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 !

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

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