Captain Burke Park art at Kangaroo Point

While visiting Kangaroo Point the other day, we discovered this strange looking piece of art in Captain Burke park under the Story Bridge. There was no inscription of any kind anywhere so we don't know what it is or who created it. Maybe someone can fill us in.

  1. No doubt that each little part of this sculpture has a meaning but the whole thing remains pretty cryptic. A full blurb about it would be welcome. Nothing on the internet ?

  4. Well I guess the monuments people ran out of money and couldn't attract sponsers to put up what it all meant! They certainly are bizarre. Perhaps with no comments on what they are supposed to represent, people may just talk more about them? I could think of an appropriate comment on the fellow in the top photo with the brief case and what does look vaguely like a "brown paper bag" - only Queenslanders might get that message!

  7. THIS IS THE MOST DISGUSTING PIECE OF ARTWORK IN BRISBANE !!!!!!!
    If these pictures had been closer and this piece of "ART" (in inverted commas) been explained it would have been pulled down by now........

    IF.... you put it all together.... this is not.. loverly colours and empty Symbols.......

    The World, honestly, is controlled by those with money..... The even control the US govt.. which in turn controls the Aussie Fed govt... which trickles down to the different states.......

    The word Illuminati..... has been hidden.. .and we dont hear about it in the LAMEstream media.... cause they dont want us to hear certain things....

    The big wigs in this World are RUNNING SCARED... of losing their POWER..... This is not done for money.... but for power..... and they are shitscared we're all going to find out the truth.....

    I believe the TV brainwashes everyone.. so I throw it off the balcony.. and havent switched one on in two years !!!!

    THIS PIECE OF FILTH... is directly from the hand of the devil... and everything the huge powers of the world represents....

    BUT IT IS PUT IN FRONT OF US..... to continue the control...... MASSIVELY CRIPTIC and SUBLIMINAL messaging going on right here.......

    You have MR MONEY BAGS...... you have aliens.... you have humans worshipping the Moon God....
    You also have some indispicable, sexually imagary at play........

    I can not this has been there in front of some many's eyes and no-one has said a thing about it........


    IF YOU ARE NOW THINKING... Robbo has lost it.. (I have only made true points)
    one point you cant deny..... is LACK OF PLAQUE !!!!

    normally artists always put their names on it.... THERE IS NOT ONE ARTIST NAME..
    NO INFO I CAN FIND ABOUT THIS PIECE OF RUBBISH....
    nor the Plaque that would explain this... or name it... etc etc etc......

    This dodgy structure needs to be pulled down.... I am doing a full story on this.. as I ONLY SAW IT YESTERDAY as I was filming in that park.......

    After starting research I found YOUR BLOG ..

    THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU !!!!!

    Stay Tuned...... I am going to UNIVERSITY PROFESSORS. that only look at images and SYMBOLS !!!!

    THIS is a brainwashing wall.....
    That's all of us.. STUCK IN THE TV.... and it's all in threes.... there is a plane with blood on it... with a bomb under it.....

    MARK MY WORDS BRISBANE BLOG READERS !!!

    I ROBBO DA YOBBO , WILL HAVE THIS PIECE OF SHIT TORN DOWN !!!!

    Thankyou...

  8. Hello everyone

    I hope all you'll get this answer for your questions about this sculpture.
    This sculpture was created by Stephen Killick in 1988 for the Expo 88 and it's called "The Rock". I've found on youtube an interview with the sculptor:

    I hope you enjoy it and that I could help you
