Happy Australia Day.
One of the most damn impressive things I’ve seen recently is the giant statue of Mazu beside the railway line between South Kensington and Footscray. It towers over everything else nearby.
It’s part of a Buddhist temple being built on the site.

Ah so that’s what that thing is. I’ve seen it a couple of times and have wondered what it was all about. I assumed it was some sort of public art installation or something.
It must be a pretty big site where the temple is located. It’s contaminated and desolate land though…
I look at that thing every morning… impressive for it’s ugliness on a grand scale, really.
Oh I passed this for the first time on Friday and wondered what it was. It does look kinda cool.
Saw that on the way to Bendigo (by train) in early January. Looks rather out of place.
