AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Why must it be so?
Winged elephant by the road
Some jumbo jet sign?

Comments:
This large speciman appeared over the last few days at the front of a horse stud property at Arthurs Seat. There is no explanation except that some strange black and white plackards of birds are hanging from trees too and one is on the grass!
It is visible near the main Arthurs Seat road.
Is there any connection with the upcoming Spring racing carnival?
Any suggestions/explanations are most welcome!

I haven't been around to tohers yet--just starting. But I have a feeling that, if we had an oddest award for Odd Shots, it would be yours today.
