What do you think this might be?

You might be wondering what the photo depicts. It’s the back of a park bench which we saw in Dowerin, Western Australia. I’ve shown just the back so you can more easily see the various bits and pieces that have been used to create the bench. I’ll put a photo of the whole bench in one of the comments. The ‘legs’ of the bench are actually strong springs from a plough so the bench moves gently when you sit on it. Just for starters, here are some of the components you can see: wrench, spanners, bolt cutter, door handle, nuts, bolts, clamps, handsaw, hand-drill, footplate, cogs. Maybe you can add more. And don’t forget to look for the parrots and cockatoos incorporated into the design. I’m not sure of the significance of the yellow awareness ribbons, as it has several meanings. I think in this case it might be to do with suicide prevention. Suicide isn’t uncommon in country areas as farmers and others struggle. We saw a number of blue trees (trees painted blue) in our travels too.
