Deborah Halpern's mosaic sculpture "Angel" is prominent on the banks of the river. Deborah Halpern is one of Australia's most celebrated sculptors, known for her wildly colourful mosaic work. "Angel" stood in the moat of the National Gallery of Victoria for many years before it was moved to its current location at Birrarung Marr.

For decades the Yarra didn't have clean water, and both banks were full of industrial squalour. Now the river is a pleasure to view and to celebrate.

ReplyDeleteI think the sculpture is an eyesore (apologies to anyone who likes it). Beautiful waterway and park, though and lovely shots of the birds.
