Have you seen this kangaroo?
The larger of the family of steel kangaroos at entrance to Penneshawโ€™s main street was mysteriously and disappointingly stolen in October last year.
The trio of kangaroos, made of recycled farm machinery steel found on local farms and properties, stood proudly bolted into concrete at the corner Thomas Willson Street and Middle Terrace.
Now sculptor Philip Baines has started a fundraising campaign on gofundme create a replacement and complete the family again.
