By TANK AND TOBIN SCULPTURE WORKS

THE Tank and Tobin Sculpture Works open day on Saturday was a hit despite the 37 degree forecast.

Over 300 people dropped into the studio in Longwood across four hours.

They were treated to a fantastic array of metal and wooden sculptures, including several new painted Australian birds, a giant emoji, and lots of farm tools and machinery which the artists had cleverly repurposed.

The sculptures were displayed as a trail in a shaded bushland setting and the pair's friends and family handed out free refreshments and sausages.

Visitors were very generous, with the donation tin by the barbeque raising $280 for the Longwood Action Group.

Steve Tobin said: "It was great to meet so many lovely people, we had visitors from Murchison, Echuca, Seymour, Avenel, Nagambie, Shepparton, and even a holidaying couple from Wollongong."

Tank said: "Thanks to everyone who came out to visit, gave us a hand to put on the day, or bought a Tank and Tobin memento for their home."
