Gallery of log for Gargoyles
Our former Premier, Jeff Kennett, used as the inspiration for this Gargoyle on St Patricks in East Melbourne.

For years it has been rumoured that Jeff Kennett was the model for one of the gargoyles on the side of the cathedral. Now the master stonemason Tom Carson, who carved the two new gargoyles, confirms the truth. Mr Carson finished the job of carving two new gargoyles for the east transept in 1992. He describes his Kennett gargoyle - inspired by a caricature in The Age by John Spooner - as "just a whim but in keeping with a centuries-old tradition".
Thanks for this geocache which I am using as part of the Summer Scavenger Series.
