| Tree sculptures by Eddie Freeman |
Tasmanian chain-saw artist Eddie Freeman has released these historical
figures from their imprisonment in the Windmill Point macrocarpa trees.
The sculptures depict workmen hauling ashore the telegraph cable that
linked Tasmania to the North Island, the cable station was the messaging
hub of the state until 1909. Matthew Flinders with his cat Trim,
George Bass, and William Paterson are also represented.
