The Wombat of Warrnambool

Backstory if you haven’t seen the delightful video. Artist decides to draw a wombat in pastel on the railway bridge by his house. Local graffiti removal guy thought it was so lovely that he sprayed it with a few coats of clearcoat to preserve it forever. Artist returns to clean off his chalk. A friendship is born with the (now) graffiti preservation officer.

Anyway – we were going past here anyway so I tracked down the art and here we are. The photo was taken by the artist’s next door neighbor, Claire, who came out to chat and we met a couple walking their dog who were also delighted with the attention. Everyone’s a winner.

We, alas, did not see the artist or his new buddy – nor did we spot a wombat on the road. We are still looking.
