Statuesque Talks Flash Novel Night in Sydney Streets
In a vivid tale voiced by a narrator, two statues at the Lands Office in Bridge Street descend and stroll the city at 2 a.m. They discuss politics and figures from Australian history, including Sir John Robertson and James Squire Farnell, while recalling Reform Club days and ministers like Dibbs and Lyne. The scene blends satire with pointed reminiscence of Australia's early federal era.
