Amid a discussion about big expensive public art pieces, a comment by new GCC executive member Estelle Sydney-Smith got us thinking - that we should have a statue of The Monster That Ate Canberra.

What a great sculpture piece that would be for out the front of the new Gungahlin library!

Michael Salmon's book on Alexander Bunyip going around eating up Canberra Icons has been a great contributor to getting Canberra kids reading.

And with the "double yum gigantic ice cream sundae" Telstra Tower almost visible in a straight line south of Gozzard Street (certainly visible from upstairs), the scene as Alexander devours the tower would give it some Gungahlin relevance.

With all the serious, obscure or controversial public art around lately, maybe a bit of fun would be great change?
