The big crab at Cardwell, Q'land.
Don't know what these represent, there was no sign to say.
These are 'what' I don't know, they over look the sea and part of Hinchinbrook Island.
The Telegraph and Post Office building was built in 1870. It operated as a Post Office until 1982 and the building is a Heritage Centre these days.
i enjoyed your unknown things dear.second represents snowman i think and third seems like candles
ReplyDeleteHave no idea what they mean :)
DeleteThe first looks delicious. The second looks like some sort of ancient ritual figures. The third looks like a set of toothpicks.
ReplyDeletelol... good imagination John...if only we knew what they were.
DeleteWell, they are all certainly different things ...and all great photo's!
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas and Happy New Year to you too ...
Have a great week
All the best Jan
Thanks Jan - and the same to you.
DeleteYeah many times while traveling we have seen things that look good we take a photo of them but why they are there and what the represent is anyone's idea as there are no signs which can be somewhat annoying at times
ReplyDeleteMostly there are signs, but not that time Jo-Anne, and it is annoying.
DeleteSomehow it's the bird sitting on the giant crab that caught my attention. Love it!
ReplyDeleteI reckon there is almost always a bird on that crab! looking at the view.
DeleteVery different things. Intriguing things.
ReplyDeleteWhen Lee comes by I am guessing that she will know (or find out) what they are.
I think they are been places there recently that's why no sign...Lee might know if she comes this way.
Deletewow what a great crab
ReplyDeleteIt's a beauty and can't be missed if looking in the right direction - up -
DeleteThat is a huge crab
ReplyDeleteIt is Adam and another big 'thing'.
DeleteWow! You found us something out there. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteYes I did :)
DeleteVery curious sculptures. The first appear to have an Aboriginal connection. Goodness what the second lot are supposed to be, but I quite like them.
ReplyDeleteThey are different and would represent something aboriginal I expect.
DeleteLast time... a giant mango... and now a giant crab! Hee hee!
ReplyDeleteOh yes, and another big thing to come :) You would know what that is for sure.
Deletevery interesting pieces! I love it!
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteI like those pieces, the figurines especially, they could be Aboriginal but they're not done in dot painting style so maybe they aren't. The sharpened sticks is an unusual sight.
ReplyDeleteI suppose they are Aboriginal but certainly no dots...those sharp sticks might have something to do with shadows, just a guess.
DeleteI love the crab, but, it would be better in the sea. Those statues are somewhere else Margaret.
ReplyDeleteOh are they - I wonder where else they are then!
DeleteWhat a wonderful red crab - the first thing that came to mind when I saw the three 'lollipop' figures was the colouring and patterning which reminded me of Aboriginal art.
ReplyDeleteThey do look a type of Aboriginal art, however their art always has dots, never seen their art without dots...they will have to keep us guessing.
DeleteI've seen Jalapeno on a Stick...now I've seen sticks on a stick
ReplyDeletelol..will always wonder what they are.
DeleteDifferent set of photos. Enjoyed it...
ReplyDeleteThanks.
DeleteLovely sculptures. It's always nice to see something like these in a trip.
ReplyDeleteYes it is good to see something different, if only knew what they were.
DeleteThey are interesting, the images and especially, the of the giant crab.
ReplyDeleteKisses
Different.
DeleteHa ha - amusing figures.
ReplyDeleteOnly the crab makes any sense.
The ginger bread like thingies - look like small Canadian Totem poles.
As for the sticks, maybe someone has a sense of glorious humour, like
"OK come and sit on this!!!"
I sure can think of some politicans, and now with my move some "unbelievably
rude and unhelpful bureaucrats" who I would love to jam down on those pointy
poles!
Great report.
Someone in Cardwell I think is making few SHARP POINTS!
Colin
Yes the crab makes a lot of sense compared to the other two 'things' Colin.
DeleteI have just written to someone at Cardwell regarding those figures..
DeleteYou are seeing interesting sights.
ReplyDeleteYes we did see many wonderful views and 'things' in our winter just gone.
DeleteBoa tarde, excelentes fotos decorativas urbanas, quem as criou, imaginou bem o belo efeito criado.
ReplyDeleteContinuação de boa semana,
AG
Thank you..
DeleteThat crab is a hoot. Hope no birds land on those posts:)
ReplyDeleteAnd happy holidays to you:)
The birds will make rather a mess if they do :)
DeleteCrab is nice, but we should not catch a crab.The other two are design displays.Beautiful clicks.
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeletePlenty of crabs where I went.
quite a crab!
ReplyDeleteA beauty.
DeleteThe motel I managed was diagonally across the highway from "Muddies Restaurant"...as it was then known....with the large mud crab outside tempting people to stop in.
ReplyDeleteIt was a good restaurant, too...top food. I'd sometimes sneak across at night...and sit on the verandah to have a couple of drinks with the owners/chef. I could see my reception office and entrance to the motel from there, so it took me no time if anyone pulled into the property to book into the motel!!! :)
Taking a second look at your crab photo...it looks like the crab is now situated at a different spot. The Seaview Cafe, as I knew it when I lived in Cardwell and also when I managed the resort on the island, was further down in the middle of Cardwell. It used to be where the buses pulled in. Perhaps the layout etc., has all changed since Yasi. And perhaps Muddies, as it was and where it was situated is no longer.
DeleteLee, from memory that crab was in a different place when we visited Cardwell last time some years ago now.
DeleteI remember from our trip last time that a Tasmanian man owned the Newsagency!
