The Lower Light protest statues are a series of large steel sculptures created from recycled materials located in Lower Light, South Australia, near the town of Dublin on the Port Wakefield Road. The works consist of a large rat, a blowfly, a dunny, two people in an environmental lookout, a UFO, a caricature of Ned Kelly, and a tin man.〔 The statues were made by local resident and farmer, Stephen Jones, as a protest against the establishment of a dump in the late 1990s by the Olsen government, as part of a plan to replace the Wingfield Waste & Recycling Centre.〔Crouch, Brad. (31 May 2009). "Frequent flyer". ''The Sunday Mail''. pT03.〕 Although the protest was unsuccessful, the statues remained, and are now regarded as part of South Australia's political and cultural history,〔Statham, Larine. (26 July 2009). "SA: Trash and treasure on the road heading north". ''AAP News''.〕 to the extent that they were nominated for heritage status by David Winderlich in 2009.〔Lloyd, Tim. (30 May 2009). "Bid to keep protest art Heritage plea for 'cockroach'". ''The Advertiser.'' p33.〕 In 2013 the cockroach was removed from the set when the owner of the land relocated and decided to sell the property. The cockroach was relocated to a scrapyard in nearby Two Wells.〔Watson, Callie. (14 November 2013). "Northern protests stay put for now". ''The Sunday Mail''. p3.〕 This led to a Facebook campaign by Andrew Costello.〔 The campaign led to Costello learning about the current location of the cockroach, and he purchased it from the owners for "two slabs of beer".〔Dornin, Tim. (20 December 2013). "(The big cockroach calls Adelaide home )". ''AAP News''.〕 After being restored and temporarily relocated to Rundle Mall, it is expected that the cockroach will be returned to the original site in 2014.〔 ==References==
