Statues

Sydney is full of statues, traditional, quirky and modern. Everywhere you look and sometimes in places where you might not expect statues appear.








This statue of Governor Bligh is next to Cadman's Cottage in Bligh and Barney Reserve and was unveiled in 1987 to "restore the proper image of a much maligned and gallant man".

On the back of the statue is a detailed description of William Bligh's life.

To me he looks like he looking out to the harbour as if he is expecting someone.
