Leave the path at the lake and enter the Sculpture Garden of the National Gallery of Australia, and you will stumble upon the burghers of Calais .... an incongruous sight among the scraggy eucalypts.
Detail #1 of burgher group: some greyscale conversion and tone curve adjustment.

@Still: Merci Still.
I love the solidity that you've brought out, they look immovable and very muscular. My poor pc can't cope with the length of it on aminus3, but printed out I think the length only serves to emphasise the size and scale. Great shot!

@Bronnie: Agree. Even full screen view it's large, but I like to scroll slowly down that strong and muscular back - can't bring myself to repost a smaller one now.
PREVIEW ONLY
