FOUR bird sculptures by Tank and Tobin, the creators of Euroa’s magpie, were a big hit at this year’s Euroa Show.

The works by Longwood’s Steve Tobin and Shepparton’s Tank included two larger sculptures of a kingfisher and lorikeet, and two smaller sculptures of a magpie and blue wren.

“The kingfisher, being blue, was a good fit for the Speed Shear, the Beyond Blue fundraiser they were doing,” Mr Tobin said.

The orange and blue kingfisher was intentionally positioned across from the shearing stage in a nod to the Beyond Blue brand colours.

The mini “trail” of bird sculptures at the show offers a taste of what the Euroa art trail could look like, a current project of the Euroa Community Action Group and Euroa Chamber of Commerce, supported by council.

But Mr Tobin has an even bigger dream, saying he would like to see a shire-wide art trail with a major sculpture in each town.

Euroa Agricultural Society president Lyndal Dean said the sculptures were “fabulous” and she received “lots of positive feedback about them”.
