You could be forgiven for thinking you have just stepped into an Alfred Hitchcock movie -
remember ..... "The Birds"?
What Is It?
This is actually part of the Scar Project which is located at Enterprize Park. Indigenous people would traditionally take pieces of bark from some trees to make canoes, shields or baby cradles and these 'scar trees' would serve as a signpost for other clans to let them know they had entered the land of another community. The "Scar Project" is representative of these scar trees and was constructed by Indigenous artists who used original wharf poles from Queens Bridge.

I remember that movie. Scary!!!
Excellent shot. MB
Thank you for your kind comments. Like your image very much. Well done!
Have a nice weekend.
What an awesome shot. I remember the Birds. I think they should make a remake of it, with the technology they have no, I think it would be cool.
Intriguing sculptures! I have not seen them yet in Melbourne! School holidays are coming! They're on the list! A great perspective in this photo!
Thanks for that fascinating commentary and I really like this sculpture...especially the way the lines curve up as if the birds were taking flight...
great imagery and perspective. I can hear the Alfred Hitchcock music now
Great idea, great sculpture.
...and I like this angle you shot it from... and the light.
fascinating forms!
Very informative. We had not heard of this tradition when we visited Australia.
There seemed to be some parts of the Outback where there would not be a lot of trees of sufficient size to scar.
on, my...this is a wonderful post. i loved learning about the Scar Project and the history of it. the birds are lovely and you capture so nice. i like the idea of the use of the post. nice work.
Very cool pelicans! Great work.
These are beautiful pieces of work well captured and thanks for the little history lesson...have a good weekend or what's left of it.
This is the first I've ever heard of 'scar trees." Fascinating. And I really like the birds...even if it does remind me of the movie. :))
Cool shot...the silhouette of the black and white really makes it work!!!
Curious...where did you find your flag translator???
I think The Birds was actually one of the scariest movies I've ever seen! Your photo does kind of remind me of it :-D
I like your image.
