Recycled Bronze - A Photographic Skating Retrospective

We did not realise how dedicated Melbourne is to Skating until we saw these Bronzes just near the "Bridge Too Flat"

This one has the inscription "Passing on the skill - Dropping in"


This one has the inscription "Olympic Mongo - 1956" Note how the chrome slalom cone compliments bronze.


The statue depicts Batman performing the famous 'Colonial Drop-in' performed off the bow of the schooner 'rebecca' into the waters of port phillip bay in 1835.


These statues are everywhere!
So get your imaginations going!
