Big Ben

Ben Chifley, that is, son of a blacksmith who became Australias 16th Prime Minister during the 1940s and whose Government is remembered for the post war immigration scheme, Australian citizenship and the Snowy Mountains Scheme, a hydro-electricity scheme and the largest engineering project undertaken in the country.

I went past this sculpture cur-out in Chifley Square over the weekend. It looks like one of those temporary exhibits that Clover likes putting up around her village.
