In the grounds of the historic Bendemeer Hotel this old statue of “Speak No Evil, See No Evil, Hear No Evil” caught my eye. The concrete frogs dressed in the Australian colours of green and gold gave the tradition monkey image an Australian twist. How fitting for a pub that has served and entertained the public since 1864.
They are really quite spooky, like something out of a 1950s B-picture. I wonder if children were ever frightened of them. Excellent photograph…shows the textured weathering very well.
Thank you. I wish I knew how old they were.
Interesting
What an interesting sculpture and fun!
I agree!
:love the frogs!
They are cute.
