It's been two years since I was at the church at cook's creek. I had to go again today, for no other reason than to HDR the interior.
In the gardens of Cooks' Cottage, Fitzroy Gardens, Melbourne. Repost in B&W September 2020.
The sculptor was Marc Clark, who was born in London, England in 1923. In 1973 Clark was commissioned to create this statue, which was for the garden of the show house of the Endeavour Hills housing estate, in a suburb south east of Melbourne.
When the show house was sold it was moved to another show house, but when this was sold to Doctor Sylvia Smith, an English medical practitioner, it was considered to be too expensive to move it again, and so it remained in her garden.
In 1996 the owner of the statue was Dr Mark Hassed, an Endeavour Hills dentist, who tried to sell it, first privately, then by auction, but it seems nobody wanted the statue. It was then gifted to the City of Melbourne in 1996, and accepted by the Melbourne Open Air Sculpture Museum Trust.
In 1997, a place was found for the statue in the grounds of Cook’s Cottage in Fitzroy Park, Melbourne.

A welcoming sign in the gift shop in Cook. I guess the 7 residents of Cook get a shock when the tourists rock up!
