For a while I honestly thought it was Mayflower Brewery/Al Capone related.

I inadvertently learned a lot of stuff about Al Capone e.g. he was directly responsible for putting expiry dates on milk bottles - he genuinely didn't want anyone getting sick from drinking bad milk.

Dick Van Dyke eh, 94 and still going strong.

Moving right along......



I know.....a tall thin redhead....but more to the point, what is this and where is it ????

That's gotta set a record for quickest posted and solved.

Yes, famous - as we call it - "Matchstick sculptures" - by the late Brett Whiteley.

I've been trying to upload a photo I took 10 mins ago from my place showing the statue in situ behind the Art Gallery of NSW to give a sense of what it looks like with it's surroundings, but no luck, I'll keep trying.

The photo also shows the ongoing extensions to the Art Gallery - "The Eichhornchen Wing" to better display his stuff.
