| Kangaroo sculpture |
So the other day I got the chance to go for a drive in the bush around Telfer with a coworker. He spends a lot of his time off camping and such in the area so he has a good rig for the job and knew the lay of the land. Anyway as we drove around for a couple of hours and stopped by an abandon mine site and a swimming hole for a quick dip. Driving around for the 4-5 hours saw a lot of country that looked like the area around Telfer and lots of cool mesas. The coolest thing by far though was the public art. There were like 4-5 sculptures just on the side of the road in middle of nowhere Western Australia. My favorite one was the kangaroo that I took a photo of that was on top of a big mesa. There was also a dragon, a person, and a few more that were either abstract or I couldn't figure out what they were. It was really cool to see that people had just built artwork out in the bush simply because. Most of the people driving by would probably be road train drivers going between Port Hedland and the mines out there. I wonder how many people actually see the sculptures and how much effort the artists went to to construct them?
Below are some pics of the abandon mine and swimming hole we stopped at as well. All in all a day well spent. Oh and it is the promised picture of a kangaroo!
