A Question for West Australians

Do you recognise this sculpture? I took this photo in 2006 in Bunbury but forgot to take notes. I am interested to know the name of the artwork, who created it and when. I have tried google but he doesn’t have a clue either.

Here's a site with some info on it.

And this site doesn't have more info, but does have a closer up picture.

Who goes to Bunbury?

Just kidding, we do occasionally. I don't know much more than the link shared by shilgia, but we did go to the Rose Hotel often, for the fab old-fashioned pub meals including a side plate with bread and butter. Sadly no longer served.

I used to go to Bunbury for family holidays, and we used to lie on the beach like that (the back beach to be more specific). Dad went to high school there, so I imagine that's why we went back. Often the holidays involved visiting the high school anyway. I learnt to swim by myself in the pool at one of the motels.

(Sorry, in a bit of a reminiscing mood right now)

Thank you Shilgia, I often wondered what it was called!
Thank you to Wombatrois, I enjoyed your memories of the place along with the pub meals. Bread and butter on the side plate brings back memories of my childhood. No matter what the choice of food, we always had bread and butter to go with it!
