The chair has no seat. I’m uncertain as to why anybody wishing to dispose of a broken chair would carry it into the middle of a park.
A traditional milk jug country mailbox, but found in pile of earth in an inner-city park. I didn’t check to see if there was any mail in it.

Only reasonable explanation: Someone is turning Footscray Park into an outdoor gallery of found art.
And here are my interpretations…
The first installation is a sombre meditation upon the impermanence of human life and the inevitable loss that its end brings.
The second installation is a politically charged statement upon the suburbanisation of Australia.
Less talk about Footscray …. more Ranting about TV’s on Trains!
(I saw your comments on the news last night, and kind of agree!).
Those old milk cans are fetching $250 at country antique / colletors stores, that’s why so many milk can letterboxes on country roads have gone missing.
I think the chair was the result of drunken kids shenanigans.
@Konrad
Psh, I’ll see your reasonable explanation and raise you ALIENS!
FREAKING ALIENS HAVE INVADED FOOTSCRAY PARK!!
everybody run!
(think about it, why would aliens need a base for a chair or a house to accompany a mail box?)
@OzSoapbox
Everything is better with aliens. I just didn’t know they liked found art.
Decades ago when I had rellies on farms, the things now used for letter boxes were cream cans. Milk cans (churns?) were 50% taller and tapered.
Of course they are valuable now, they are ideal for making your own booze.
The chair: Tony Abbott will be sentenced to sit in/on it when he flunks the election.
