Lovely finds from Jordache at Cigarettejeans. Jordache says
The sculptures are from up at Club Capricorn, Yanchep. This wasn’t even all of them! There were at least 4 others that were the Beatles and what I am assuming was Marilyn Monroe but I think the giant breasted mermaid and Wizard of Oz quartet are enough to go on with. Also, please try and figure out what the crazy coloured face one is supposed to represent? It’s like a leprechaun vomited all over it’s face.These are incredibly TWOP. They could have been produced by Satan himself. I think the first one might be David Bowie?
The bloke with the green shiner looks a bit like Barry Court.

Who are those 2 blokes? Also, the mermaids arse may be restricting the dolphin’s blowhole.

The dolphin is not looking that unhappy about it although it’s eyes are bulging a little.

The mo guy could be Simon “asleep at the wheel” O’Brien shadow development minister, supposedly responsible for holding the government to account on the foreshore farce.
I’m sure it’s him.

even more disturbing is that they were commissioned by Alan Bond in the mid-eighties. I can’t remember the name of the chap who carved them but he was still making more up until Atlantis Marine Park closed in early nineties

The top one is either Todd Johnson, Boy George or anyone from a Flock of Seagulls after a run-in with Ken Done.
Next we have Dennis Lillee & Jeff Thompson, or maybe Ritchie Benaud?
