Government House Gargoyle

Clemens Rettich

I love this gargoyle-ish character in the gardens at Government House. I kick off each year's Movember campaign by doing a selfie with it. I did it the year I started and it feels like it has become a kind of spirit animal for me. It is an image on my journey to mental health. I love how people leave little offerings of flowers as if it were a creature in some animist shrine.
