Here's a colourful bench, to join the rest in Jude's bench collection. There are a number of such benches newly scattered around Narooma, and always in the company of a more traditional bench. I'm wondering if there's a meaning or a function I'm missing. The view is wonderful, out over the inlet to the curves of the coastline, and north towards my village.

Now this really isn’t good enough, Meg! You can’t tell me about the lovely view and then not show me! 😦 But I do love the bench. I could shuffle my bum about on that for ages 🙂 (I’m not being bizarre- it looks slippy)

Haven’t got a photo. Blame Jude. Was too busy puzzling over the bench, and this month wasn’t a bench with a view. I may have lied about the view too, now I come to think of it. You want too much anyway. I provided a bench for you to bum-shuffle on, and you demand a view. Greedy!

I’ve sent you a video to make up for it. Strictly non-intellectual. 🙂

I was going to send you my Bagpuss video too but I thought you’d see it on Megs. 🙂

I think it’s beautiful but only if there was a good reason to chop the old trees down 😔

I don’t think it’s timber. It felt more like marble, which I don’t think it is. I think I’ll have to see if the tourist info centre or the council knows anything.

Mmm… this has got me wondering. Very subtle colours, earthy, faded, sculptural. Are you sure you are meant to sit on it? No plaque? Looks big enough to picnic on whilst we gaze towards your village 😀

If not sit on, what?? You’ve described it beautifully. It’s part of town beautification that involved chopping down a heap of old eucalypts to create a barren roadscape. No plaque. It didn’t invite you to sit: low and a bit too new.

I get the impression that you are not impressed.

Mystified. I like to understand the point of what I see.

I see colours and vague shapes of bark and leaves in it. And perhaps it was commissioned to encourage a local artist. But I prefer the artistry of nature in this case, leaving the old eucalypts to be enjoyed as the works of art that they are.

I see what you mean about bark. If encouraging local artist, I’d sort of expect to see a name. I absolutely agree about preferring nature.
