I have passed these statues many times, and today I stopped and took a few photos.
Tom Offermann happened to be outside his offices and I asked him about the statues. He saw a statue in Melbourne ‘Three Businessmen Who Brought Their Lunch. Batman, Swanston & Hoddle’ and was so impressed with the artwork that he commissioned the artists to create ‘Cook and Banks’ who were Noosa Heads’ first privately funded civic art pieces.
Tom said that the sculptures are his contribution to Noosa Civic Art.
The names (courtesy of artists Paul Quinn and Alison Weaver) are a tribute to Captain James Cook and Sir Joseph Banks, who actually never set foot in Noosa.
1770: Captain Cook sailed past, admiring the rainbow hued sand cliffs of the Noosa North Shore. Cook (and Matthew Flinders in 1802) failed to detect the mouth of the Noosa River but noted that Laguna Bay was “an open sandy bay” and a “bight in the coast”…Noosa Library Timeline.
The figures were moulded in clay, cast in plaster and finally in bronze. This is known as the ‘lost wax’ method of casting.
The two pieces have an ‘other world’ feel to them, with long spindly limbs, bulging eyes and surprised expressions on their faces. There is a serious colonial edge with their black trousers, but a Noosa feel in the aqua coloured shirts the pair are wearing.
The January 1997 media release and news article are available here in the album ‘Noosa Cook and Banks Sculpture’.

I was out with some friends for a birthday party, saw this cook cooking and thought: "I THINK THIS MIGHT COME OUT GOOD IN B&W!". Well…here is the result. Tell me what you think!

I have not seen a soldier's grave marked COOK before, have you?
Isidore Kaufman was killed in action July 15, 1918, the first day of the last-gasp German offensive now called the 2nd Battle of the Marne, in the course of which Kaufmanâs 30th Infantry Division earned its nickname âRock of the Marne.â Today Cook Kaufman rests at Arlington National Cemetery, a few yards away from his commander, General of the Armies John J Pershing.
The cook and her family would have lived in this house, where they cooked all the meals for the main house, and the slaves.
The county has stored something in the middle of the cook room, and covered it with plastic sheeting.

The Turkey is cooked and ready to be eaten. Until I learn how to levitate, I use these forks to lift my turkey out of the pot. They do work pretty good!
SP 4449 leads the Cascade Daylight though several tunnels ease of Cooks, WA. It has taken the train a while to get going this morning, but they have had a clear railroad for their run east through the Columbia River Gorge.
After three years, I was fortunate enough to return to Tasmania, literally across the globe and 10 time zones; four flights were needed to get from winter Prague to early summer in Hobart.
Having relatives living in Australia and Tasmania, seeing old friends was easily combined with country exploration and adventurous trips, which is something we tried to pursue and use our 4-weeks time on the southern hemisphere to the maximum extent.
After a few lovely and relaxed family & acclimatization days in Hobart, time has come for us to leave the comfort of warm beds and friendly civilization, and to exchange it for a proper adventure comprised of hiking and travelling around the island.

The fame of Wineglass Bay, the most celebrated beach in Tasmania, ensures a growing stream of visitors to Freycinet National Park. It is one of the east coast’s poster destinations, and the sublime national park, which is a wild domain of sugar-white beaches, pinkish granite mountains and utterly transparent water, are the reasons everyone is here.
We kept Freycinet National Park for the last days of our Tasmania road trip, saving its beautiful beaches with some lovely walking to a very relaxed adventure we planned for the very end of our journey.
Aiming to beat the crowds, we planned to stay overnight for two days at the more remote Hazards Beach, where there is a reliable fresh water source and which is luckily free of day-trippers posing for selfies at Wineglass Bay, though it's almost equally appealing (and with more calm sea waters than Wineglass).
Yet again blessed with favourable sunny weather, we slowly wandered along the secluded western coast of the peninsula, enjoying its clear sea waters and sandy beaches for numerous swims and relaxed sunbathing.
Waffle House, Austin, TX
We sat at the counter right in front of the cook. Its always fun to watch a good short order cook that can balance and breeze through multiple orders. This gentleman seemed experienced and had several breakfast meals cooking at the same time. This image was taken outside the restaurant.

I love the illustrations in this little cook book so phamphlet so much. Sadly there is no illustrator credited.
