Image
An Australian man has used his time in lockdown to create a 750kg sculpture of a laughing kookaburra that he says will bring joy to the community in bleak times. Dr Farvardin Daliri, an academic and artist, debuted the huge bird this week on the streets of Brisbane, and will soon take it north to the Townsville Cultural Festival. “I started making it during Christmas,” he said. “Then the design was altered and I decided to have it laughing, with movement and stuff.

Canberra and Wellington have been discussing the possibility of a travel bubble between the countries as both countries have - to date - slowed the spread of Covid-19, to levels well below those seen in the United States, the UK, and across Europe.
