The landmark sculpture in St Kilda was sliced off at the ankles overnight by vandals, who targeted the statue on the eve of Australia Day.
The metal sculpture on Jacka Boulevard in St Kilda was sawn off at the ankles about 3.30am Thursday, with vandals also spray-painting “the colony will fall” on the statue’s granite plinth.
Clean up any rough/sharp edges on the ankles, put a splash of something on the paint to preserve it and leave it there for (hopefully) generations to come.
