Day 169I cycled into town to take my Birkenstock shoes to be resoled as I have walked the heels right off since I started this exercise caper! This is one of the city public sculptures. Canberra is often referred to as just an old sheep paddock. James Ainslie was one of the early sheep station owners. He was said to be a bit of a dandy, fond of embroidered waistcoats, one of which was stolen by a bushranger. So, here we have a sheep easing himself in a traditional 'squatter's' chair which has two extended arms to stretch your legs out on. 12 km cycle

What a strange sculpture, but well, that's life. I don't know what it symbolises in Canberra! You seem to have got the essence of that sheep character rather well!

What quirky sculptures you've found. Great perspective in this drawing.
How Funny! I wondered what the heck this was all about! Great drawing!!!
Wonderful drawing and funny sculpture! I thought maybe it was in front of the Berkinstock store, the way the sheep has his feet up in the air, resting them as if they were tired.
