This is one of the life-size caricatures located in a narrow laneway known as Suez Canal, at The Rocks. Constructed in the late 19th century, this laneway runs between George Street and Harrington Street, with the name supposedly a pun on "sewers canal". These backlit sculptures glow at night and depict the people who frequented the area in the late 19th century who were involved in prostitution, slavery and opium.

ReplyDeleteInteresting! I love how they look at night. Although a bit ominous!
ReplyDeleteThat would be cool to see them at night.
ReplyDeleteUnusual thing to commemorate. Sounds like it would be interesting.
