Academy award winning sculptor John Cox has teamed up with a group of talented Australian artists to create 21 wonderfully decorated koala sculptures that are positioned in various locations around the Gold Coast. The "Animals with Attitude - Gold Coast Sculpture Trail" is designed to raise public awareness of the endangered and much loved koala. Corporate sponsorship has lead to the creation of each koala and then in early May the koalas are going to be auctioned off with the money raised going to support the Currumbin Wildlife Hospital which is located on the Gold Coast.
So over my stay at the Gold Coast I've had lots of fun chasing down these wonderful sculptures. I didn't have a chance to get to them all but I think 17 out of the possible 21 is a pretty good attempt. Each one of the koalas has also been given a name which I'll add under each photo.
