Tumbarumba’s Danish Connection
The generous donation of three artworks for a new sculpture trail in our area, includes this one which was unveiled on Friday 10 December 2021 alongside the creek in Tumbarumba. I love the helping hands and think it’s a perfect representation of ‘together we are strong’, something our town has had to be with recent bushfires, floods and the pandemic.
I’ll feature the other sculptures in future posts.
Gifted to the people of the Snowy Valleys by the Friendship Society of Denmark, Australia and New Zealand as part of the Snowy Valleys Sculpture Trail. Unveiled by H.E. Pernille Dahler Kardel, Danish Ambassador to Australia on 10 December 2021.
You can read more about the new sculpture trail which will be opening in April 2022 here.

Really nice sculpture and I love the way the artist made the images rotund and not politically good looking slim! Hurrays for the artist for being inclusive.

Yes I agree but apparently some people have questioned why they are so rotund! All this artist’s work features these little round people. Thanks for stopping by.
