He'll be back!
Irrepressible Riverton artist Wayne Hill says,
"Ogon is not gone. He'll rise, phoenix-like from the ashes and reclaim his rightful place in the sun".
The driftwood and iron statue, stolen and dismembered on midwinter's day by a disgruntled curmudgeon but recovered following police enquiries, is now at the home of the artist, undergoing a rebuild in preparation for a return to the estuary. Once in place, a 'fire of defiance' will be lit in his iron cape as a message to anyone else who might object to community-driven art installations and that message is that they're here to stay!
* Update text message from the artist.

I think he should return with two or three hundred brothers..
I've heard a whisper along those very lines Bioneer.
It'd be something to see, wouldn't it. A crowd of childlike figures, driftwood arms outstretched ...
Bah humbug to the grumpy old thief. If he doesnt like it he doesnt have to look at it. Why spoil it for everyone else. A little light and laughter in our lives is always welcome. Dont let the bast**ds grind you down Wayne!
