“The White Flower” is a contemporary artwork in Hunter Park at Balmoral, in the north shore suburb of Mosman. It was created by Christopher Hodges in 2009 and is a focal point in the park.
I am sure that if these zebras could think they’d be wondering as much about the “mad joggers” who pound along the walkway between Bondi and Tamarama bright and early every morning.
This year there was a bit of fierce letter-writing to the Sydney Morning Herald about the mowing down of sculpture-viewers by joggers who feel “ownership” of the path and let no-one get in their way.
Back to the zebras….according to Wikipedia: “
In 2010, Canberra artists Alan and Julie Aston installed a herd of zebras on Lake George, adjacent to the highway stop commemorating Kevin “Dasher” Wheatley VC, used as a “Driver Reviver” site. They were named Stopper, Reviver, Survivor, and Dasher. They were a sensation, but the Government of New South Wales ordered that they be removed, following a complaint from the leaseholder of the land. They reappeared at Floriade, Canberra in September 2010, along with a baby, George. And now they’ve visited Bondi!
