. We've seen it in Yunderup, WA with their giant piggy and we've seen it in Craigieburn, Victoria with their Golden Sun Moth. This playground is the child of Benjamin Gilbert a.k.a Agency of Sculpture and Simone Bliss dating way back to 2013. It's located at the National Arboretum Canberra and I was lucky enough to go on an extremely cold day so I only had to avoid photographing one child. Locating this sculpture isn't hard. It's BIG and stands out really well. Good luck fellow adventurer!

Canberra CBD - Dean Bowen

Titled ''The Big Little Man'' (1999) by Dean Bowen. The plaque states this is 1/3. There's a brother statue in Melbourne and I'm unsure where the third sculpture is. I visited a winery in Red Hill in 2018 that had Dean Bowens ' Lady with Flowers.'' Mr Bowen has a further 5 or so charaters I'm yet to collect including ' The Farmer,' 'Airoplane Boy,' 'Man Waving,' 'The child,' & 'Girl with Birds' 📍 Near the Canberra Carousel

Goodbye Sydney!

Our posting orders are in and it's official, we're moving states! I have 6 weeks to plan this mammoth road trip!! I'd like to collect as much Street Art, Public Art, Monuments and BIG Things as I can on the way WHILE completing the rest of my Sydney Art Map which is only 2/3 complete. Between work and packing this doesn't leave me much time so I'll be taking a break from posting until I've reached the new destination. I leave Sydney on the 20th of Feb. I don't know how long my art adventure will be until a rough draught is complete but I expect somewhere between 5-10 weeks. Once settled I'll have a full three years to update this blog with what I hope will be an epic road trip and an arsenal of older posts that have have yet to be posted. I look forward to returning in 2023
