"Taronga Wild! Rhinos" is an art event that features a huge herd of wildly colourful rhino sculptures installed around Sydney in February. This mass public art exhibition helps raise awareness and valuable funds for Taronga Zoo’s Black Rhino breeding program and conservation projects. This rhino is located in Martin Place outside the studios of Channel 7, one of the sponsors. "Sunrise: Wake up with friends" was created by the crew of the breakfast show Sunrise and signed by the presenters.
Cute little fellow. I like the giraffe on his side!
ReplyDeleteOh, I love this rhino. We had the cow art installation here in SF a few years back but I really like the rhino. Thanks for bringing this to us.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great cause!
ReplyDeleteA worthy cause. Poaching is decimating their population. Thanks for contributing to this week's Monday Mural.
ReplyDeleteAn attention grabbing art work for a noble cause.

Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteI've seen Cows on Parade in Chicago many years ago. It's a terrific idea to create extra interest in your location. Take lots of pictures! Thanks for sharing this interesting blue.

ReplyDeletemuch love...
Not familiar with this and truly enjoyed your sharing with us.
ReplyDeleteAnother way to see the sun rise, I suppose!
ReplyDeleteLove the painted rhinos. I have visited cities that have done similar art with other animals. Visiting through Sally's Blue Monday, hope you can come by and visit. Blessings, Debbie
ReplyDeleteoh so cute! A bit like our "cow" parade down in the south west and around Cowaramup.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week and thanks for stopping by my blog today.
This isthmus is so neat. I have seen these done here in the states with butterflies, swans, and manatees. I love the wild rhino!
ReplyDeleteI love that kind of art work. We had bulls over here once.
