"Its a nice park but we could not spend more than an hour.
Edit: Thank you for your quick response and we can definitely plan another time with all the information to see more around the place😍"

"This image presents another uniquely decorated cow sculpture, this time with a whimsical and theatrical flair. The cow is painted in shades of brown, but it's adorned with a vibrant blue and black "costume." This costume features gold trim, button-like accents, and what appears to be a saddle on its back, adding to the imaginative design.
The cow also sports a red hat or head covering and large, stylized goggles or eye coverings, giving it a cartoonish and almost steampunk-like appearance.
Like the previous sculptures, this cow stands on a simple green rectangular base, situated on a patch of green grass. The background shows a sunny day with trees displaying a mix of green and yellow leaves, suggesting it might be autumn in Melbourne. The bright sunlight casts a distinct shadow of the cow on the ground, highlighting its three-dimensional form.
Overall, this sculpture is a playful and creative piece of public art that injects a sense of fun and fantasy into the outdoor setting. The attention to detail in the painted costume and accessories makes it a captivating and amusing sight."
