No not Carnarvon, Jon. Carnarvon is in the Gascoyne.
You will have to go further north.
Probably about another 1100 klm. or so.

I know there is one just north of the Caloundra Turn-off on the Sunshine Coast, [my home turf] but I believe there are others in different parts of the country as well.

Cheers,
Sheba.

Don't know what happened to my first reply.  It wouldn't come through on the right page, so here goes again.

Good choice sheba, I have no idea where it is http://www.sparkimg.com/emoticons/frustrated.gif but it's definitely one that you have to have seen to know where it is.
Lets hope someone else has seen it out of us 2000 odd grey nomads.

Cheers

That's Broken Hill, the 'Sculpture Symposium' just north of town. We're not much into art, and were hard pressed not to chuckle at some of it!
