Bird Sculptures, mostly

I had a bit of fun writing the toilet post but I'm sick of it now so I thought I'd show you the rest of the photos from my Silo Art Tour. 



Gunnedah water tower art & museum






Dunedoo Lions Park

 White Faced Heron





Black Swan 

the Wiradjuri name is Dhundhu






Laughing Kookaburra

Wiradjuri name - Gugubarra







Barn Owl

Ngugug






Wedge Tailed Eagle

Maliyan




And Ms Wedgie from a different angle





Not a bird at all

  1. Wow, the sculptures are fantastic. I may have said it before but it is good to see public art in NSW that I've not seen and probably won't.

    1. I loved the sculptures so much I stood in the rain to look at them all.
      I'm glad you like seeing it :)

  2. I like the way you always give respectful nods to indigenous cultures and their languages.

    1. Thank you. I wouldn't think of it if I wasn't following the lead of the interpretive sign

  3. Wonderful sculptures! I wonder how the barn owl name is pronounced in the Wiradjuri language?

    1. Well, I found the pronounciation for Ngugi, so I think I can assume from there. The internet is awesome.

    3. Quite a number of comments went to spam and I would have missed them completely except I went looking for one that seemed to disappear.
      I will have to find the pronounciation of Ngugi because I don't know it and yes, whatever did we do before the internet?

  4. Those are very inventive bird sculptures, I'd love one! - Certainly worth a trip to see them.
