      well for brisbane it is a bit cold. this fella is in warwick 2 hours west of here and it gets pretty darn chilly there so even the statues need a scarf:)

      hi fiona
      the council actually uses a cherry picker to get up and do this as it is part of the july festival in warwick. so much fun!

      hi becky
      we call it yarn bombing. there are groups of ladies who go around decorating trees and things illegally. what an adventure tho this particular statue is decorated by the council.
