Muddy Tingtig

Day 5 of my Carrington Walk photos and today's photo is outside Carrington Public School.

It is a sculpture of a Muddy Tingtig which is the Awabakal Aboriginal word for crab.

This sculpture was created by local artist Angie Parkes and students of Carrington Public School.

Thanks for your comments on my previous Carrington photos. Sorry I have been a bit absent the last few days but got a lot going on at the moment and limited on 365 time.

Love and tickled!! by the Aboriginal name for a crab- much better than the word crab !!! An interesting sculpture except it looks rather as if he has been hung up there to dry !! ha !

[Casablanca]

Tingtig is a fabulous word!

[Yao RL]

A funny looking creature.

Such a cool looking sculpture, and it's wonderful that the school children played a part in creating it.

[Kathy A]

Fabulous sculpture

[Jennifer Eurell]

That is a rather extraordinary looking crab!

[Rob Z]

How cool - and what a super name for a crab - we've always just called them "muddies" ourselves.

[Beverley]

Lovely mosaic work… nice sculpture oh and awesome name

[Dione Giorgio]

Strange name for a crab. I like the sculpture. We see a few sometimes when we go swimming. Not this size though.

[Joan Robillard]

Very nice

I can feel it hanging there like it’s a real creature. Cool shot.

[Mags]

How very cool!

[Wylie]

took me a while to work out it was a crab- should have read your text first!

[Cliff McFarlane]

It feels as though it's just climbed the pole.

[Carolinesdreams]

Great art piece- I'm glad you explained what it was- after a day of driving I thought it was a flamingo that flew into the pole! My crazy eyes!!!
