Mr. Stringy
Mr. Stringy, also known as The Wooden Man or just The Man, is a folk art project and tourist attraction on the Great Alpine Road in East Gippsland, Victoria, Australia. Mr. Stringy is a sculpture in a human form, originally carved from a stringybark stump, which is regularly repainted into different topical characters by anonymous community members.
==Description==
Mr. Stringy is located at Dead Horse Flat on a remote and isolated section of the Great Alpine Road alongside the Tambo River in East Gippsland, at an elevation of . The nearest habitation is the small farming community of Tambo Crossing, some south of the sculpture, with the nearest population centres being the small towns of Ensay north, and Bruthen south.〔
Mr. Stringy is carved into a human form from a single piece of timber log, and consists of an over-large head and torso without legs, somewhat in the nature of the moai of Easter Island. Originally the wood used was probably stringybark, from which its name was derived, and was most likely to have been an actual tree stump in this location.〔 However it is now a transplanted log and is thought to be a more solid and durable type of eucalyptus, such as the yellow box or grey box, rather than stringybark.
Mr. Stringy stands tall above ground, with approximately a further below ground. It has a diameter of and a circumference of . The carved head, neck, and shoulders take up half of the height above ground, with the remainder being the undifferentiated torso. The face area has been flattened from the natural curve of the log, and has carved eye sockets and the remains of a nose, which has possibly been lost at some time by weathering or through vandalism.
