The statues are amazingly life like. Wonderful that kids are using their talents to entertain others. Thanks for always sharing your country with us. I do enjoy your posts.

Thanks for the kind words. I'm seeing more and more of these metal statues in various towns, even smaller ones.

Those are well made statues. I would love to stroll and learn history like this. It always a great experience and not to mention educational as well.

@JudyEv true, it's easier than reading. Kids will remember better too as they're much more entertaining.

It is easier to enjoy history when it's put forward in this way - with statues, etc.

The whalers would go off for months and it would have been a very hard life for them too - hunting whales in open boats.

Good job Oz is a major mining country, since much of the metal seems to end up in the towns.
