Is this international?

This sign was found outside Toronto.  Maybe the guys who put the chairs on the Brookton Highway are part of an international movement?

Some new chairs on the old Brookton Highway.  They are like old friends who have come along to sit in the bush and watch us drive past.  We wave, like the royalty travelling along, acknowledging the men an women that made this road great!

There they are, side by side next to the highway.  A bit like a Henry Moore sculpture, they are regal and dignified. But as night falls, it is cold out in the Australian bush. The owl hoots, the bandicoot scratches and a dead branch falls.  Do they nudge closer when no-one is looking?

Why do these chairs appear?

Well who knows.  It is a mystery.  We started seeing them when driving up the Highway, which is East of Perth.  It started about two years ago.  All sorts of old chairs, with curious names written on them.  They move around, they disappear and they return.  It does not really matter who is doing it but it does make the trip interesting.  Creative and organic.

Small chairs, big chairs

They went, but they are returning!

So the chairs were removed in early March 2011, but it looks like the True Believers are slowly bringing them back.  Very slightly anarchic, creative and fun.  I am worried about Goat.  He is a bit of a mischief with that spray can.
